David Stern said today that he has reached out to LeBron James in an attempt to discuss what took place.
LeBron James spoke to the media one day after the loss, and explained how he felt. He appeared quite upset—which is understandable, because his Cleveland Cavaliers were the top-seeded East team coming into the playoffs.

Cleveland Cavaliers Stay Put at Trade Deadline

Earlier in the week, the Cavs had been rumored to have targeted Sacramento Kings center Brad Miller, but he was eventually traded to the Chicago Bulls. Miller would have undoubtedly helped the Cavs in their quest for an NBA championship this season.
Amar’e Stoudamire was the top trade target rumored to be available. The Phoenix Suns’ star would have been a stellar addition for the Cavs, who could have paired star-with-star with LeBron James and Amar’e. Phoenix center Shaquille O’Neal was also rumored to be targeted by the Cavaliers. O’Neal’s experience and veteran attitude would have helped in a major playoff push.
Cavs fans can only wait and see if their team staying put ends up being the right decision.
