Is Dan Gilbert legit retarded?


I'm starting to believe he personally just likes to make things more difficult for himself. He is so lucky Lebron was born in Ohio.

Dan Gilbert is forever going to be known as the guy that lost Lebron James. Twice.

Same as I felt when I hoped he'd leave CLE the 1st time, and the same as I felt when I hoped he'd go back to CLE the 2nd time...I love the big story.

It's a much better story to follow for the NBA if he leaves for LAL then if he stays with CLE.


Basically, i want chaos.

If true, you know he's talked with LeBron.

Zero truth to report that #Cavs players telling #Bulls' Jimmy Butler to stay away, says team source. "Absolute fabrication."


I trust Amico. Guy is pretty plugged in.

That's where I lean too. But you know he's had a private convo with LeBron and the "team source" is not going to be privy to that discussion.

Jimmy Butler is the Willie Beaman of the NBA.

It really is amazing. It is mostly to do with his ego. He also got Lebron back in spite of himself.

Of course. I just don't get LeBron's mindset if that's the case, which is why I don't believe it. Assuming they get Butler and Love is part of the trade, that team is immediately better in terms of competing with GS.

It would be pretty fricking petty if LeBron is telling any big names to stay away because he already knows he's leaving due to his hatred of Gilbert.

Lol

The only reason Kyrie and Love are there in the first place is because of LeBron

I can see this, but what advantage does he get by going there... not nearly the talent that Cleveland has.... even if the Lakers land George.

Not only petty but just stupid for personal reasons. Lebron isn't going to just try and piss away next season even if he is leaving.

Dan Gilbert is a douche bag! If the stars leave, the Cavs fans shouldn't blame the stars, but rather blame the d-bag names Dan Gilbert!

So you agree it would be a petty move.

And the Love argument is dumb. Even if they keep Wiggins, that team wins it all last season. Love was terrible in the Finals last year.

No..I disagree.

Bron should give his honest opinion about where he stands with the Cavs.

He's too smart to ever say "don't come here"

If they talked which of course I'm still doubting, I bet Bron kept it pretty vague
