Does Dan Gilbert own the WNBA team in Cleveland (if there is one)? Maybe he was talking about that championship.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 05:00 AM) I thought it was a little over the top. The Cavs fans will LOVE him for it though, so he's going to get good PR for it. Yep, it's a great way to get the fans back on your side after I'm sure they were are cursing him an hour ago.

Can I just say this thread has been amazing for over a week now, and I want to thank everyone involved with it....except for shack, HOW DARE YOU YELL AT ME! You know my wife is giving me hell as it is

Look for Mike Miller to sign with Miami in next 24 hours if this is true.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:56 AM) even though it's only a little over 10 years since Jordan left the Bulls and the championship run, media has changed so much since then, it's impossible to have that type of protection again IMO Charles Oakley

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:55 AM) The more I hear Chris Bosh talk, the more I respect him. He comes off as the most intelligent of the three, if you ask me. don't get suckered, he says what the media wants to hear. He's a real douchebag.

Personally, I think the Cavs should have West wear James' old number.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:54 AM) The hour-long televised "decision" was ridiculous. How could anyone have thought that was a good idea. It's funny, I get the impression that Lebron is actually a better dude off the court than Jordan ever was and yet you never saw Jordan's PR team make a mis-step like that. Lebron should hire whomever ran interference for Jordan. fantastic post

I guess Josh Cribbs is going to put up a huge banner in downtown Cleveland saying that he's staying there, and that he's true to his word.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:49 AM) I like what one fan said "he basically said Dwayne Wade is better than him, so he is going to play with him." And Wade chose playing with Bosh over time with his two kids. There has to be some messed up transitive property there.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:48 AM) Yep, and you knew it was coming if he went down there. I wonder if he knew how bad this would make him look? Most telling was the editor of draftexpress, who is at the Summer League games. The NBA people there were disgusted with LeBron.

I've forgotten how much I hate watching the National League. The Dodgers offense outside of their top 4 is absolutely awful. Russell Martin looks like he ate someone. Hopefully Dodgers can split this 4 game series, as it would suck for Cubs to go into the break winning 7 in a row and then opening up after the ASB against a Phillies team that is missing a ton of players also.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:44 AM) You know what's really exciting about this Gibert thing? Things are going to start leaking like a motherf***er from over there. I expect confirmation of the West-Gloria James thing in a week. About 90 minutes ago, I said I'd love to see a tell-all from a pissed off Cleveland org member

All things said, I love how this is blowing up in LeBron's face. Tons of articles in the media bashing him already.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:41 AM) Gilbert letter has been verified. wow, not only did he lose his franchise tonight, but he lost his dignity

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:40 AM) Sounds like Michael Beasley a bit. Totally different players. A lot more like Sean May

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:39 AM) is one of those guys the Baylor guy? Perry Jones

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:37 AM) who are the top freshmen coming in to even keep an eye on? Harrison Barnes and J. Sullinger

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:35 AM) If i'm the Cavs i try to cash in on picks for Williams and Jamison. Next years draft is deep enough that you can buld a decent mid-2000 Bulls-esque core and let that team grow together. Next year's draft is going to be terrible

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:31 AM) That is incredibly pathetic and unprofessional in my opinion. So much, in fact, that I have a hard time believing it is authentic. me too

Is that Gilbert letter real?

The Reds are supposedly interested in Cliff Lee, but they really need to focus on cleaning up their bullpen. Outside of Cordero and Rhodes, they have no one!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) Anyone listening to the Score? Goff is pissed. I've never heard him more angry. what's he saying

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) Bulls should trade for Antawn Jameson, Rashard Lewis, or Jason Richardson. Richardson would be the best fit of those 3

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:56 AM) The league has been going down the drain for awhile now. The entire culture has changed. It is not even entertaining anymore. It is dunks and 3 pointers, just like ghetto ball. I couldn't disagree more. You see guys like Rondo and Rose who are perfecting the tear-drop in the lane. You have someone like Durant who has amazing offensive ability. I swear I've heard that "the entire culture has changed" for the last 2 decades.
