LeBron James took umbrage with a piece written by Frank Isola on Monday while the Cavs were in D.C. The article cited sources who claim LeBron is pushing for Cleveland to trade Kevin Love for his friend Carmelo Anthony. LeBron responded by calling the article “trash,” but then continued on and said the reporter (Isola) who wrote the piece is trash, too.
Isola responded to those attacks from James on Tuesday with Spence Checketts and Gordie Chiesa on “The Big Show.”
