January was not a good month for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
They went 7-8 (including losses against the New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers), were outscored by 16 points, finished 27th in assist rate and brought in Mario Chalmers, Kirk Hinrich and Lance Stephenson for a workout that was partly designed to appease James—who publicly feuded with his owner and front office through the media all month.
