Do I think any players are going to not come here because Dan wrote a letter three or four years ago? I don’t think so


That quote will end up as the greatest cautionary tale of pro sports owners ever.

The more I think back at junior at the lottery that year, the more I think "frick Dan Gilbert".

If this falls apart because of that letter its going to be bad for Lebron and for Gilbert.

Even if thats the reason he wont come back, why even put this out there? Just say it was for basketball reasons. Everyone would understand. Now he looks like he lead the city on and then got petty and let his ego take over.

For Gilbert, the only way to keep this cities trust is to figure out a way to make this happen. People are going to hate him forever if it looks like its his fault he isnt coming back.

The fact that neither side had had a press conference by now is pretty ridiculous
if Lebron hasn't decided, what would the press conference be for?

That's why I said Bron's PR did him dirty again if this the excuse. Just say he likes the talent options better in Miami and move on. It's not like the letter just popped up.

Then again, only Broussard is reporting the letter as an issue. Where's our favorite buffet destroyer Windhorst?

Yea, someone posted that CLE may be leaking this to put pressure on Lebron, but no chance of that for this reason. If Lebron doesn't go to CLE for whatever reason, it ends up looking like it's because of the letter and Gilbert comes out looking real bad.

Hes been pretty silent for the last day or so. My guess would be the buffet at the Mirage. He loves the way they do their waffles.

dispel rampant rumors. lebron doesn't even need to be there. shite, doesn't even need to be a presser. just issue a statement that dispels any inaccuracies that have been out there.

you'll reply with "how is that his fault?"

it isn't. but it comes with the territory, and that's why you have a full team of people working for you. make them earn some money.

people don't understand that nor will they ever.

I've come to accept it's a lost cause.
