Lebron James

Most of the Cleveland Cavaliers news and rumors suggested a change in the starting line up as Lebron James is disappointed with the team's slow start.

In the latest Cleveland Cavaliers news from Fox Sports, Lebron James owned up to the struggles of the team, despite having a powerhouse roster on paper.

"We got a four-game losing streak, so I stink. I'm not doing my job," he said before the team's win over Orlando Magic on a score of 106-74.

"Me being the leader of the team, if I start hanging my head low then it's going to start going to everyone else. They look up to me. They look to me to make a difference and I've got to stay positive even through the rough times. As I've said before, this is not the darkest point that we'll see this year. I've seen dark and this is very light to me," Lebron James added.

Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com wrote that it's time to shake up the starting line up, just like what David Blatt did when he inserted veteran Shawn Marion at small forward in the win against Orlando Magic.

"I'm starting to think that it's time again for a change," he said, adding that David Blatt suggested as much when he said the bench needed a boost but held off because he wants a full practice before making the change.

Fedor then suggested, according to the Cavaliers news from Cleveland site, that taking Marion out the starting lineup makes more sense, even if most people will question why the former Heat should be rewarded for playing poorly off the bench.

But he said Shawn Marion is not a two-guard that Mike Miller is.

"If you want to putting someone on the shooting guard, he needs to consistently shoot," he said.
