Spoelstra, LeBron Met On Monday Afternoon

[Legacy]

In the midst of speculation about player unrest and a run of poor performances, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and star LeBron James met for 30 minutes on Monday afternoon.

 

Spoelstra said the meeting was primarily about Miami's offensive struggles and wasn't a clearing-the-air type conference.

 

Both seemed to emerge on the same page, there was no denial that the Heat are dealing with some internal issues.

 

"I call these 'healthy conflicts,' " Spoelstra said. "I truly believe these are good for a team. As long as you can survive these, it'll make you stronger. It'll make your bond stronger."

 

James denied he was personally frustrated with Spoelstra, who has asked James to change some of his offense this season. That has included playing mostly point guard.

 

"I think there's frustration from everyone," James said. "As far as me and Spo being frustrated with each other, I don't think there is. I have Coach Spo's back or whatever the case may be. This is who we have.

 

"If I have something to say to Coach Spo, I'm going to go to Coach Spo. If he has something to say to me, which he's done, he's going to come to me. It is nothing I'll take behind his back. I've never done that, I will not do that."

Good to see them getting on the same page. Needs to happen if we want to be successful.

I wonder why then he choose Miami, when he wanted a coach who was an NBA player which was Byron Scott and that is now coach of the Cavaliers which was Lebron was previous on.
