Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention LeBron

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

To be real about it, Mickey Arison gives as much of a fuck about Lebron as Dan Gilbert. Only difference is, the Israeli is making the big bucks off of him now.

Let Lebron come out next week and say, 'I've won a ring, and now I'd like to be traded to LA so I can really get my endorsement game on!'

Mickey would turn into Dan Gilbert in 0.003 seconds after hearing that.

Not really

Mickey got a chip in 06

The heat are more value than the cavs even if they are the shittiest team in the league

Gilbert's cavs went from being worth over 300 mill to just under 100 when Lebron left

Maybe he wouldn't be AS salty...

...but most of these owners aren't basketball fans; they're in it purely to make money.

I love Wade and Bosh, but losing Lebron would mean a major hit to his pockets, and I'm fairly certain he's not interested in that.

Now that Lebron has won a ring, who knows how much more marketable he'll become.

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

Why would Dan congratulate Lebron when he single handedly ruined his life and franchise?

This what I don't understand. Free agency mean he can play for who he wants right? Did'nt know that nigga was a slave to Cleveland. Wit fans like yall I can see why dat nigga jetted. Problem is nobody wants to come to that shitty ass city to play in the first place. Yall should be worshippin the ground dat nigga walk on for stayin in that dusty mufucka for 7 years while the best help yall could get the man was fuckin Verajow. One day yall love the nigga then the next yall dumbasses is burnin jerseys yall paid 3 weeks salary for. Dumbest shit I ever seen in my life.

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

White folks will always hate on the black man....

I hated on LeBron but that is due to him being a Miami Heat....

I d hate on anyone who is a Knick Rival.

^agreed.

But I HAD to cheer this dude on...

it was killing me

the CACs using this to say nigga on the DL...

and black folks dumb enough to co-sign...

if you Cleveland I completely understand, but still..

letting white boys burn his jersey

ya'll should have checked THAT at least..

and it gives you a national loser mentality.

Which isnt fair...

Yankee fans dont do that shit or Laker fans or Cowboy fans or Green Bay even after Farve.

The inability to move on or recognize greatness & success...

Notice how the past weeks leading up the press was defending Lebron and taking subtle shots at Cleveland...

WATCH how they will start ATTACKING Cleveland and calling all the haters bitter and stupid...

puppets.

And then direct the venom to D. Howard and Mello, etc.

Co sign

Watching these clowns nighas hate on Bron after leaving Cleveland made me defend him 100%

And I was prob dudes biggest critic when he was in Cleveland doing immature bullshit like dancing on the side lines during games, throw towels at ball boys etc

That was my biggest issue with dude his immaturity. His game spoke for itself

But once he left Cleveland and these coonass niggas siding with these cacs that was some bullshit then to top it off these same bitch niggas talking about how bron ain't clutch, how bron this and that.

Now you got the same faggits wanting to give him props now foh

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

He's still hurting inside. I expect him to take that bitterness to the grave.

Funny thing was that LeBron said that after it was all said an done he wanted to go back and retire a Cav. I wonder if dude would allow that?

That being said, everyone that is saying that he didn't give him what he needed to win in Cleveland should understand that all moves done by management LeBron approved. Him winning in Miami is a result of worrying about what he can control on the court and not playing GM.

Not really

Wasn't there an article on how LeBron's leaving killed Cleveland sparked an exodus from other players and killed a lot of businesses in the town? LeBron MADE Cleveland in more way than one.

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

Fuck that cac ..... but you won't understand unless you from cleveland
The way he dipped on the cavs was foul after not winning anything since the 1948 Indians ...... we knew we was going to get one with bron but he left like a bitch flat out ..,,,.he fucked up his legacy......... if any star
Left his franchise the the way he did you would be pissed...don't front ..if Kd was like fuck it I'm going to the Lakers you wouldn't hate that ninja Okc fans?....
If he win 10 rings in Mia it won't mean as much as 1 in Cleveland.
Real talk

But he got his ring. So fuck him

The only thing that fucked is this post. Lebron was a Free Agent when he left Cleveland. He had every right to do that and get himself a better chance at a ring. Cleavland fans need to accept this.

In my opinion, the only thing LeBron did wrong was that whole "The Decision" show he did. You don't do a 60 minute show about your decision on FA. Hell, Jordan didn't even do any bull shit like that.

Anyway, congrats to Lebron for his first chip.

Cleveland, OHIO....Ya'll MUST BE MAD AS FUCK!!!!

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

Come on now you guys expected Dan Gilbert to say congrats to Lebron. When Lebron left Dan was pissed off and had a grudge.

Did you guys forget who along with Jordan and Paul help lead the lockout to make sure it would be near impossible for this to happen ever again. (3 players join up in free agency)

The rules put in a CBA and if you do put together a star team you will be paying penalties out of the ass.

Hell who was the guy who wrote a letter to the commissioner when he found out Chris Paul was traded to Lakers and they had the chance to land Dwight Howard.

hoopshype posted the tweets of Cleveland writers, players and fans on their site last night.

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

This is a business. He needs to grow up.
If he were looking to trade LeBron, they wouldn't have expected LeBron to act this way. Fuck outta here.

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

He looks even more stupid and saltier bc what kind of organization congrats their competition at all? Just acknowledge it with a head nod and keep it moving. If Kyrie ball skills are as good as his commercials you will be ok.

Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention LeBron

Published: Friday, June 22, 2012, 12:10 AM Updated: Friday, June 22, 2012, 12:51 AM

By Mary Schmitt Boyer, The Plain Dealer

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It took about five minutes for Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert to acknowledge the Miami Heat's NBA championship on Twitter Thursday night. But he still refused to mention LeBron James by name.

Sometime after the final buzzer sounded but before the championship trophy was presented to the Heat and the Finals MVP went to James, Gilbert tweeted, "Great NBA season. Enjoyed playoffs. Congratulations to Miami & OKC for an exciting Finals. Back to work on next weeks promising Cavs draft.''

Gilbert, of course, attacked James after the Akron native and St. Vincent St. Mary graduate bolted from Cleveland to Miami in 2010.

In part of his infamous letter -- in comic sans type -- to Cavaliers fans after The Decision aired on ESPN on July 8, 2010, Gilbert used capital letters to emphasize, "I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE. You can take it to the bank.''

But the Cavs, winners of just a total of 40 games in the two seasons since James left, haven't been able to cash Gilbert's check yet.


He is getting ROASTED on Twitter..

Why should he congratulate him? That's silly.

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

LOL@ Cavs writers saying Kobe and MJ did more with less...Show me one Bulls or Lakers championship team that this Heat team is better than as a whole? Our 91-93 and 96-98 Dynasties would kill this team...Pippen isn't KD he can stand up to Lebron on defense...and Wade can't guard MJ....And those Laker teams...... Shaq...enough said.

Re: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention Le

He should congratulate him because that's what adults do. Look how Shaq and Barkley were able to man up on NBATV and give props to Wade (and lesser extent Lebron) even though they were funking before.

I don't even think he cared about his legacy more than chilling on south beach and winning championships with his boys. Straight up. Ninjas in Cleveland are talking about Legacy..this ninja is like F it. I'm having fun and I won a championship and I'm in Miami.

And still on that how he left bullshit. No that's the excuse to hate and burn jerseys. How he left how had no bearing on the cavs losing 100 million in value and the entire city economy going down during the NBA season. It's that he left. Period. Cleveland has the Indians, Browns and Cavs. Damn shame. Should have hired a better GM.

From a business standpoint that nigga WAS the Cleveland economy.
