Sons just heard the message from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert...HE WENT OFF

[himat]

I would laugh my ass off if Cleveland won before the Heat did!

[picc84]

Cleveland is like the prison lifer with nothing to lose. Might see somebody just run up on Bron and shank the out of him when he comes to Ohio.

[redzero]

lol butthurt Cleveland s

I am loling at them trying to spin this . Nobody wants to play for the Cavs. Nobody cares about the Cavs. They won't make the playoffs.

[redzero]

lol double post

[Medvedenko]

Wow, epic butthurt from an owner no less.

[myhc]

totally and utterly classless, unprofessional, and shortsighted.

[Sigz]

A Cavs fans regarding the announcement tonight:

You could have just tweeted it. Jerk.

[baseline bum]

LMAO @ ESPN saying Gilbert put the whine in the wine & gold.

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.

Its not that he went to another team through free agency. It's the spectacle he made doing it. Where ever have you seen so much hoopla and BS over a self led CHOOSEN 1 and King who has won....

the same as the Suns!

I guess Dan Gilbert never took to heart John Wooden's advice: "Emotion is your enemy."

[Amarelooms]

Yeah dummy it's not that he left....it's HOW HE LEFT....totally unprofessional and uncalled for

[DazedAndConfused]

The only thing I agree with Gilbert on is the whole media spectacle Lebron put on to announce his "decision". That was pathetic, self-serving, and embarrassing for the NBA IMHO.

[JamStone]

Dan Gilbert will regret writing that and for putting it on the front of the site.

But I agree with JVG that LeBron could have given him the courtesy of telling him before he announced it on his special. LeBron didn't owe it to every team, but probably to the Cavs and Cavs ownership.

[DesignatedT]

Lol at Gilbert. yes.

[MannyIsGod]

I wonder if besides the spectacle if he actually committed to them then changed his mind. Can't believe he did that on TV though. Jesus.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron's " The Decision" apparently made approximately 2.5 million $ for the Boys & Girls Club..but ya, let's hate on him for that..

Helping kids >>> embarrassing a ty city and franchise that will be out of the NBA within the next 5 years..

[baseline bum]

LeBron should have handled his leaving with more class. And @ Gilbert finding a way to look like even more of an ass than James.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

lmao dan gilbert promises championship with Keyshia Cole boyfriend, Mo Williams, Anderson Varejao, and Lebron Mama boyfriend

[mytespurs]

I'm hoping that was a hoax because if not, Gilbert comes off as a complete moron!
He needs to be professional-how embarrassing for the organization as well as the league.

And the spectacle affected Cleveland how?

[angelbelow]

wow how classy

That is total bull . This was an LBJ self serving showcase and the charity bit was just a media ploy. How about he handles it more professionally and donates out ofhis own pockets to the Boys club.

Anybody that cannot see through the whole charity aspect of this circus is a idiot.
