I don't really think there is any meat behind the report someone shared earlier that "people inside Lebron's camp wanted the deal to get nixed." However, now looking at the offseason on a hole do you think Lebron is pretty frustrated how this offseason went?
The offseason began with dreams of upgrading Kevin Love to Paul George or Jimmy Butler to play alongside Irving and Lebron. There was also a believe that the Warriors would be unable to keep their team together with Durant, Iggy and Livingstone all set to hit the market and lots of teams wanting to throw money at Iggy in particular.
What happened instead was the Cavs lost their GM and a trade that was agreed to that would have brought them George was reneged at the last moment.
Lebron then watched everyone resign in Golden State including Durant taking a significant pay cut.
Then despite Lebron recruiting Jamal Crawford and rumors of Carmelo Anthony or Wade joining the team, they ended up with Derrick Rose, Jose Calderon and Jeff Green's carcass off the scrap heap.
The second best player on the Cavs and Lebron's little brother, then demands a trade.
The Celtics close the gap by signing the most coveted free agent on the market in Hayward and then inexplicably land Irving in exchange for Crowder and possibly a very gimpy Isiah Thomas.
The Cavs are not viewed as a lock to make the Finals for the first time since Lebron returned to Cleveland, and if they get there would presumably have a stronger version of the Warriors team that smashed them last year waiting to play them.
Definitely a far cry from 2.5 months ago when there were dreams of getting a 4th star to join their big 3 or working magic to get Carmelo.
PS: Moranis you don't need to waste your time explaining why this was a dream offseason for the Cavs and everything worked out great. We know where you stand.
