LeBron James is still arguably the best player in the NBA, but headlines surrounding the superstar have little to do with his play on the court. Cavaliers leadership has finally decided to tackle the issue and confront James.
Cavs coach Tyronn Lue and general manager David Griffin have both had discussions with James regarding the player's recent disruptive behavior, according to Cleveland.com.

Lue reportedly spoke to James about his halftime dialog with Dwyane Wade on Saturday during Cleveland’s 122-101 road loss. Lue didn’t appreciate James using that time to chat with his buddy instead of warming up with his teammates.
James reportedly apologized to Lue.
Griffin’s conversation with James, which occurred Wednesday, revolved around comments James made about his desire to one day play with Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul on the same team for a “year or two.”
The comments aren’t recent, but the story run by Bleacher Report came at a particularly rocky time in James’ relationship with the Cavaliers, whom he unfollowed on Twitter earlier in the week.
The discussion with Griffin, according to Cleveland.com, was “positive and productive.”
