January potholes are nothing new for Cavs and LeBron James -- Bud Shaw's Sports Spin

CLEVELAND, Ohio - By January standards, LeBron James pressing for an organizational correction to set new coordinates for chasing another title is nothing seismic.

It's almost habit.

David Blatt got fired in January. (I know, LeBron had nothing to do with it, right?)

Timofey Mozgov, Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith came to town in January, passing Dion Waiters on their way.

Two NBA Finals, one NBA championship, followed those moves.

If January is the cruelest month in Cavs basketball, things could be a lot worse. Cruelty in April or May can be lethal.
