Forget about the fact Dan Gilbert is an owner, and yes, he could have toned the letter down a bit. SO the Fuck what? How can you be a true Cavs fan who knows damn well that letter was the absolute truth, and are now trying to criticize Gilbert when it's very clear this is Dan Gilbert the fan speaking for ALL FANS??
This moron and idiot and guy who thinks the world revolves around him actually CALLED ESPN to set up this spectacle for the sole purpose of making sure millions of people watched HIMSELF DUMP his home town, northeast ohio, the State of Ohio, and every Cavalier fan from coast to coast.
He claims he gave his ALL for seven years and did a lot for his home town. BULLSHIT. He's the biggest hypocrite and loser I have ever known about in Professional Sports. History will judge him for what he is.... a LOSER who wanted a title handed to him as he was not Man enough to actually work and earn one.

No. This is not about LeBron (Not directly, its about how Gilbert is handling this) and you CANNOT forget the fact that Dan Gilbert is the owner. A sports writer could have wrote this letter and I would be 100% behind it.
The fact that the owner of this franchise and the fact that most players in the NBA will look at this as a total dick move is exactly why he shouldn't have wrote it.
Its not that I dont agree with the content of his letter, its who wrote it.
Dan Gilbert is my hero forever. That said:
There is a bunch we do not know. Just one small example; Dan says he was betrayed. That tells me LeBron probably gave him BIG clues he was staying. It tells me LeBron probably relayed information to the Cavs that he loved Byron Scott as a coach and we should go get him. The Gilbert letter tells me a lot. More stuff we will find out. Other stuff we will never find out.
One thing I know for sure now thinking back on ALL things that have happened. Bosh, Wade, and James had this planned for a very long time. I now believe they all knew this way before Wade and Bosh trekked to Chicago with the silly meetings with the Bulls. The entire FA period was nothing but a huge circus put on by LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh.
The nail in the coffin is the fact James KNEW what his decision was going to be BEFORE they decided to contact ESPN.
Any bets on Shaq coming out with a few choice comments now?

To the above poster, I did write a post about my stating if I was wrong, I would quit posting in Cavs talk. I'm a Cavs fan first and foremost and always have been a Cavs fan. James was a player on the team I love. He screwed the team, the fans, ALL of Ohio.
Would anyone mind giving a sum-up of Rizzo from this morning? I'm at work. Thanks!
Go Cavs, and damn, my life hurts!!
