Re: Smart move by Dan Gilbert
[QUOTE=Indian guy]I don't see how it was smart by any definition. What FA or star would want to play for that lunatic now? Not only did the fool lose LeBron today, but he lost any chance at every landing a good player too. Trades/free agency was his only HOPE of winning a championship before LeBron. But after this stupid tirade, he can kiss that dream good bye.[/QUOTE]

Then you are the only one. I can't recall anybody criticizing his tour to hear what the other teams have to offer.
Re: Smart move by Dan Gilbert
Who would want to play for them now?
First you have to accept the fact that you are playing in a dying town.
Then, if you leavea, the owner will throw a hissy fit and bring up every negative thing you've ever done, even if you were the single greatest thing to grace that franchise.
Re: Smart move by Dan Gilbert
King Gilbert is smartly playing all his cards right.

Re: Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
That letter shows what we need more of in the NBA.
Straight up passion for the game, and for the team.
Re: Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
Cavs owner says Cleveland will win NBA title before LeBron? The man is obviously drunk.
Re: Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
Its got to be a relief for Lebron, not having to carry the Cavs & their sorry owner any longer. :roll: Huge weight lifted off his shoulders, he'll have a blast in Miami :cheers:

Passion can be displayed in a respectful manner.
In general I am disappointed in the Cavs fans. You lost your best player so move on. It was always at least a 50/50 chance of happening.
As far as I can see Lebron visited all the cities, made up his mind, and had a very casual and far from glamourous press conference to announce it. nothing really nasty or resentful about it.
What is nasty and pathetic is the behaviour of the Cavs owner.
Re: Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
The only thing guaranteed for the Cavs is the lottery. Gilbert's business is going down and he knows it. That letter he wrote is tactless and pathetic.
Re: Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
Eat $hit Dan Gilbert. FU and Quicken Loans. Having a documented tantrum. Weak.
Re: Smart move by Dan Gilbert
Cavs fans, can you at least openly admit what everyone who watched the Celtic series thought - that Lebron quit after the team went up 2-1. How much of this passive play (in fourth quarter of game 4 and ALL of game 5 especially) was because he was so set on leaving Cleveland, and he knew he couldn't possibly leave Cleveland if he won or came close?
Re: Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
I really feel bad for Cavs fans and the people of Cleveland.
Losing LeBron was one thing.
But this letter .... holy sh-t. They will never live this down. I think that letter will probably be taken down in the morning once they realize how amateurish and childish it looks.
Re: Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
Dan Gilbert has no class and is acting like a little girl. Are you mad that LeBron left or that your cash cow left? Dude sounds like a straight up hater. Ungrateful ungrateful ungrateful.......Clevelanders and the Cavs organization should be ashamed of themselves. If you are co-signing this, you need to smoke some weed and chill out. Get over it.
BTW.....Cleveland aint sniffin a title before Miami does. Hell, I'd put money on the Sonics winning one before they do. True story.
