LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are in complete and total disarray, and the star forward reportedly is very unhappy with the return the team got in the trade for Kyrie Irving.

But according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, James is upset with the fact that he didn't have new teammates in the form of Paul George and Eric Bledsoe.

Nabbing one of the two mentioned above may have put an end to some of the struggles Cleveland has been facing recently, as they're a woeful 3-7 in their last 10 games, their most recent loss coming at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, who fielded most of their bench with Kawhi, Gasol, Manu and Rudy Gay all inactive for the game. He got back his old friend, Dwyane Wade, while also getting Isaiah Thomas in a deal from the Boston Celtics, even if it did mean sending Kyrie Irving back in exchange.

"What's really pissing LeBron off is that he felt like the Cavs could have gotten Paul George and Eric Bledsoe and they didn't get them", Windhorst said on Zach Lowe's "The Lowe Post" podcast. The team's wild summer peaked when then-point guard Kyrie Irving asked for a trade.

Eric Bledsoe, like LeBron a client of Rich Paul, was clearly disgruntled in Phoenix before eventually landing in Milwaukee.

But he was soon fired by owner Dan Gilbert as they failed to agree on a contract extension and Cleveland missed out on bringing in George and Bledsoe. At the very least, LeBron James believes there's one reason why they look nothing like an National Basketball Association championship contender right now. Instead, we have a draft pick who I'm never going to meet - well I don't know about that, but I'm not meeting him this year.

Months ago, it was reported that James was aggressive in trying to recruit George, painting a picture of long-term success with the Cavs.

But none of this materialised and the Wine and Gold had to settle for Thomas, who has missed most of the season with a hip injury and is still finding his feet and rhythm after a long time out.
