ORLANDO, Fla. -- LeBron James took the floor for the first time as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

	LeBron James tries his hand against Cavs assistant coach Bob Donewald Jr.

The much-hyped No. 1 draft pick went through his first practice with his new teammates and coaches Saturday night.

James participated in a two-hour workout as the Cavaliers prepared for Orlando's six-team instructional league. James is expected to make his summer league debut Tuesday against the Magic.

"I'm just happy to be back out on the court, playing some competitive games with my teammates," said James, wearing rubber bands on both wrists reading "King James."

The last time James took part in a full practice was March 22, the day before St. Vincent-St. Mary High School won the third Ohio state title in his prep career.

"My wind has to catch back up with me because there's a difference between workout stamina and running-up-and-down-against-other-people stamina," James said. "The wind's coming back and my legs are coming back. I'll be pretty well in a couple of days."

The Cavaliers want the 6-foot-8 James to play point guard, the team's weakest position during its 65-loss season. That campaign allowed the Cavs to draft the phenom with the first pick in last month's draft.

"The young fella knows how to play and that was encouraging," coach Paul Silas said. "The reads he did in our halfcourt offense were just excellent."

Added new teammate Darius Miles: "You can't take the ball from him; he can really dribble the ball."

The Cavaliers arrived at the Magic's practice facility in a caravan of SUVs, with James riding in the passenger seat of a black Ford Expedition XLT driven by Miles. The team flew in from Cleveland earlier Saturday.

The practice capped off a big week for the 18-year-old James. On Wednesday, he signed a three-year, $12.96 million contract with the Cavaliers. He will be paid $4.02 million next season

James already has endorsement deals worth more than $100 million.

James will miss one or two games at the end of the team's stay in Orlando to attend a family member's wedding in Akron, Ohio.

Controversy already has surfaced over James' participation in the Orlando summer league.

The Magic are holding James' first game at the 17,283-seat T.D. Waterhouse Centre, their home arena, instead of their practice facility. Orlando season-ticket holders get in free, while others will be charged $5. All proceeds will be given to the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation.

But James' agent, Aaron Goodwin, has asked Cavaliers officials to seek a share of the proceeds for the team's own Cleveland-area charities.

Magic officials said the team might lose money by holding the game at their home arena as part of a Pepsi Pro Summer league tripleheader.

"What people must also understand is that there are real costs involved in putting on an event like this, and we will be lucky to break even with an admission charge of $0 and $5, respectively," Magic spokesman Joel Glass said. "If we intended to make money, we obviously would have charged significantly more and not made this into an added-value event for the fans."

Said James: "I just want to go out there and have some fun. I'm going to let my agent deal with that and the Orlando Magic organization."
