Rumors have been going on about new jerseys this year.

I know the Christmas ones and the throwback ones are being worn but I though they make unveil a new one today


Anyone going to the wine and gold scrimmage? it's free..... I got tickets and will probably go. Let me know if any of you go it would be dope to meet up.
 
From Cleveland.com:

Thompson and the Cavs can still work out a long-term contract or Thompson could sign his qualifying offer, a decision that has to be made by Oct. 1.

For now, Michael Dunigan, a 6-foot-10 power forward/center, will take the final spot on the roster. Joining Dunigan as camp invites are guards Jared Cunningham, Quinn Cook and D.J. Stephens along with forwards Austin Daye and Nick Minnerath as well as center Chris Johnson.

The Cavaliers' full roster also includes newly acquired Mo Williams, Richard Jefferson and Sasha Kaun as well as re-signed free agents LeBron James, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova. Holdovers Anderson Varejao, Timofey Mozgov, James Jones, Joe Harris and Kyrie Irving will also be on the court Tuesday, rounding out the 20-player squad.

LeBron James and Mo Williams: How they repaired their relationship


CLEVELAND, Ohio – If a player has any desire of suiting up for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have to check in with LeBron James.

It's protocol.

A blessing from James goes a long way in getting management to increase their intensity level in signing that particular free agent.

"Yeah, you have to call. This is his team," Mo Williams, who played two seasons with James in Cleveland from 2008-10, told Northeast Ohio Media Group. "That's no secret. The conversation was made and the feeling was mutual. It was a good conversation."

Williams and James granted NEOMG separate interviews regarding how their relationship was repaired.

For Williams, had he been interested in joining a James-led team a few years ago, the call might have been awkward. More likely, it would have never occurred.

Williams notably shared his disapproval on social media on the way James left Cleveland in 2010 to form the Big 3 in Miami. On the day of "The Decision," a frustrated and disappointed Williams tweeted, "The only thing, and I mean the only thing I disagree with is. ... If he knew somewhere else was the destination, he should have spared Cle."

Williams took it hard. He had become an All-Star as James' teammate. But devastated by the departure, he contemplated retirement at 27. Their friendship took a hit. They went their separate ways.

During James' first stint in Cleveland, the Cavaliers were arguably the most popular, trend-setting team in the league. They were a flamboyant, flashy, dominant group who had fun in the process. Those pregame choreographed handshakes and pretending to take team photos on the court took pregame rituals to another level.

When we conversed about the opportunity of me coming back, (James) was excited, I was excited and we got it done.
No. 23 instilled that competitive, fun-loving environment and then all of a sudden, he was gone.

"That time was hard," Williams recalled. "It just took a little time."

So how did these two end up sharing the same locker room once again? Williams said James is a forgiving human being. A few years back, Williams reached out to settle their differences. It didn't take long for the conversation to transition to their old time playful banter.

Last season when the Cavaliers played the Timberwolves in Minneapolis, Williams was sidelined with an injury, but those two playfully chatted it up all game long.

Whenever play was stopped near the Timberwolves' bench, they were seen laughing and enjoying each other's company. So when Williams called James last summer to gauge how he felt about a return, it was an endorsement James didn't mind supplying to management.

"It wasn't any animosity during the talk," Williams said. "I thought when we conversed about the opportunity of me coming back, he was excited, I was excited and we got it done. It was basically simple as that."

This isn't the first time we've heard about James' forgiving nature. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert can also attest to this. But James acknowledges that it doesn't always go so well.

"With Mo, it's all about progress over pride," James told NEOMG. "It's something that I learned over the years. But still, I'll hold grudges for a long time. But if it's something that can be a betterment not only for myself but for a group that's trying to do something special, as in this case study with myself and Dan and myself with Mo, I'm for it.

"This is something bigger than just two individuals and I recognize that. But if it's just something between me and some other individual and it doesn't affect nobody else besides me and that individual, then it's on."

Now these two will get another opportunity to accomplish what they fell short of five years earlier. They're older, wiser and in some aspects of their games, better than ever. They're excited for the quest, excited they get to do it together again.

"We're good," Williams said. "Obviously we're both grown men and that other stuff is in the past. We're together to win a title. That's all that matters."
