Cavs: Could the racially charged comments originated from Dan Gilbert?

Nearly six months have passed since Deng hung up the phone after accepting Ferry's apology for racially charged comments recorded during a front-office conference call in July about free agents. Claiming to have read directly from notes prepared by another team, later reported to be evaluations gathered from Deng's former teams in Cleveland and Chicago, Ferry told other Hawks executives Deng had "some African in him" and tended to be untrustworthy.

...

A small survey of general managers and league executives believe the private criticism of Deng from the reports Ferry received were largely the product of friction that accompanied his Chicago departure and the dysfunction on some levels that existed in Cleveland last season.

Pretty consistent with the pettiness of Gilbert. I can see those notes being written in Comics Sans.

Deng does have that banana boat departure look.

lol

"9 of of 10 women are sexist"... Isn't that in itself a sexist remark?

It's weird as how much Ferry got, and no one seemed to care who actually made the original statement.

fair point.

Probably was Gilbert but its cir stantial and probably getting snitched on now because his team is actually good again.

That letter he wrote about Lebron was trash. Blame a player for leaving in free agent like he owes you something.
