[Mecca of the “B” Team]

But didn't @WiggyRuss say 10,000 x that the Lakers were many years away from any top FA considering them?

Not only did he say that. He also said they would never be able to unload Mozgov or Deng this fast.

As always, time vindicates.

I agree with the Kings for turning that down

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Shit, you are right....

LeBron James' new Cavs contract reportedly includes a very rare clause | FOX Sports

I googled it.
I assumed he didn't.

Wow. The Kings didnt make a bad trade. Surprising lol

Vlade still bitter over that Kobe shit...lol

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I have nothing against the Cavs, nor their fans.

* Especially @gordontrue and @Shanemansj13 *

Wiggy is the only reason I'm amused by this meltdown of a month they're having.

Can't talk all that shit and then get ghost when it goes to hell.

Wiggy reminds me of a 11 year old child

I don't understand why the Lakers won't just give them #2 and get it over with.

There must be a guy in the top 10 that they really want because they were keeping one of the Kings picks.

That's a pretty huge insult to all 11 year olds.

Howard was traded....

You might have a point. One thing for sure though. He seems to yanking a lot of chains even when he isn't in here

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Howard was traded....

You are 5 pages late...

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers are really trying.....shit.

 

[DJ Fieri]

You are 5 pages late...

3.5 pages.

 

[trojanfan12]

And let it begin....

Let's see:

Cavs get pummeled in 5 games despite having the best player and the highest payroll in league history.
Paul George doing everything he can to get to the Lakers despite Wiggy saying they won't be attractive to top FA's for 5 years.
The Lakers unload Mozgov's albatross contract despite Wiggy saying there's no way it will happen this fast.
Then the Lebron to the Lakers rumors start.
Then "the best GM in the entire league" leaves.
Now Kyrie is allegedly texting that he's willing to try to force a trade.

The only way Wiggy's June could get any worse is if Kyrie forces a trade to the Heat.

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-TITLED 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
