The Cleveland Cavaliers shocked the basketball world ahead of the trade deadline by basically trading their entire team away for a new team.

The Cavs made the trades in the hopes of turning their season around and in three games since the deals, Cleveland's 3-0 and everyone is happy again in the Land.

 

 

The Cavs are happy again

Being the GOAT that he is, LeBron said he would play with the new-look Cavs on NBA 2K18 to see how things would translate and get a feel for his new teammates in the virtual world.

If you thought LeBron was joking about doing that, you're sadly mistaken.

The NBA All-Star game is this weekend and the Cavs haven't played a game since Tuesday, so James has had a ton of time to play with the new-look Cavs in 2K and clearly he's pretty comfortable with his new teammates on the court and in the gaming world.

The one question we have to ask, though, is why did LeBron have to test things out against the Raptors?  Maybe we should look at is a compliment to Toronto in the sense that LBJ thinks they're a real threat in the East.  If that's the case, he could have at least taken it easy on them in the game.
