I love this! :o

I can't wait to see the Heat play in Cleveland next year... should be epic.

They're going to have to have major security there.

Gilbert wants LeBron to go down?

Tell him to give us Varejao for 'Sheed.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
I guess he was thinking "if Lebron doesn't have to show any class why should I."

Mad props to Dan Gilbert for this! Now give us Anderson Verajao, JJ Hickson, Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, and any one who has any skil left on your so called team.

I respect this very much from Gilbert. TP to Mike Dub

Yeh, that's cold. Cold as.

But I like it. Not the act itself, it's rather embarrassing, but to think you've got an owner that cares that much about his team, that he'd throw a fit... that's heart.

TP to Dan G.

Gilbert I'm sure is a self made guy who's succeeded the hard way and I'm sure he sees LBJ as a childish, coddled kid who's only in the position he's in due to his God given talent.

He's probably grown to detest the guy more than a little over this.

I'm officially a Gilbert fan.

Telling it like it is ... too bad there wasn't more of this kind of honesty in the business ... just as LeBron has the right to leave, Gilbert has every right to respond in this fashion, and there should be no reprisal from Stern or the NBA. I really feel bad for the fans there ... truly, this is a heart-breaking, bitter thing to have laid in their laps. If there is any justice in the universe, this will back-fire somehow. Here's hoping.

Man, with all due respect, Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. Dan Gilbert. Sure, it was done in a terrible manner, but it was Lebron's freaking choice to sign with another team.

Ha, ha. I love this. I love the owner calling out the self-anointed king as a traitor and more is truly the fitting addendum to the farce played out by lebron.

Hats off to Gilbert. I enjoyed this. Now, In the spirit of all soap operas, the "ego" should now respond.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Man, with all due respect, **** Dan Gilbert. Sure, it was done in a terrible manner, but it was Lebron's freaking choice to sign with another team.

...and he just had to be doing it on national tv, kicking Cleveland in the groin? Bron is a King, alright. A King with no class. No rings, too.

I'm waiting for the chants next year at the Garden.  BronBron at the line...  "AIN'T WON S-H-I-T!"
