“We believe in this team, this organization, this community, and what we will do to compete at the highest level. We believe in the new coach and leader we have in Byron Scott, and the world class basketball organization and positive and strong culture we've established. Dan Gilbert and our ownership group are firmly committed to reaching our goals and succeeding on the court and in the community, at the highest level.”

“Our fans stepped up and showed their support, to a degree unlike anywhere else. We are fortunate to have the support of the best fans in the NBA. That passion and dedication will be rewarded. We will work relentlessly to continue to build a team that will contend. A team that will win championships. We are all competitors and our one goal is to win, that and Dan Gilbert and our ownership team’s commitment and investment in this organization and community are constants that will not change."

a est il prossim'anno tifo per voi :D

mi dispiace un sacco per cleveland.

Dispiace tantissimo per la città di Cleveland, spero che ci sarà una buona ricostruzione..magari senza pagliacci o presunti prescelti/choosenone come Lebron a portarvi di nuovo in alto

il sito del giornale di clevaland qual'è?

buona sorte intanto, james vi ha lasciato in bella cacca

Multiple police cars are protecting the witness billboard in downtown CLE.

Ho un amico che in questo momento è a Cleveland, come regalo-laurea (ragazzo mio, ma tra tutte le città statunitensi, proprio Cleveland? :D).
Sono curioso di sentire cosa sta succedendo là.

Open Letter to Fans from Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert


Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....



Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers




  :notworthy:

poteva risparmiarsi la sparata del titolo ma

Grande stima per quell'uomo

Aspetto solo Miami @ Cleveland io!

"Tempo per piangere no non ce n'è
tutto continua anche senza di te"

Wow 

Ovazione per Gilbert 

RISPETTO PER GILBERT E I CAVS 

L'AVEVAMO SOPRAVVALUTATO.

Beh dopo tutte le coccole e i vizi che ha dovuto concedere a quel buffone li per farlo contento, per forza che ora è esploso. Ormai non deve mica piu leccargli il  culo, può sbottare in libertà  :forza:
Niente di cui stupirsi cmq, si è accorto che questa era la via facile e l'ha percorsa, come i bravi perdenti...

Dispiace un casino... Spero solo che i tifosi quelli veri dei cavs non si buttino giù dinanzi la scelta di un uomo che a mio modesto parere è scaduto tantissimo davanti a milioni di tifosi. I cavs da quando c'era lebron erano la squadra per cui simpatizzavo dopo il tifo per gli spurs. Ad est solo i cavs.
