LeBron James was not interested in justifying his trip to Miami to spend part of the time working out with Dwyane Wade.

James used consecutive off days for the Cleveland Cavaliers to fly to Miami.

"I don't care," James said after Cavs practice Thursday when asked about the perception of him spending time with Wade.

"What do I go there for? Go there 'cause I want to," James said. "I would love to go to L.A., but I'll take 2½ [hour flight] over 4½. I've got a house in L.A., but it makes more sense for me to go South than go West. But I go because I want to."

When James finished his remarks to the media for the day, he made reference to the Miami line of questioning again.

"That's cool? I'm OK to leave when I want to leave?" James facetiously asked. "Be back at my work on time, two hours before? OK. Last one to leave the gym. OK. Thank you. Love you guys."

James shortly thereafter posted the following message on Twitter.

"Can't replace being around great friends that reciprocate the same energy back to you in all facets of life," wrote James.

James was also asked what he meant by the following comments on Tuesday on Twitter:

"It's ok to know you've made a mistake. Cause we all do at times. Just be ready to live with whatever that comes with it and be with those who will protect you at all cost!"

James said it had nothing to do with the Cavs or a teammate.
