Did Lebron make "The Decision"? ...Or did Dan Gilbert make "The Plan"...

It'd be funny as hell to see LeBrons reaction while reading this :lol



Expect cavs to "vanish", poor guy knows too much

[QUOTE=IamRAMBO24]Dude this is worst than that "illuminati" bullsh*t one of my co workers was talking about; he said something about aliens controlling the world and that all the evidence is in a dollar bill or some sh*t.

This is stupid; do you really think Gilbert is gonna tank the team that badly to execute some master plan? Well f*ck, he should of signed a bunch of stars instead of tanking to get a bunch of noobie first rounder. I'm sure the Cavs could of easily attracted Chris Paul, Howard, Deron Williams, etc. with a promise of a championship.

Why wait for a few first rounders when they could of gone after proven stars and lose millions in the process? That doesn't even make sense and if it is real, that is hand downs the dumbest "plan" I have ever heard in the history of the sports.

So Lebron deliberately choked to play for the Heat, and now he is gonna choke again to go back to the Cavs? Well why the f*ck would he choke in the first place when he knew he was gonna leave the Cavs and go to the Heat and then come back? The Cavs would of already tanked their season when he left, so there would be no reason to just give up.

Contrary to popular belief, I think Lebron really did want to win the ring every year.[/QUOTE]:roll: :lol :oldlol:

You should be honored that I'm even acknowledging your feeble existence.

Cleveland sports are a joke. Don't kid yourself. You may have lost the lottery of life by having to be a Cleveland fan, but that's no reason for you to lash out at the rest of us. You can't help being inferior and we just can't help being fortunate and successful.

We should learn to get past those differences and participate in basketball discussion like reasonable adults. I'll take the high road and forgive you.

I dont live in the Cleveland or event the US. Im fine.
Ill admit it. I became a Cavs fan cus I liked them having a home state kid playing for them and making a little team better.

I dont care about other Cleveland sports team.

You're a proper Ohio man, unlike our friend Kukoc over here...Please tell me how many championship parades in Cleveland have you attended?

You seem so very confident that Dan Gilbert has had this master plan since day 1. Can he resurrect Wilt from the grave while he's at it?

I agree that was a good movie. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are both great.

So how many playoff appearances had the Cavs made since Lebron James left the team? I love seeing my team play in June.

OP :applause::bowdown:

Yeah being a fan of Cleveland sports sounds like complete shit but you don't have to be a dick to them because of it :lol

If anything they get my respect more than any other fans because of how dedicated they are to their city and sports teams.

For their fans sake I hope whoever they draft with the first pick this year becomes a star and I also hope that Manziel can take the Browns to the promise land. Cleveland fans deserve it.

Dan Gilbert, is that you?

The Magic are apparently offering Afflalo, the 4, and the 12 for the number 1 pick.

Don't you have to do that if you are the Cavs?

1. You're taking PB seriously. That's your first mistake.

2. Cleveland is actually an incredible sports town. I'm pretty sure there's no other city even close to as small as Cleveland that have teams in all three major American sports.

Hell no. They need a small forward and in this draft the top two players happen to be small forwards (though I see Wiggins as a 2).

You take the man at the top of your board, period. Don't want to be stuck with Exum and some mediocre late lottery player with a logjam at the guard position while the Magic have a perennial all star.

[QUOTE=RedBlackAttack]Absolutely not.

Why? If you are going after Lebron...I don't see how he's coming over to play with what the 1 pick is getting you.

Honestly, even if there is no chance to get Lebron...I do that deal. Parker/Wiggins are so over-rated right now.

I was talking about it in the sense of pursuing Lebron...so the SF need is irrelevant.

But I still do that deal regardless.

I really think people going this hard after Parker/Wiggins are going to be in for a huge disappointment. Of course, knowing the cavs they will **** up picks 4 and 12...so maybe they shouldn't do given their history of missing on picks.

But damn...that is a nice offer...you could get Afflalo, Embid, and a solid player at 12...I just don't see how you pass on that for Parker/Wiggins. But I rate them way lower than most I guess.

lmao if you're cleveland you let go of lebron and move on. it'd be stupid as hell to **** up your draft just to try and lure lebron only for him to not even consider it.

that ship sailed after dan gilbert wrote that pissy letter and then cleveland re hired mike brown :lol

Nope, not happening? Why would Lebron want to go there? There are no proven super stars there. Kyrie is the closest to one, but he's not a good match with Lebron

Look, you're one of the better people here on ISH but I have to ask if you seriously believe that. Winning isn't everything in sports, but Christ, Cleveland has been in a bad drought. And the future is not exactly looking too bright, at least from an outsider's perspective.

And why conveniently leave hockey off the list? It's a major sport.

You know my feelings on LeBron, so you're barking up the wrong tree with that stuff.

I look at it like this... there are three top players in this draft, all of which play a position of a need for the Cavs (Parker, Wiggins, Embiid). Moving down to 4 would likely cost us a chance at drafting one of those guys and I honestly do not see another player in the Top 10 that makes any sense on this roster.

The only way it would make any sense is if the Cavs still want Embiid, but not at No. 1, but that's not a trade you make before the draft... that's a trade you make after the first three picks have been made and you know he's still on the board.

Quality > Quantity in the NBA. You can throw a bunch of pretty good pieces out the window for one guy that can turn your franchise's fortune around and not think twice about it. Missing out on the top three guys to pick up Afflalo and #12 would be a horrible idea, imo... whether James comes back or not.

The three major sports in America are football, baseball and basketball in that order. There's no "convenient" leaving off of hockey. It's not close to as popular in the US as the other three. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. Look at television ratings if you don't believe me.

Is hockey even broadcast on a major network any more? Don't you have to have a special version of NBC to even watch the playoffs?

And, championship droughts have nothing to do with how good a sports city is. Fans have no control over the fortunes of their professional sports franchises. All they can do is be fans... and Cleveland does that well.

People just don't realize what appear to be small differences from prospect to prospect right now will end up being much bigger gaps in the NBA.

The best player from this draft will likely have much more value than the 4th best player from this draft. Thats just usually how it works.

How likely is it that the best player will go first? And even still Afflalo + two highish draft picks might give you a lot more value then the best player in this draft.
