take reports from frank isola as facts


What about comments from Love himself, are those facts? :mjgrin:

Cleveland Cavaliers big man Kevin Love revealed Tuesday that LeBron James informed him that he would be starting at center rather than power forward this season.

Before head coach Tyronn Lue officially announced the change, Love said he had a conversation with LeBron during practice that made him aware the move was on the horizon, according to ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin:

"[A] funny thing happened the third day of practice. I had asked about a certain play on the defensive end and whether it was the different coverages on the 4 or 5 man, and 'Bron kind of stopped me and goes, 'You know you're gonna be starting at the 5, right?'


"So I kind of looked at him and didn't really fully understand that was going to be the case. Not that I would have trained or done anything different. I just would have started wrapping my head around it more. So that's when I kind of knew that was coming into play, and I slowly and surely started to pick it up."
