CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao returned to the court where his season came to an end last December. On Monday for the Cavs’ annual Wine and Gold scrimmage, James wore No. 6 again, instead of his usual No. 23 – which he switched back to when he rejoined the Cavs last season.

Tristan Thompson, who played well at power forward in Love’s absence during the playoffs, has not reported to training camp as he remains in a holdout for a long-term contract. He scored six points in 12 minutes.
Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly where or to whom the cash is going, but hopefully this will become a regular thing for every game, and he’ll spread the wealth around.
“I’m not here to talk about numbers, things of that nature, because that’s for them, for both sides to figure out”, James said via Dave McMenamin at ESPN.com. While those antics, along with flurries of athletic dunks and countless stepback three-pointers, bring him under fire from coaches, analysts, and league officials alike; they also endear him to the hordes of fans watching both at the game and on television.
Blatt said LeBron James would be ready to play in Thursday’s preseason game but sit out the second game in Philadelphia.
