yes but woj has a history of inaccurate reporting when it comes to Lebron.. I find it very hard to believe he knows the ins and outs of the Cavs locker room

Lebron only grants interviews where he'll create the questions he wants to be asked.

This is also what got Mike brown fired in Cleveland. He was also hesitant to criticize Lebron James as well.

I love Lebron the athlete and the businessman, however he's creating a disaster in Cleveland right now. Blatt gone, That Wiggins for love trade is looking bad right about now, and a lot of the Clevland free agents Lebron wanted aren't working out. This is not looking good for LBJ.

He needs his father figure Dywane Wade to help him out again. He needs a stern phone call from Wade again

Some people gave a fukk. David was in an awful being a novice and coaching Lebron. It is what it is at the end of the day .

Who? I mean yea, no one wants to see a guy get fired especially with a family (even though he rich as fukk now)...but how many coaches deserved that opportunity over him...a bunch, and how many minority coaches...a bunch. Blatt wasn't familiar with anyone, didn't work through the ranks of the NBA and basically had no credentials or "craw before walk" time to justify his position. It's the reason why Jaelin and Steven A seemed a lil harsh about the firing...he shouldn't have been there in the first place, it was just politics and bullshyt.

He was a top coach in Europe. Nothing wrong with thinking outside of the box once and awhile. What politics?

In all fairness...he was brought in before brons return...but I truly believe the front office knew this would happen early on(bron coming back)...but the play was more the owner putting what appears to be a RESPECTABLE group out there...Mark Jackson didn't fit the "look" Dan was going for. To a certain degree u gotta understand ohio bs sometimes...and how organizations try to please the ENTIRE crowd. The whole KING JAMES thing has rubbed some folks(cac) the wrong way...so him allowing Blatt to stay on was more him telling the white spending public that "yeah bron is coming back, but I and the front office are running the show"...when dealing with a breh as influential as bron ....cacs always wanna leverage their weight to some degree. Blatt was supposed to be the success that the organization could take SOLE credit for. Seems petty, but they are petty.

It ain't that deep my dude :pachaha: The organization is set up just like it was last time Bron left. Bron runs shyt, the front office is weak and the coach is both inexperienced and now in this case with Lue a friend and confidant of Lebron. It's been the same shyt since '03. Ain't shyt change and it never will.

Brooklyn son
I think the media hyped up the cavs lost to the warriors. Yea it was bad but wasn't kyrie just a few days fresh off injury and the like? I dunno, Ive seen teams get blown out before and their story wasn't dragged on and on and on for the rest the damn week every hour on the hour. Blatt got a raw deal. He was in to restart the culture of the Cavs with Kyrie and Wiggins being the focal point. Here comes LeGM and all his super star power and the entire plan goes to shyt and Blatt just wasn't the coach for whatever Gilbert let LeBron do. Blatt would be nice for the Nets or a young team that will listen.
