Weak sauce.

 

With Curry and Lee, the Warriors will be an easy team to cheer for next year.
Lee might be one of the top five fantasy basketball players next season.

 

By far, the best thing I've read on this whole fiasco. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

 

26.0 rating in Cleveland.

But nobody in Cleveland is worked up about this like the rest of the country.

That's an outstanding take on all this.

He's right that we should've known this was coming the moment we learned he was a Yankee and Cowboy fan instead of Indians and Browns. That's pure frontrunner stuff, and the obvious frontrunner move here was fleeing to South Beach where D-Wade and Bosh give him the easy road to rings.

 

Agreed, except I think it might be better named "The Guarantee". That's the part everyone will remember on that June date when Lebron is hoisting a trophy in Miami as the Cavs are reeling from their 18-64 season.

 

Funny - In Riles book - The Winner Within he talks about the negative impact " the disease of me" can have on a team.

 

Except that the same columnist wrote just a couple days prior about how clear it was that LeBron was going to stay home because his heart is in Cleveland, etc., etc., etc.

 

Don't think Cavs fans will care. They've watched the Indians owners trade away two Cy Young winners. They've watched the Browns be a joke of an organization since they've returned. They've watched Gilbert spend, and spend and spend to try to get a title these past few years. And they're going to be upset that his prediction in a letter that pretty much voiced a lot of the same emotions they were feeling turned out to be wrong?

 

This was not just knocked out of the park, this was Mickey Mantled out of the park.

Great job calling out Gilbert for being a less than innocent pawn in this chess game. Actually, chess takes thought. This was more like a game of checkers.

 

Maybe the Cavs should deal Delonte West to the Heat for a second round pick and agree to throw in $10 mil to cover Delonte's salary or help pay some of it.

You know, Delonte is a real mother fucker.
