CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The new Cavaliers are trying to adjust to everything, from what they're supposed to call a pick-and-roll coverage to how they move toddler children to Cleveland.

"There were a couple times we were switching tonight I would jump out and call 'Red.' That's a Lakers call," Larry Nance Jr. said. "Little things like that. You've just got to get reacclimated."

On Feb. 8 the Cavs traded for Nance and Jordan Clarkson from the Lakers, Rodney Hood from the Jazz and George Hill from Sacramento. All four now play integral roles in Cleveland, which is challenging because none of them knows the Cavs' system and three don't know the city.

Nance, of course, is the son of Cavs legend Larry Nance and grew up in Northeast Ohio.

"You're moving to a new city, I've got newborn baby girl, a two-year-old that you can't tell nothing to right now, trying to find a place and things like that," said Hill, the oldest of the new Cavs at age 31, who is on his fifth NBA team. "It can get kind of stressful and hard at times, but that's what teammates are for and our front office is doing a great job of taking some pressure off us and making things work."

Though Hill is a veteran in his 10th pro season, this is the first time he's been traded in season. Neither Clarkson, Hood, nor Nance had ever been traded before.

New players come into the fold on NBA teams all the time, but not usually this many, this late in the season, to a franchise with Finals expectations like the Cavs. The team is now 4-2 with its foursome, and hosts the Philadelphia 76ers at 8 p.m. Thursday.

Cavs coach Tyronn Lue and the new players all say practices have a training camp feel.

"They're longer than they've been in the past," Lue said of his practices. "Some of the guys that have been here, they get bored with the process, but we have to do it. Sometimes I think it's even good for those guys at times. We have to do it as much as possible."

Hill, who scored a season-high 26 on Tuesday in the 129-123 win over Brooklyn, is averaging 11.8 points and 2.5 assists with Cleveland.

Clarkson is averaging 14.2 points and shooting .407 from 3-point range. Hood's numbers are down so far from when he was with the Jazz -- he's averaging 11.2 points now compared with 16.8 ppg with Utah. But he's had to share the scoring load on the second unit with Clarkson (an adjustment for both players) and he's shooting .423 from 3-point range.

Nance is averaging 8.8 points and 6.3 boards with the Cavs.

"Obviously there's still some things I've just got to figure out playing with different guys, knowing what Jordan wants to do, knowing what Jeff (Green) wants, Tristan (Thompson), how guys play," Hood said. "But I've just got to continue to be myself and everything will work itself out."

Neither Hill nor Hood had previously played with a player the caliber of James (few have). But Clarkson and Nance both had the experience of playing with Kobe Bryant on the Lakers.

Of the four players, Lue has had to encourage Hill and Hood to shoot more, be more assertive -- which can be common when players take the floor with James for the first time.

Clarkson and Nance didn't need the same message.

"I know he's a great player and going to make plays for us, but we have to be there to support him," Clarkson said. "I have to knock down shots when I'm open. It is what it is."

Nance added: "We're learning on the fly, to be honest with you. I'm enjoying the heck out of it."
