The deal for PG is said to have fallen apart over a draft pick.

Per ESPN (via LeBron Wire):

“If you want to know what’s really pissing LeBron off, he felt like the Cavs could have had Paul George and Eric Bledsoe,” [Brian] Windhorst said.

 

Windhorst added that LeBron believed they could add both players.
