PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dave Ryding is Negative . LONDON (Reuters) - The Alpine ski season is drawing near and Britain’s top Olympic hope  Dave Ryding  will be heading indoors  far from any snowcapped mountains.
Three weeks in Hamburg may lack the glamour of Val d‘Isere and Wengen  but  Ryding  feels the north German port city’s indoor ski facility offers just what  he  needs ahead of potentially the biggest season of  his  career and February’s Pyeongchang Olympics in South Korea.
“I like to go indoors because I know what I’m going to get ” the 30-year-old slalom specialist told Reuters on  his  return from three weeks of training in Ushuaia  in the glacial southernmost tip of Argentina.
Most teams will incorporate some indoor time in their preparations  but the majority for days rather than weeks.  Ryding  is a bit different.
Rivals may think  he ’s mad  but it works for a man who last January equaled Britain’s best ever World Cup result with a stunning second place in Kitzbuehel - one of the showcase slaloms of the season.
 He  had led after the first run down the famed Hahnenkamm slope before being pipped by local favorite and overall World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher.
“They (other rivals) think I’m crazy  but I’ve grown up on those short dry ski slopes which are the same length if not shorter ” said  Ryding .
Growing up in post-industrial north-west England   Ryding  grew familiar with dry ski slopes around the country by competing in summer series of races.
 Ryding  recognizes that Austria’s Olympic medal contenders are unlikely to have ever pitched a tent near a concrete hill but says such experiences stood  him  in good stead.
“In the end we used to love camping. It just became the way of life ”  he  recalled.
While there will never be a level playing field in a sport that involves steep slopes and sheets of jagged ice  and countries with considerable natural advantages   Ryding  has showed  he  has both the talent and resilience to succeed.
 Ryding  was 27th at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and 17th in Sochi four years ago. Last season  he  had six top-10 finishes in the World Cup.
 His  first race of the 2017-18 season is scheduled for Levi  Finland  on Nov. 12 after the World Cup starts with a giant slalom in Soelden  Austria  at the end of October.
”I’ve proven I can get a podium when my day’s right “  he  said. ”They (rivals) certainly take me more seriously than they used to four years ago  I guess.
”I’ve never really looked at  myself  and thought I’m British and these Austrians are looking down at  me .

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity LeBron James is Negative . It’s all smiles for  LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers  after  their  roster makeover at the NBA’s trade deadline. (Adam Glanzman/Getty)
The decision to trade Kyrie Irving to the Celtics was the obvious thing people pointed to in talking about Cleveland’s offseason overhaul when this regular season began in October. But the larger issue for the Cavaliers wasn’t the departure of Irving (though it obviously hurt). It was Cleveland deciding to go away from the very thing that made the Cavaliers into the team that dominated the Eastern Conference over the past three years and won a championship in 2016: Surrounding  LeBron James  with shooters  giving  him  the ball and letting  him  go to work.
3.  LeBron James  is happy again
It only took watching the Cavaliers for a few minutes in January to see that  James  was miserable.  His  stats were down across the board  the team was getting drilled repeatedly  and  his  frustration with the whole situation was clear — to say nothing of the very obvious off-court chemistry issues that were repeatedly bubbling to the surface.
That was what made  James ’s performance — and  his  attitude — Sunday against the Celtics so striking.  He  was flying off the bench to celebrate the performances of  his  teammates — most notably on some late three-pointers by Jordan Clarkson to put the game out of reach.  He  followed up recording triple-doubles in  his  previous two games with 24 points  eight rebounds and 10 assists in 28 minutes as Cleveland won handily and allowed  him  to rest in the fourth quarter.
And when asked about  his  new teammates after the game on ABC’s telecast   he  was effusive in what they can bring to  his  team.
That’s just slightly different than the mood  James  had about  his  teammates a few days ago — and that  his  teammates had about  him . For as much as Cleveland needed to change its mix on the court  it needed to change it off the court as well. In doing so  the Cavaliers have gotten  James  back to being happy and motivated again — and succeeding in that gives Cleveland a bigger win than any other team in the NBA at the deadline.
While the Cavaliers now have a roster and rotation that makes sense in the context of what works best for  James   the moves they made also gave this team a desperately needed shot in the arm of youth and athleticism.
