How stupid an owner is Dan Gilbert?
Posted by YStar on 7/1/18 at 6:54 am1115
He had David Griffin an experienced (one of the best in the business) GM, who pretty much closed the insane three team deal where they would trade Love an get Paul George...
Yet he Gilbert refuse to renew Griffin, kills the PG13 deal because he is scared PG13 will lure Lebron to LA and didn't think he would stay because he was a rental.
Now one year later, Paul George the supposed rental is about to signa four year contract with OKC, Love still is an average player losing value and the Cavs just blew another chance at winning a title with prime Lebron.
Dan Gilbert should stick to loans and financing and leaving professional sports alone.
What a shitty owner!

Gilbert letting Griffin go didn’t kill the Paul George deal. It was killed by Indiana’s GM after initial agreement.
Calling Love average

It’s mostly on LeBron. He controlled the decision making

Did you not realize this after Lebron's first stint in Cle?
You have a guy out of HS who clearly will end up being a top 10 player of all time and you give minimal effort in trying to win championships.

All Lebron did was ask for Tristan, Love and JR to get paid.
It was stupid but you defend your teammates, it's up to management to move with intelligence and make the right decisions.
* Lebron did not want Kyrie to be traded.
* Lebron did not ask to pick up George Hill's horrible contract.
All of those decisions were done by Dan Gilbert who likes to pass blame instead of taking responsibility.
The reality is Griffin set up the trade of PG for the average Kevin Love; yet Gilbert was too stupid to take it. He was too scared thinking PG would be a rental and leave with Lebron.
PG ended up not being a rental. Cavs couldn't win shite with prime Lebron. If Lebron leaves Cavs still have a bloated roster and the franchise value drops by more than half.
Fortune favors the brave and Dan Gilbert is a pussy when it comes to sports management.

I can't wait till James goes to the Lakers and finds out that he can't do what he wants anymore, plus he becomes the bad guy again (ala Miami). All those years he trashed Gilbert, but couldn't wait to get back to Cleveland where he had total freedom and everybody loved him. Plus he is old now and is due for some serious injuries to start holding him back. It's going to be awesome watching this blow up in the Laker's faces..

Average is probably a bit harsh, but the current version of Love in the Cavs system is far from some elite player.

I don't care what Love is doing in the regular season when I know his production will drop considerably in the post-season.

Yeah man. Love is an average player.

We are going to ignore that two of those players are represented by James' agency firm? They were both horribly overpaid, and in the end they cave were forced to bid against themselves...

Kyrie wanted to be traded though. Apparently he wasn't crazy about playing with a certain guy. Probably Love...

No argument here.

You mean the guy who brought a championship to Cleveland?

I have to agree with this.
Any players going to tell you what they want if you ask them. Doesn't mean they have to do exactly what he says. He's not a GM, he's a player. He wasn't telling Pat Riley what to do was he?
Cavs don't have a strong organization if they have to do exactly what their best player wants.

True but it’s also a testament to how shitty an owner he is that they only have 1 championship to show for it.
He has the #1/2 player of all time, two other #1 picks and in that time has 1 championship.

All of this. Dan Gilbert was content with just having an all-time great player and the publicity that comes with that. Dan was not prepared for the pressures of winning a championship.
