While it's certainly his right to go wherever to play, those who blame the team
for not doing enough to surround him with talent are just wrong. If he truely was most concerned with winning Championships, he would have signed a max deal on his last contract, rather than a 3 and option. Ferry and Gilbert were under the gun to do anything possible during those 3 years. It would have been much easier making a long term plan, had they known they could count on him being there for six years. When you see Trevor Ariza say he didn't sign in Cle. because he got no assurances James would be there long term, you just know that no matter what, the team could not get any good players to sign there.
He wanted Larry Hughes.
He wanted Mo Williams.
He wanted Shaq.
He wanted Jamison.
He wanted Varejao re-signed.
Please don't kid yourself, all those decisions went through James.
The team has shown that going into luxury tax territory is not a deterrent at all. Don't say Gilbert or the team failed to get him help. They sure spent money trying to get him help.
IMO, he's as much to blame, if not more, for the team not getting him his Pippen.
If Gilbert can be blamed for anything, it's trying to hard to coddle him.
I just hope Gilbert , rather than making trades for other players, makes trades for picks to start this over. Play with the team you have, get into the lottery a few times , and learn how to draft.

LeBron is a bitch...nice tweet..glad you found a new home cause you have none here in Ohio... but uhh why does he have to have a title for everything he does "The Road to History?????"
What a loser. I hope he wins nothing.

I don't care if we go 2-80 next season as long as those 2 wins are against the Miami fucking Heat in downtown mother fucking Cleveland. I also hope other Cleveland athletes (cough cough Josh Cribbs) blast his punk ass from here to South Beach on Twitter.
And now for the craziest thing i've ever said/thought.....
I'm now a Skip Bayless fan (brb gotta throw up)
