Lue planned to start LeBron James, rookie Cedi Osman, J.R. Smith, former Toronto Raptor Jose Calderon and Tristan Thompson, a Brampton product. The four players acquired at Thursday’s trade deadline were expected to join the Cavs late Friday night in Atlanta. James said it didn’t take him long to see how the four newcomers will help the Cavs. Anytime you trade some guys who have been here and try to help you win, it’s always a sad day. But we had a lot of injuries and a lot of guys came back midway through, which was tough for us.
