LeBron James News: Here's One Proof LBJ Is Certain Cavs Would Get Love

The latest LeBron James news brings us to his much thinner physique, weeks after he decided to come home to Cleveland after four years of playing with the Heat. 

In a report by Bleacher Report, a report from ESPN's Brian Windhorst first mentioned LBJ's thinner frame, coming into the upcoming NBA 2014-15 season. 

To make it more specific, Windhorst reported that the four-time MVP has lost 10 pounds since the last NBA Finals. He reported that James reduced his carbohydrates intake to build a leaner form. 

So what does this entail?

In the report, James' effort to be thinner could be due to the fact that he is pretty confident that All-Star forward Kevin Love would be traded to the Cavs. 

With Love and Anderson Varejao manning the front court, there is no reason for James to be banging bodies down low, especially if he can just sprint the court on the break. 

With fellow star point guard Kyrie Irving and shooting guard Dion Waiters running in the wings, LeBron and the Cavs can become an unstoppable run and gun team, especially with a guy like Love on the team. 

While not considered a great defender, Love is a monster off the boards and have averaged double doubles in points and rebounds in his past five seasons. He began his NBA career six seasons ago, and even during his rookie season, he averaged 11 points and 9 boards a game. 

Aside from being an elite rebounder, the 25-year-old power forward also has one of the best outlet passes in the league, which is perfect for James and Irving who love the open court. 

And of course, if James would run the court all throughout the upcoming NBA season, he better shed some pounds - which he already did months before the season tips off.
