If Dan Gilbert gives Phil Jackson 20 million dollars a year.he should be run out of Cleveland. That would go down as one of the worst decisions in NBA history

Wow dude, you're dense as fuck. It might go down as one of the best business decisions in NBA history--he literally can't afford to watch LeBron walk and lose a few hundred million on the value of the franchise.

It's not a worse decision than giving Shaq $20 million.

Shaq's contract was already set..there was nothing you could do about it

SQ...you're not even a Cleveland fan...so what the hell would you care about Gilbert losing money?

I agree with SQ on the business side of things. Broussard thinks it would take somewhere around 14-15 mil

The press conference is basically to say nothing. Just to say he is disappointed that review process has started.

This is a by-the-book presser that is part of Gilbert's job.

ESPN is blowing it up because there are so many story lines, but it never meant that there was going to be some big announcement.

LOL...you seem to think 20 million>hundreds of millions. Say whatever you want about me, I don't really care. You aren't thinking clearly, instead you're trying to argue with anything I say.

There's no way they would fire Brown not even 24 hours after the season is over.

They're going to fire him, but they'll at least look like they're going through a process...not just firing him on the spot. Bit of a professionalism involved here.

Brown is gone, you can hear it in Gilbert's voice and his words basically. But the decision just hasn't been made yet.

Taking shots? Gilbert is an NBA owner. Bloomberg is the mayor. All he said was that he thinks he has more important things to worry about--you think he's wrong? LMAO. Gilbert can speak on this all he wants, he's part of it.
