youre crazy
so lebron signed with the cavs, knowing blatt was the head coach . But lebron never gave blatt a chance, and wanted him gone immediately? to the point where lebron has intentionally faked an injured for the last 11 weeks, because thats how much he hates blatt.
When did I say he faked an injury? I believe he's actually injured...just not to the extent that he has to miss the next 2 weeks.
Also, why would Blatt being here deter LeBron from coming? That doesn't make much sense. Players pick where they want to play largely because of money offered and the personnel on the team. LeBron knew that if he came back he'd get things his way so I doubt the hire of coach Blatt would've deterred him from coming back especially since he was aching to come home anyway. He signed a two year deal with an opt out after the 1st year...he knew he'd essentially get to call the shots in terms of what he wanted because he has the leverage that, that contract created.
Furthermore, when you think about it LeBron really hasn't respected Blatt since he came back. Even after Bron came back it took him an entire month to even meet with Blatt face to face. I know LeBron had a busy summer but come on....he couldn't make room in his schedule to meet with the man who would be his head coach for the next "X" years? I really don't think Blatt has or had LeBron's respect or allegiance from Day 1 and that's evidenced by the aforementioned reasons along with the lukewarm (AT BEST) "endorsements" that LeBron's given him through the media. LeBron has been disrespecting Blatt through the media all season (remember when he said he didn't need to ask in terms of playing with the ball in his hands more? Or even when he dismissed Blatt's pep talks as a potential reason for the team playing better?).
I'm not pulling this out of thin air. We've heard from other sources (both on this board and from the national media) that LeBron wasn't a big fan of Blatt and he wasn't particularly enthralled with having him as his head coach. I'm just making connections based on what I know about the situation. LeBron one day says that the all the tests came back negative and then the next day we find out he's out for 2 weeks....the fuck? That makes no sense...
Bron hasn't liked Blatt from Day 1 and sitting out the next two weeks when our schedule just happens to be extremely tough and we're already sliding is a great way to put pressure on a rookie coach and get his wish; Dan Gilbert is our owner and is known for not being a man of patience and for making rash, impulsive decisions. It's not unreasonable to think that a stretch of losses here could push Gilbert over the edge and make him make a change.
If Blatt is fired sometime soon, the media will paint it as "Cavs meddling owner fires 3rd coach in 3 seasons" as opposed to "LeBron gets rookie coach fired"....LeBron would no doubt prefer the former as it would save him from the lashing the media has been giving him over the past several weeks.
I feel like I'm going crazy by actually believing this to be the case but there are so many signs that seem to support this. I guess time will tell.
