    Where is he at?

    Someone needs to interview this man. How does he feel? This would be great.

    Who gives a shit. He had the best player in the world on his team and refused to spend the $ to get him quality help. Him and the city of Cleveland made millions and millions of dollars off of Lebron and then threw a tantrum when he left.

    Cleveland messed up a lot of opportunities, but they weren't cheap with $. To be fair to Cleveland.

    Exactly.



    Lebron didn't owe Cleveland anything. He played out his contract, left for a team where he would make more money, play with his best friend, and have a better chance at a championship. Everything he did is now validated.


    Yeah, he made a spectacle of things by the decision and "not 4, not 5..." but he did nothing wrong.



    Oh, and he wasn't Cleveland's native son. The dude was from Akron, Ohio, an hour south of Cleveland, and growing up he couldn't stand Cleveland because all of the kids from Cleveland would pick on Akron kids, calling them dirtballs and what not.



    Good for Lebron. Good for Bosh. Good for D-Wade. Good for Miami. I'm glad all of this nonsense finally ends! Longest 2 damn years of my life!

    This is untrue. They spent a lot of money and overspent being in the luxary tax if I'm not mistaken. The problem is they couldn't bring their plan A options in, they had to go to plan B a lot. The biggest mistake was signing Larry Hughes and overpaying him. He just came off a career year with the Wizards and the Cavaliers took too much hype in that. I think things would've worked out better if Antwan Jamison played up to par when he came, but he totally sucked.

    He doesn't really need to, teh championship speaks for itself. He wouldn't let go of the trophy. When they were center court he hugged the son-a-bitch the whole time. Then they showed them in the locker room with Bosh basically facializing himself with champagne and LeBron still was hugging that son-a-bitch.

    The guy is a billionaire. Im sure he will be able to sleep at night. Not sure why Gilbert gets bashed for the Cavs not putting a team around Lebron. Sure, he should get his balls busted for that drunken open letter he wrote, but Cavs front-office were the ones that blew it.

    I believe he's talking about Dan Gilbert, not LeBron.
