(SB Nation) – When the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers play a preseason game in Brazil on Saturday, it will be the first time LeBron James’ new team faces his old one. As the preseason game has drawn closer and Heat players have been asked more questions about James’ departure, his former teammates haven’t shied away from talking about the challenges of playing with him.
James has heard the remarks from Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers. It doesn’t seem like he appreciates them.

LeBron: “I haven’t seen them. I talked to D Wade, obviously I haven’t talked to Chris, but I talk to D Wade but I haven’t seen him.”

Bosh made headlines earlier this week by relaying some friendly advice to new Cleveland forward Kevin Love about what it’s like to play with James.
