They couldn't swing a trade for Jason Kidd, who returned to Dallas, either. Once again, the team failed to bring in a big-time player who could relieve some of the burden on James's shoulders.Sunday, James scored almost half of Cleveland's points against the Celtics. LeBron scored 45 points, while the rest of the team scored 47 The next highest scorer was Delonte West with 15.

The Cavaliers will continue to be the bridesmaid instead of the bride.My advice is that they better find a partner fast, or when his contract is up in 2011, LeBron James might just go find a team who will..
