Dan Gilbert

[Lee]

But Windy said he's a meddling owner!!! We can't appreciate him!!

Laker fans: And we would of gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that meddling owner.

Actually 3, he owns Horseshoe Cincinnati as well.

2 Racinos on top of that.

Ive said it before, but the Casinos are what make all of this possible. The profit they bring in is ridiculous, and he is literally moving it all into the luxury tax.

We truly are lucky.

 

[Kris032]

Yup, ever since the start, he's not the one to back off in terms of spending.

PS: i do hope he will break the bank as soon as AD became available.

Also about the CP3 trade that no one remembers is that LA was shedding cap even after acquiring Paul, not giving up any young talent, or picks, and thats why Gilbert got pissed.

And what LA fans also seem to forget is that after that failed trade they were able to bring in Dwight Howard & Steve Nash....and it still didnt fucking work.

Oh & what they also seem to forget is that 5 of their rings came from Minneapolis. F**k LA.

It will be funny to see our books clear the season he is a free agent. Should we start the 2020 safari?!?!

I love Gilbert, but lets put into perspective. We gave him 2 casinos, the only 2 in all of NE Ohio. He is reinvesting the money NE Ohio gave him back into the Cavs.

He isn't running a charity or anything. But glad he is doing the right thing and reinvesting the money back into NE Ohio.

Besides the point of the thread, but he doesn't own the Rocksino in Northfield. They are a big competitor to the Horseshoe.

Horshoe's two location is what I am referring too.

While profitable, The rocksino ist a full casino, its like calling the Sac Kings a NBA team.

James is forcing his hand to make Gilbert spend all this money as pay back for "The Letter". James is the puppet master and Gilbert has strings tied to his appendages and wallet.

despite James and Dan already moving past it. It's really a shame.

These statements don't really flow together .

I've seen this a few times now on this board and it is ridiculous. James isn't 'getting back at gilbert'. he would have never came back of head trying to get back at Dan. LeBron is making Dan a lot of dough. He isn't just trying to get his friends paid. He found a partner who cares about winning as much as he does and more than the heat did. Every move we have made we would have been worse off not making. Don't want to overpay TT? Tough. We can't replace him. We are in cap hell, and nothing will change that. Signing TT makes us better than any other move we can do, no matter the price. Same with Love, same with Shump. LeBron isn't some evil being punishing Gilbert. That is insane. He is someone who wants to win, and found someone who wants to win just as badly with the checkbook to make it a reality

 

[Kizzle]

The decision was fucked up

The letter was fucked up


They kissed and made up. Even if LeBron did want to get back at Gilbert I'm sure that helping him build a possible dynasty isn't the way he'd do it. What would've been the way to do it is to come back, make us trade Wiggins, bring Love here, and then leave for LA. Bringing Love with him. And I'm sure he could've influenced Kyrie to not extend

 

[Danny DiVito]

Nothing but love for Dan. He's our angel.

 

[K1rieIrving>AllOtherPG's]

Dan the man!!!!

I hope you don't belive those were my thoughts? I put that narrative out there as that what I have heard spewed on sports talk shows within hours of Love's re up yesterday.

If and when the Cavs bring home a title I think the players and fans should all chip in to erect a Dan Gilbert statue in front of the Q, because Gilbert would never do such a thing himself.

 

[Coyote850]

Simply put, we are blessed to have an owner that wants to win So. Freakin. Badly.

You Da Man, Dan!
Please always remember, you can't take it with you.
