Lebron James gave us 7 great years. He is a great player that I respect. The way he handled this free agency is ridiculous. It was drawn out, and Cleveland deserved better. Lebron acknowledged he did not talk to Cavaliers management, or front office personnel before his decision. After everything Cleveland and Akron gave him, couldn't he atleast have talked to them before this decision to hear what they had to say, or to tell them of his decision?
He also said he wants to play for multiple championships and he felt that the players at Miami were obviously better. Yes they have Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and now Lebron James. Who else do they have? Owner Dan Gilbert has spent alot of money to put Cleveland in the best position each and every year. He has built a good team around Lebron and tried to give him players with talent. Now Lebron thought it was time to move on. Remember before Lebron James came the cavaliers weren't a winning team. It did take a little time to get where they are now. So James gave 4 years with the talent and he could not get the job done.
To me dragging this out and making Clevelanders suffer with his decision was disrespectful. There were other ways to do this, and Clevelanders deserved better. In the next few weeks, more will come out especially after owner Dan Gilbert stood up for fans and frustration.
