LeBron's response to Cavs front office drama should probably concern fans

NBA June 19, 2017
After spending most of the day on the phone trying to make deals to improve Cleveland's roster, general manager David Griffin was told his contract wouldn't be extended. LeBron didn't sound too pleased with this decision from owner Dan Gilbert, especially after three straight trips to the Finals.

Apparently making the Finals 3 years in a row doesn’t guarantee you a job. David Griffin’s out as GM of the Cavs.

FYI: Several teams have spoken to about Kyrie Irving. Griffin was unwilling to move Kyrie. It's unclear where owner Dan Gilbert stands

I know nothing about nothing. But the last thing I'd do if I owned the Cavs is make it easier for LeBron to leave again.

Gilbert wrote a letter denouncing Lebron that oozed racism. Bron doesn't need a reason to leave. He should do whatever the fuck Bron says.

If LeBron leaves next offseason, Cavs fans should blame no one but Gilbert

As expected, no one is taking more heat for David Griffin's departure than owner Dan Gilbert.
