source?
on LEbrons candy ass. Said he guarantees the Cavs will win a ring before the cHeat and that he's going to do whatever it takes to bring a ring to Cleveland.
Called the "King"...a coward and a fraud who made a mockery of the whole process.
Know he's just angry but I gotta get that transcript. Agree with Queen James being a coward and making a mockery of everyone in the NBA

Crucify em, Gilbert. Send that betraying ass straight to the tree of woe
That's the way the cookie crumbles.
As always-- when a team trades a player, it is accepted as a business decision, but a player is always vilified for making the best choice for himself.
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF- LED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.
The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Cleveland.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....
Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers
That was the best read I've had in a long time....talk about being butt hurt
cHeats, hilarious
Embarrassing for a team owner to do this..pathetic, disgusting..Cleveland will be a top 3 worst team in the league for a long time, while playing in one of the worst cities in the entire world.. Cleveland..
So when does the Heat play in Cleavland???![]()
I think he's trying to boost season ticket sales, lol.

Dan Gilbert is from Michigan.
Was a former minority sponsor of the Detroit Pistons.
What does he know of the agony of Cleveland sports?
Pretty bitter owner. He paid like $400,000,000-$500,000,000 to purchase the Cavs and now it's worth a packet of McDonald's ketchup.
they created that clown
It's hilarious to me that he changed the front of cavs.com to go directly to the letter.
Gilbert should have just been quiet for 48 hours.
This is wrong.
Good rant but the Cavs won't win a championship in the next two decades.
GTFO with that bull . I don't have a dog in the race, but I'm tired of the "LeBron betrayed us" bull . Why does the fact that he's from Ohio have to mean that LeBron is forever chained to Cleveland, no matter how ty that team is? LeBron has stuck by that team for 6 seasons. He's repeatedly heard the team swear up and down that they are trying to put pieces together to win a ring only to be bounced out of the playoffs earlier and earlier each year.
Your time is up, Gilbert. You failed to deliver a championship-caliber team despite repeated bites at the apple. It's not fair to vilify LeBron for going to a team that promises to deliver what you couldn't: A quality surrounding cast.
Agreed.
But... the spectacle of what this became is what created the monster of resentment. I realize some of that was beyond LeBron's control. But not most of it.
That is pathetic from an owner. LBJ did not betray anyone. He left as a free agent to join another team. He is an employee, and he found a better job, just like they would have no problem not resigning him if they found someone better.
