Spot on. I don't think Dan Gilbert is going to stand there while everyone in the NBA makes moves. Everyone makes it seem like we're dead man walking over here but we have some assets to work with (MLE, Hickson/Green, expirings of West/Parker/Telfair) and an owner who will spend money. I look for the Cavs to buy a draft pick, then try and scour the trade market to see what he can find. Gilbert stands to lose so much money if LeBron walks, and he will do everything he can to prevent that.
I absolutely agree with this. And in addition to Gilbert doing everything he can to make this the best team possible, he is a real tough SOB who is no push over. No matter who Lebron signs with, if it's the Cavs or someone else, I fully expect Gilbert to go hard core after those teams that he feels have tamperred with Lebron. I truly expect in the next month or two that one or more teams will have to pay some serious fines and/or forfiet draft picks. Gilbert is a guy who appears to me to be relentless, and will not go down without a good fight.
