Open Letter to Dan Gilbert: Don't let Koby be duped by media AGAIN!

[KilgoreTrout]

I think you're discounting the massive drama component when Kyrie is sitting due to "injury", and LBJ goes into turbo-petulant mode. Massive pressure on the Cavs and Koby to "do something" coming from LBJ and his camp, and everyone knows it.

Had Kyrie done his power play a few weeks earlier, prior to the start of free agency, that could have made all the difference. But he waited until it was too late for the best deals that might otherwise have been available.​

I thought part of the falling out between Gilbert and Griff was Gilbert’s unwillingness to include Kyrie in deals?

Trade something and Kyrie for something and Jimmy Butler, and the Cavs are stylin’. Instead, everyone thinks the Cavs are dangling Love, and maybe they are...

Again, the reports are that there was a trade for Kyrie, approved by Dan, for PG. And Indiana nixed it at the last moment. I don't think there was any way the Bulls were going to send us Jimmy Butler.

Why wouldn’t the Bulls send us Butler? Everyone has a price, no? Except Belichick, I guess.

I thought I remembered reading that Griff could never get those discussions off the ground with the Bulls.

In any case, Kyrie didn't make his trade demand until well after the draft, and remember that Butler was traded on draft night. So Butler was no longer an option after that.

I don't ever want to see "letter" and "Dan Gilbert" in the same sentence again. Amazing how the entire sports world still utters Dan's name with utter disgust because of that idiotic letter he wrote 7 years ago. Basically, he made LeBron the victim in the whole thing. What a turd.
