The Cleveland Cavaliers have been off to a pretty rough start in 2017 and have lost five of their last seven games, including dropping a close one on Monday night against a bottom dwelling New Orleans Pelicans team who were without their superstar, Anthony Davis. Needless to say, LeBron James was not happy with his team's effort and blasted the Cavs for not being able to make any significant improvements to their roster as they look to repeat as champions.

James has described the Cavs as being "top heavy" because of how much they rely on their three stars, namely Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and Lebron himself. Irving scored 49 points in the loss against the Pelicans, while James came up with a triple double.

The four-time MVP claims he has no problem with the Cavs' front office, but he proceeded to go on a profanity laced rant expressing his frustrations on how the team is in desperate need of another playmaker. Even when the Cavaliers acquired sharpshooter Kyle Korver from the Atlanta Hawks, James still emphasized how the team needs another point guard.

Kyrie is more of a scorer than a playmaker and while James can still make plays for his teammates on any given night, the Cavs still need to add more depth to their bench. "I just hope that we're not satisfied as an organization. We're not better than last year. From a personnel standpoint," James said after their loss to the Pelicans.

According to a report from Cleveland.com, the Cavaliers still have one open roster spot, a couple of trade exceptions, and Chris Andersen's contract that they can move to free up their cap space. The NBA trade deadline is not until February 23, and teams can add free agents to their roster for the playoffs until March 1.

According to Forbes, the Cavs are apparently interested in acquiring veteran Jameer Nelson from the Denver Nuggets to help add to their thin backcourt. Other names that have popped up on their list include Rajon Rondo of the Chicago Bulls, and Deron Williams of the Dallas Mavericks. Nelson is acting as a mentor to Emanuel Mudiay, but could still contribute to the Cavs and provide them with another veteran presence in the locker room.

Rondo, who has had a reputation of being a locker room cancer, is looking like he is ready to move on from Chicago ever since his starting spot was taken away from him. Williams may no longer be the same type of player that he was during his days with the Utah Jazz, but is still a solid playmaker, and with Dallas currently having one of their worst seasons in franchise history, the former All Star could look to become a buyout option for the Mavs.
