My emotions are running so high right now.

Oh really? I just edited my LeBron jersey using printer paper and glue. The name on the back is definitely more fitting.
 
I'll tell you one thing, Dan Gilbert is one hell of a businessman, and there's a reason he's made the kind of money that he's made.

The smartest thing that he can do right now is galvanize all the Cavaliers fans, and right now, most of them are rallying around everything that he's saying.

His attacks on LeBron are exactly what the fans want to hear right now, and he's definitely nowhere near being done with his offensive on LeBron.

He doesn't want just Cavaliers fans to hate LeBron, he wants everyone outside of the city of Miami to hate him, and it just might be working.

Props to Gilbert for everything he's done since The Announcement.

Beasley trade now being considered a cap dump to give LeBron more money...? So much for taking less money to win. You selfish, greedy bastard. How many times must you lie before it bites you in the ass.

Unbelievable. The Miami Heat will have actually whittled their roster down to just Mario Chalmers in the short time between the Beasley trade and Wade,Bosh, and James signing a contract. That's one player under contract.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that will give the Heat enough cap room to sign all three to max deals.

Cap of 58,044,000 - 854,389 = 57,189,611

Divided three ways that comes out to 19mil and change which is more than a max contract.

now that i think about it I can see how having your former owner call you a quitter is playing into your hands :confused::confused:

If you're a player, would you want to play for an owner who accused his former MVP of "quitting" and calling him things like "narcissistic" in an online letter? It makes him look bad. Yeah, Cuban get super involved, but this goes beyond anything he's ever done and he's one of the most hated owners in the league as a result.
 
wait, so this means gilbert is promising we'll win a championship this nba season, can't imagine anyone else besides the heat winning it right now

You need cap holds for the vet min for a roster up to 13. So they have 12 cap holds for the vet min per the CBA.

And what in the hell is Gilbert doing? You don't kiss a guy's ass for seven years and then go apeshit on him through the media and a letter. It just seems a bit hypocritical to me.

Lebron is a dick, but Gilbert is playing into his hands.

There's certian things that people sweep under the rug for the sake of the greater good. Gilbert knew his best chance to win a title with Lebron. He gave his buddy a fucking once in a lifetime job. Gilbert Made concessions to Lebron and his camp. He did all of that in good faith. To have all of that thrown back in your face is so disrespectful. It sounds like the FO organization bought into the "family" idea. Ever had a family member fuck you over?? I can imagine that is how and why Gilbert feels like he does.
