Frustration With Dan Gilbert Growing?

The truth is in the pudding people. These ares the Cavs minus LeBron.

Nobody even comes to this blog anymore. Why? Because Lebron is gone a.k.a. the Cavs now stink. It’s called reality. Wake up!

I’m expecting quite a backlash in season tickets sales next season (no surprise they will drop, but I think it’s going to be substantial).

I think the average fan (family of four ticket sales excluded) felt betrayed by the way the team played and acted in the first Miami game here in Cleveland (and the subsequent losing streak) that they have already cut ties with many of these players from a “fan” perspective.

I also think you’ll get alot of fans who don’t fully understand the cap system and basic things like player contracts who call out for immediate changes, “get rid of these bums” attitude. Of course these changes won’t come (wholesale anyways) because it is assumed Chris Grant is a relatively smart guy and knows a thing or two about selling when assests are at heightend value not when they are at their lowest. So there will be a backlash about that, and it will be aimed at Gilbert, because well, he’s made himself to be quite the active owner in the league, one of the more recongnizable owners by far. And now he’s a target (not without some venom due his way mind you).

There isn’t really anything the Cavs can do at this point barring a playoff run, and because of how long the backslid and still really haven’t returned to the level of play that were showing in that first week or so of the season, I don’t see it happening. In the end the best thing for this organization is for this team to lose and lose alot. A top five draft pick and some free time for players like Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson, and Antwan Jamison to build their perceived trade value with empty points per game totals and the like on a losing team.

I don’t understand how the hell Gilbert can be blamed for everything. Our players aren’t all exactly superstars themselves. Plus, we have a brand new system of coaching. Add that to the fact our chemistry was severed this summer.

Where’s the damn loyalty these days?

Cavs fans are acting like spoiled little brats if they start taking it out on the organization. I kind of wish Gilbert and Byron would just come out and say we’re rebuilding so at least it wouldn’t be some shock to some of the idiot fans who thinks this roster is one or two pieces away from contending.

This entire team was only effective with LeBron. If Kobe or Carmelo had been here, it wouldnt have been good, because it was MEANT FOR LEPIPPEN.

They played great together, until LeBron decided he wanted to quit on them. I think the team (or at least Mo, Boobie, Varejao, and Parker) are all playing pretty hard, and arent trying to lose games.

Byron Scott might kill me if he plays Jawad one more time.

but not something fans have in abundance. The trade exemption we got for LeBrat is only going to be usable at the deadline, as no one is looking to unload salary now. We may not get a star player for it, but a couple of modest pick-ups might happen. Somebody is going to want Antawn, Mo, and Andy. Parker and Moon have expiring contracts, so even if nobody wants them to play, they will still be worth something. Ultimately though, all of these pieces are more valuable in February than they are now.

I for one hope we can get some decent young talent, rather than just draft picks, because even the best picks, ala LeChoad, will take 2-3 years to help turn a team into winners. We are unlikely to get any promising talent in trade though, because just like JJ was off the table for us last year, no team wants to give up the possible future of the franchise.

The sad truth is that we are going to suck for a good long while. If this blog suffers a lack of interest in the process, so be it. The fair weather fans will be back when we are good again.

Now if only the punk ass trolls like gatorboi would lose interest…
