I'm honestly not sure where this CB-LbJ connection originated

I've never heard of anyone defending Gilbert but I don't live in Ohio

When LeBron leaves, they'll never get another free agent - ever. Nobody wants to work for that douche.
He's a horrible, horrible owner. That much is clear at this point.

LeBron had stated--repeatedly--he wanted Griffin to get an extension. So why would Billups be the guy LeBron wanted, unless you mean "besides Griffin."
well when Gilbert fired Griffin three weeks ago the discussion automatically becomes a "besides Griffin" scenario right? So my assumption is CB is LBJ's guy and Gilbert squashed the LBJ power move with a shitty offer. Why would Gilbert make a shitty offer to his own GM choice?

I honestly don't think LBJ wants CB either fwiw
Unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise

Yes, you can only be someone who changes their hate for whatever team he is playing for

Wouldn't the 1st part show that Gilbert is doing his own thing entirely with no input from LeBron? I don't think the lowball discredits this because this is just what Gilbert does with GMs, every single time.

He hasn't paid any GM since he's been the owner. He also hasn't extended any of them past their original contract. He obviously doesn't have respect for the position.

Well I don't remember, but if that's true, it sounds like a bad offer. I don't know what Gilbert is doing.
According to sources, the team's initial offer was $1.5 million. League sources told ESPN that $4 million is typically the starting point of what an individual in that role should earn.

someone is leaking all of this to the media.
who else has power in cleveland besides Gilbert and Lebron? Do you think Gilbert is leaking this himself? LBJ's camp? or Do you think CB is leaking this?

Lost Griffin over money, turned around and lost Billups over money too.

well yeah but it seems there is some sort of purpose to these leaks. the instant CB was a candidate it leaked out, then he turns it down and the leaks come flooding out.
Original offer terms, initial rejection, counter-offer terms, final rejection

Easier to judge other fans when your team has won 5 championships in the past 20 years.
It's a lot harder to stay committed to a team when all they give you is futility and incompetence.
