Jason Loyd: Lebron James camp hoped the Cavs would turn back from trade

[j804]

Throughout these negotiations, there were those in LeBron James’ camp who hoped maybe the Cavs would turn back from this trade with Boston, hang on to Kyrie Irving and bring him to training camp to give the team’s two best players a chance to work out any differences.

lequeen wanted win now players and doesn't care about a top lotto pick coming in the following year when he leaves town. How selfish, wanted  to truley leave cleveland with no rebuilding pieces

[goCeltics]

This was the hold up with the trade lue and laqueen wanted win now players whilst gilbert wanted to focus on future assests as he knows lequeen is leaving. This why gilbert was holding evertything up in order the appease lequeen.

"There were those in his camp"...

It's hard to attribute much to that statement.

[Dino Pitino]

This report is a gentle euphemism for "It was all LeBron, he flipped his **** over the hip and made ultimatums to Gilbert and Altman."

"There were those in his camp"...

It's hard to attribute much to that statement.

Especially when his "camp" is literally hundreds of people ranging from friends to plants in the media.
