I'm not washing Gilbert of any blame, but to put it all on him is a complete joke. I would also venture to say that fanbases for 20 other NBA franchises would die to have an owner like Gilbert.BR1986FB;1862817 wrote:Even Stevie Wonder can see that Gilbert is pretty inept as an owner. He's good for two things, spending money (thank you) and turning over his front office constantly (not good). He's essentially a "Jerry Jones" of the NBA. Griff is gone because he wanted total roster responsibility and Gilbert said no because he wants to be able to help pick players. A good owner is going to be hands off. It's Gilbert's prerogative to want to have his fingers in the personnel pie but it usually doesn't equate to success.
The comment about Lebron had nothing to do with "hook, line & sinker." Even if he wasn't here and Gilbert were pulling the same shit he'd look just as inept in my eyes.
The cavs were bidding against themselves when the re-signed some key players, and that was all because of Lebron.
