The 4 year deal is a slap in the face. Hope he never wins another ring. He can do whatever he wants, but doesn’t mean I have to ever root for him. Cavs are gonna be hot garbage for the foreseeable future

Don’t be mad at Lebron, be mad at Dan Gilbert

You can be mad at both.

Kinda this. A multi year deal would have helped us early on making better moves and attracting better players knowing he’s sticking around.
I don't understand anyone being angry at him. He fulfilled his contract in Cleveland, he won the city its first championship in 50 years and he brought more attention to the Cavs than they ever had before. Like the rest of us, he is free to work wherever he wants. I am sorry that he won't be with the Cavs any longer. But I respect his right to go where he wants to. If any boss of mine ever wrote an internet letter like the one Gilbert did, I would never ever trust him regardless of what he said.

What makes you think Dan Gilbert’s incompetent ass is capable of making a “better move” for the franchise?

Trade K-Love start stockpiling draft picks for 2021.

Nothing. But it makes free agents leery to come to Cleveland when they know he can bolt next year.

No offense, Kevin. But I’m trading you for all the picks I can get. Blow this sinking ship up.

No we get it. It’s just the 4 year deal stings with all the 1-1’s we got.
He won't make an NBA finals in any of the next 4 years.

Yup, start the tanking.

I’ll never bet against Lebron. He took a Cavs team this year who won’t win 20 games next year. Well have to wait and see who else they add.
the length of the deal is meaningless when i'm sure it has built-in player options. everyone appears to be looking for a reason to hate him on the way out.

It’s a 3+1.

It means he’ll be there at least 3 years lol

Yea, it does matter vs all of the 1+1s. I don’t even like basketball and think that Gilbert should sell the team, but no one made LeBron write a letter talking about finishing his career in Cleveland.
The win and parade was amazing, and he does amazing work in Akron, but that doesn’t mean people can’t be disappointed.

Congrats on not knowing how to read a contract.
excited to see the lavar/lebron ego battle.
