Dwyane Wade has struggled in his three games as a Cleveland Cavalier.

The 15-year veteran said it has been a difficult adjustment coming to Cleveland, where he said he is still trying to figure out his role on the team.

"I'm trying to find it, man," Wade said, via ESPN.com. "It's very different, different than I've ever played. Just trying to find my way, as we go on, see how I can be best for this team. Everything's happened so fast. This has been a long, a long week."

Wade only scored five points on 2 of 8 attempts in the 114-93 loss to Orlando Saturday night. In his three games with Cleveland, he is averaging 5.3 points on 28 percent from the field and 25 percent from 3-point range.

"I've always been a (No.) 1 or 2 option. It's just a different game. You got to kind of figure out your way," Wade said.

The team's top player, LeBron James, said having Wade fit in with the team's playing scheme has to happen soon.

"We got to get him going at some point," James said. "That's something we're going to look at and we're all trying to figure it out as well but we got to get him going and hopefully we can do that on Tuesday."

The Cavaliers will host the Bulls Tuesday, who could be without an injured Derrick Rose. It will also be the first time Wade sees his former teammates on the court.
