The funniest part of this to me is the reason Lebron left Miami to Cleveland is because the Spurs beat the shit out of them so badly in the playoffs. The whole reason the Spurs were able to do so was because the players were talented, but they also let Pop and RC Buford design systems and the rosters. I can't imagine a scenario where Duncan or Kawhi would be ripping up plays that Pop drew up out of timeouts in the playoffs.
So Lebron leaves Miami after they get destroyed in the finals to "bring a title" home, and the first fucking thing he does is the exact opposite of what the Spurs do. Amazing.

By obijkenobi Go To PostThe funniest part of this to me is the reason Lebron left Miami to Cleveland is because the Spurs beat the shit out of them so badly in the playoffs. .That's one of the reasons. Another reason is because RIley and Arison wouldn't let LeBron and his crew have any power over the organization. There were always stories of LeBron not getting what he wanted in Miami. Eg. CP3 was having a birthday party the night after a game so LeBron wanted to attend instead of catching the charter to the next city/state but Riley wouldn't allow it. LeBron literally runs the bus/flight scedule in Cleveland.

That last thing caught my attention too. How you gonna lose the scoop to Woj when you've been riding Lebron's nuts for 15 years?

How surprised were Cavs players today? When team meeting was called, some players speculated Kevin Love had been traded

Because Lebron didn't know about it bro. Duh!

ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo 12m12 minutes ago
Since Gregg Popovich became Spurs head coach (during the 1996-97 season), there have been 221 coaching changes in the NBA.
via @eliassports
Could Pop coach long enough to see 300 head coaches fired? I doubt it, but it's in play!
Dave McMenamin @mcten
According to a team source, Blatt firing means "everyone is in the crosshairs right now." Pressure only mounts from here for Cavs.

Griffin just said there's no contract. Nothing's been signed. So idk.
Where would Kevin Love even go and what would they even get in return as a favorable trade for both teams if Kevin Love were to be traded rather than Blatt being fired?
I'm curious since he did say it was Me or Kevin Love...
I can't think of any good options the Cavs could even make when they paid him so much.

Cleveland coach Ty Lue's three-year contract is worth $9.5M-plus, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Yeah, I saw that too. And it's crazy I believe Woj more than a Cavs Exec. Haha
The fuck could they even get for Love... They gave up Wiggins for him. Wiggins real happy on the low to be in Minnesota.
David Griffin's answers reminds me of that court room scene in Dark Knight

Isn't it spelled 'merc'd'?
As in "mercenary"?
By Kabro Go To Postimagine if lebron had phil or pops coaching him from the beginning.
this is what happens when you can't control your players.
byron knows what's up.
fuck that guy again.
This brings back the issue of Lebron never going to college and experiencing having a HC tell him what to do and the coach being more important than the player. Off course it's hyperbole but it's an interesting idea.

I would be too.
Hell, even 4 days ago I mentioned that LeBron may be single-handedly ruining the Cavaliers, their future, and that I feel bad for the fans. And now this.
