    He did not rip the bandaid off quickly.
    NO, he dragged it out like torture... while self-promoting.
    Indeed, he chose to self promote over the feelings of his greatest fans.

    true..good post

    Everybody was saying Mo didn't deserve to be an all star, and was a horrible talent as a #2 and should be a #3 or 4 on a championship team.

    Not cool to kick a fan base when they're down like this. I have no problem with Lebron's decision but Cavs fans are obviously upset right now.

    To me, it just personifies the "coward" that Gilbert spoke of... can't face people eye-to-eye.

    Seriously, too many LeBron ******gers around here. LeBron made a shady move and we all know it. Any profanity-laced tirade by fans or demeaning letters by owners is warranted

    Who are you? What is your team? What right do you have to tell Cleveland fans how to act after this kind of debacle?

    Of course we are upset... Of course we are hurt.

    This was devastating and we have a right to be p!ssed.

    Why should they be, they should be glad that Lebron stayed with them for that many years and played for one worst cities/franchises.

    Mo was the least heralded of these moves because it happened in August; however, he had a FABULOUS regular season in Year 1 and back to back playoff bombs. He is a good player.
    Jamison was thought to be the missing piece by almost every NBA analyst, and Ferry "stole" him from Washington. This was applauded by everyone.
    Shaq was a hope...a thought...that didn't work.

    Ferry's hands were tied by LBJ's short contracts and he had no time to build a team. LBJ to blame for this as much as anyone.

    LOL @ posters in this thread criticizing a billionaire on how he handles his business affairs. Get a clue. He is one of the very few people in the world that actually is able to express himself honestly, and you guys are calling him out for it? Most of you just don't get it...

    Rereading this thread, I have to come to the conclusion that 90% of the people who post here are either 14 or post exclusively for the purpose of trolling.

    He faced them ON TV. He didn't have to show up on camera and explain WHY he was leaving the cavs. He could have released a press statement and hid from the cameras. He knew he was going to get backlash, and he went up and answered questions.

    I mean seriously, if he doesn't do a press conference, he would get killed for being a coward and hiding. He goes in front of cameras, and you kill him for being a coward. THERE'S NO WAY TO AVOID THE BACKLASH.
