Dan Gilbert Statement

[Cbusdawg27]

It is time to send Goldhammer out of this town with LeQuit.

Do you guys think this could be a possibility? if there is indeed evidence of tampering could Stern block him from signing with Miami etc.?

Depends on the evidence. If it's indisputable, maybe. Stern will like the buzz this trio will create (well, have created), and I'm just not sure he'll step in and do the right thing. With the SEA/OKC debacle he revealed that it's all about money to him, and he may take the most profitable side here as well. If the evidence is indisputable, though, he may not have a choice but to block it.

Even if he doesn't have evidence of tampering...I hope he has something and takes LeBron down. Whether it's blocking the trade, ruining his image, something else...or a combination of a bunch of things...I want to see it happen.

Who is starting the fund for the Dan Gilbert banner? I'm ready to pitch in.

Finally, an owner who is not going to get walked all over and just take it. This was completely unprofessional, but I love it.

An owner that cares? I guess it is possible in Cleveland.

End of the day, I want Gilbert to expose the hell out eBon.

Gerst, we get it, make it your avatar or something.

Does Goldhammer have any clue what it's like to be a Cleveland fan? I think some of us believe Gilbert didn't go far enough.

Anyone else want to assist me with a spike piledriver to this Goldhammer jackass?

If Gilbert has evidence that Lebron,Wade and Bosh all tampered this season to set things in motion to FA, then let it fly and demand the NBA throw all 3 bums from the league and start anew with the CBA.

Pro-sports needs to be cleaned up and starting with the biggest slimeball, NBA, would be great. Then move on to MLB.

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.

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

oh wait no i dont

CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert says LeBron James "quit" during the playoffs and should be accountable for his actions.


Cavs reaction

Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert gave his reaction to LeBron James leaving in an open letter to fans on the Cavs website. Letter

Gilbert, who posted a letter to Cavs fans on the team's website shortly after James announced he plans to sign with Miami, tells The Associated Press late Thursday night that he feels "personally betrayed" by James and that it's "accountability time."

In a phone interview with the AP, Gilbert says "people have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is."

Gilbert says James quit on the Cavs during their second-round series against the Boston Celtics, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to eliminate Cleveland.

Hard cap. Franchise player tag and maybe a death to the current way FA works.

like always, they'll change the rules after it's too late for us

They changed the 2nd year draft pick bird rights rules after Boozer left
They changed the replay to check last minute out of bounds calls after it cost us the Magic series
Now they'll change franchise free agent rules after LeBron left
