Go check out the Cavs owner's open letter to fans

ProfaneReality · 07-08-10, 10:24 PM

comes off bitter and immature, but this guy has every right to act that way, he bent over backwards for lebron and his posse for 7 years

biggie12 · 07-08-10, 10:26 PM

nice read

OverUnder · 07-08-10, 10:27 PM

Cleveland will not win before Lebron does, but neither of them will win one soon imo

whatsgood5 · 07-08-10, 10:28 PM

WOW. Classless IMO. I will be rooting against this franchise in any game that has no significance for my Knicks and that I don't have $$$ on. Guy comes across like a bitter ten year old.

DrStale · 07-08-10, 10:28 PM

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

I want what this guy's drinkin.

Dirty Sanchez · 07-08-10, 10:30 PM

He needs to get on the Dutch Porn Star's Twitter List and get in line...He needs one

Manaconda · 07-08-10, 10:34 PM

as a buisnessman of his stature, this is just embarrassing himself

HoldEmHook!! · 07-08-10, 10:36 PM

If he would have put that much energy in putting better talent around lebron, Lebron would never have left.....he is just pissed the cash cow left

Hotdiggity11 · 07-08-10, 10:37 PM

Delusional when it comes to predicting a championship but his analysis of "King" James is right on.

DeluxeLiner · 07-08-10, 10:38 PM

WOW good post. very good read

jlgarciaiii22 · 07-08-10, 10:39 PM

I thought it was kind of cool... A little immature, but done with a lotta balls!

Niether one will win a championship in my book!

Manaconda · 07-08-10, 10:46 PM

how much do you think this affects the value of the cavs, after the sponsors leave and the season tickets all get dropped? guy must feel like he got anally raped right now!

Doug · 07-08-10, 10:48 PM

What would be estimated odds on Miami and Cleveland for 2010-2011 ?

maybe...

Miami +100
Cleveland +30000

ProfaneReality · 07-08-10, 10:54 PM

no chance miami is even money...come on guy...

mtneer1212 · 07-08-10, 10:56 PM

I like it. I thought it showed balls. In my opinion, if Lebron wins 5 titles in Miami, and I don't think he will win one, but if he does -- it will be meaningless in comparison to what Kobe and Jordan had done.

exaggeration of course

Miami favored to win the East is credible

Cleveland at 100-1 to win the NBA seems low.

tkim8404 · 07-08-10, 11:03 PM

I don't blame the guy for being disappointed but this is really a childish act upon an organization that's supposed to be professional. Entertaining read though for sure.

mtneer1212 · 07-08-10, 11:06 PM

Did you actually watch the Lebron show on ESPN? It was disgraceful. 3 hours of bullsh!t. Want to see class? See Kevin Durant.

CarpeDime · 07-08-10, 11:14 PM

haha thats awesome

lebron has now joined the elite ranks of coolest nba players of all times

hes up there with walt frazier

i had no idea he was this cool until all this happened

TheLock · 07-08-10, 11:15 PM

The owner comes off as a real tool in his letter to fans

Holtgetsback · 07-08-10, 11:16 PM

I'm surprised he didn't call for lebron's head on a platter

lebron should just skip Miami's road trip to Cleveland

Capybara · 07-08-10, 11:45 PM

That is a pretty hilarious read!!!

I'm sorry, but that is unprofessional. I mean it's one thing for a bunch of posters in a gambling forum sitting around posting in their boxer shorts to be bitter and to write nasty posts about athletes -- but this guy is an NBA OWNER!!!!!!! It's a BUSINESS, stop acting like a diehard fan crybaby!!!!

You are the owner, you need to stand strong and firm and unfettered by this clown and his infomercial!!

You say "We're disappointed, blah blah blah, we thank LeBron James and wish him the best, blah blah blah... The Cavaliers will recover quickly from this, blah blah blah".

You don't call the guy who just WAS your franchise and made you all kinds of cash for the last seven years a "COWARD", Betrayer, etc.. and whine and cry and throw stones!! LMAO!!!!!

Oh, and what was with every other word being in "quotes"?? That was hysterical!!!!!

Guess you "don't" have to "be" a good "writer" to be a "millionaire."

Deuce · 07-09-10, 12:08 AM

Just as uneducated as his sub-prime mortgage bankers.

JUST A MAN · 07-09-10, 05:05 AM

Lebron just watered down his stock by going to Miami.

tblues2005 · 07-09-10, 05:13 AM

If this owner does not get fined like Cuban does this would make no sense.

Durant's Twitter: I really don't deserve this praise for handling my deal the way I did...plenty of guys did it the way I did...

And then 6 hours ago: Glad my bro mike Beasley is outta Miami...u gon really see him get busy this year!!

Massive class differential between the Queen and KD.

jjgold · 07-09-10, 05:25 AM

Shari his name is The King

Durant and Okl City are a major threat in the coming years to get to finals

HotStreak · 07-09-10, 05:28 AM

"The Decision" was terrible TV. The only show that was worse, was that Geraldo Rivera breaking into Al Capones vault thing 20 something years ago.

Great post, Shari. I love to root for the good guys; haven't paid close attention to KD's off-the-court persona, but from all I hear he is a top-notch kid.

Lebron is never gonna live down his ridiculous live-TV special... people do not want to root for narcissists. Contrarily, people LOVE to root for humble players.

lTheShadowl · 07-09-10, 11:02 AM

Wow. No way in hell Cleveland wins a championship before Miami...
