Cleveland Cavaliers F LeBron James sharply criticizes organization

LeBron James is fed up with his supporting cast, and he's letting people know about it.

The Cavaliers star forward voiced his frustrations with Cleveland's recent struggles after the team's 124-122 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, who were without star big man Anthony Davis, on Monday night.

"I just hope that we're not satisfied as an organization," James told reporters.

Cleveland has lost five of its last seven games, including a 126-91 rout at the hands of the Golden State Warriors last Monday and a 118-115 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.

James has been lobbying the Cavaliers' front office to acquire a backup point guard to lessen the ball-handling duties for himself and Kyrie Irving.

"We need a (expletive) playmaker," James said Monday.

"It's like when you don't have bodies. It's tough," James said. "The (expletive) grind of the regular season. We're a top-heavy team. We have a top-heavy team. We top-heavy as (expletive). It's me, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love. It's top-heavy."

James added, "I don't know what we got to offer. I just know me, personally? I don't got no time to waste. I'll be 33 in the winter, and I ain't got time to waste. That's what I'm talking about."

James said he has spoken with Cavaliers general manager David Griffin in person to communicate his frustrations.

Last season, James helped Cleveland end a 52-year professional sports championship drought while helping the Cavaliers erase a 3-1 series deficit against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.

James is still putting up healthy numbers this season, averaging 25.6 points, 8.4 assists and 7.4 rebounds, and Cleveland (30-13) maintains a 2 1/2-game lead over the Toronto Raptors atop the Eastern Conference.

But that's not good enough for King James.

"We got to figure it out," James said. "It's been a (expletive) 2017 so far."
