Special treatment like that Gilbert previously bent over backwards to do, only to get kicked in the nuts and for him to leave? He had it made here in Cleveland, sold his soul to go south, and now may want to pick back up where he left off when he returns.
You know he's not going to be "just one of the guys." He and his entourage will expect treatment above & beyond the call, like they had before.
Like one of the articles said, THAT would be one of his main reasons for him returning. It's been documented that Pat Riley doesn't put up with that shit in South Beach and Gilbert basically grabbed his ankles for him, while here in Cleveland, and said "thank you, sir...may I have another?"
I know what you are saying, I just don't see him now as I did when he was 21 years old.
I know it's a long shot and probably a bit unrealistic, but I could see him coming here, shutting up, letting the organization (who, btw, has proven at least in my opinion that they can build up a franchise from the bottom up...at least it's looking that way so far) run the show, and trying to bring a title to the city he grew up by and knows how desperate they are for a championship.
When you think about it...Chris Grant has made INCREDIBLE moves so far. He's only been the GM for 2 and a half years and was put in charge of one of the toughest rebuilding jobs.
The recent trade w/ the Grizzlies was trade rape. He traded Mo Williams and Jamario Moon for what turned out to be the #1 pick in the draft and probably the next superstar in the NBA. He got, what looks to be, the two best players in the 2010 draft in Irving and TT. He signed Alonzo Gee. They have a first round pick coming from the Lakers. Another one from the Grizzlies.
The difference between Danny Ferry (LOL) and Chris Grant is night and day, and I hope Lebron "and his crew" see that.
