Dan Gilbert Statement

[Matt S]

Skip on Twitter:

All I'll say tonite is, he is who I always said he was: Prince. Robin. Yankee-Cowboy fan who always thought he was doing Cleveland a favor. about 3 hours ago via web

Tomorrow, 10 Eastern, ESPN2: I am going to unload. about 3 hours ago via web

All this time Cleveland was searching for LeBron's Robin... when we should have been searching for Batman.

Chris Bosh is a nappy headed goblin

Words of advice:

If you ever find yourself typing the words "nappy headed" on a forum of angry people, close your computer immediately.

Damn Brenda: "You went from a 18 year old boy to a 25 year old women"

I can't believe this is really real. This is surreal. So many emotions on one man decision. I wonder what is our next move.

Should we tell him?

It's you.

Besides our owner having balls of steal, the only thing that makes me feel better is LeBrons name will be drug through the mud and books will be written about him. He has no legacy and he is done

Hopefully their next move is to get rid of Mo Williams. Maybe he'll take a big pay cut and go play with his good buddy Lebron. After all, he seems really sad that he has left and is surprisingly upbeat considering he was thrown under the bus.

Why are there riots in Oakland, Cali??

Or is there an Oakland, Ohio??

It is based off of the verdict for the killing of Oscar Grant, by an Oakland transit cop, who shot him in the back while handcuffed and laying on stomach which was all captured on video but only was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Hopefully trading his ass.

Not only that, but I posted this earlier:

I think he knew he was going to sign with Miami all along, really. The whole, "I'm going to hear pitches from NY, Cleveland, Chicago, LA, NJ, etc." was nothing more than a ruse. A cover. He probably thought that if he made it look like he was listening to offers from other teams then it would draw attention away from Miami.

I mean, Wade said he was having second thoughts and he might play with Chicago. Bullshit. He always intended on signing with Miami. Bosh hugging up with Dwayne Wade, having cameras follow him, and tweeting pics of him and Wade. He knew the entire time. Why is it that Chris Brousard knew where Lebron was going to signs days upon days ago? Because all of this bullshit was planned in advance. The special on ESPN was designed for him to get maximum exposure. When that special was announced people should have realized he was leaving. This was planned a long time ago. Wade never considered any other team but Miami. He played with a shitty roster last year for a reason---he agreed to it because he knew Riley was clearing cap space for him to play with Bosh and Lebron. It's all in the facts, folks.

They knew they were going to end up in Miami from the very start. It was nothing but a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

Yea, I really think the "loyalty" thing isn't about Cleveland, but about LRMR, his boys, his friends, and that includes Wade, Bosh, Melo, and Paul. He knew he couldn't "be" with them here in Cleveland, and probably didn't want to. I really believe the Olympics story. They planned to create an environment wherein the team that cleared enough cap space would garner the three of them. The teams in the know, Chicago, New Jersey, New York, and Miami, tanked -- they tanked! Not for John fucking Wall, but because they were told to -- by who? Probably Maverick Carter. But in Miami, Wade probably reinforced the idea to Riley and that was enough.

LeBron is to Cleveland what a Self-Hating Negro is to African-Americans.

“July 1, 2010 is going to be a very, very big day,”

Shit was planned a long time ago.

OMG I now love Reghi. On LeBron's quote of how when he entered the league he was a 18 year old boy and now he is a man. Reghi said that now turned into a little girl.

I cant sleep. Im eating ice cream. Im mentally shook right now.

 

[El Martillo]

I can't wait for the first of Dwight Howard's elbows to crunch Rupaul Bosh's glass jaw, sending Ms Bosh home for weeks.

LeFraud will stay comfortably away from the fracas on the sidelines joking with a fan while his teammate gets hammered.

And how's he and Duhwayne going to enjoy playing 45 minutes a game with that stellar league minimum bench?

Karma Train's heading straight for you LeBitch. Stay humble, my friend.

After game 6, The Cavs started asking for my payment for 2010-11 season tickets. I told my account rep, and 3 other people for the Cavs "They quit playing, I quit paying." I love the Cavs, my family has had season tickets dating back to the late 70's, I have 2 Cavs tattoos but what I saw in game 5, and 6 made me believe for the first time that I cared more then the team.

Long story short, they kept my first payment, but I refused to pay the rest.

That being said...I am calling tomorrow and setting up payment for the rest of the season because of Dan Gilbert.

 

[staycoolbruh]

The only thing, and I mean the only thing I disagree with is.... If he knew somewhere else was the destination. He should have spared cle

Mo williams

Only thing? You don't think Cavs are a championship caliber team? with a great Front office?

LOL... semi-defending Art Modell on WKNR in comparison to LeBron.
