Daniel 'Boobie' Gibson - An Open Letter To Cavaliers Fans

If we move Delonte and Danny Green, I wonder if Mo could move over to the 2 spot and Boobie could maybe start some games. We need to get a good attacker though to get him some clear threes!

Class act. Go Boobie!

Don’t go out and attack LeBron, just let the fans know that the Cavs aren’t going away even though he’s going away.

After his huge hit in playing time over the past few years, it really shows that Boobie is a class act to still love the city and talk this highly of the franchise. Here’s to hoping he gets some increased playing time next year.

I love Gibson!

Now, maybe we will have a coach that will actually let you play!

I never liked you guys, you know.

Really didn’t.

Heard so much bad stuff about LeBron that it dragged your image, that of the Cavs, down.

Let me tell you this much; now that you’ve been “betrayed” by LeBron, you’ve just gained a WHOLE lot of respect, a whole lot of credit, from every single person that loves the game of basketball.

I won’t say I’ve become a fan, but I will say that I’ll root for you, a lot.

I will cheer for you,

… and with me, many, many others.

Good luck out there.

1. He’s going to Miami, where he’ll team up with Wade and Bosh, and have no income taxes on home games. This is not something that the Cavs could offer him. We could have gotten Bosh in a sign-and-trade, and probably then kept Lebron, but it would have put us a staggering amount over the cap.

2. As far as the announcement goes, his people had been leaking it all over the place a day earlier. It was only the media who made us keep hope. It’s not even a coincidence that Lebron, Wade, and Bosh expired at the same time- they set it up four years ago.

3. Not enough is made about the draft picks we’re getting. We’re getting draft picks (2 1st, 1 2nd, and a cap exception) thanks to Lebron asking for a 6th year on his deal. If he said he wanted a 5 year deal, we wouldn’t be getting anything out of this at all.

4. The Cavs did a nice job of surrounding Lebron with talent, as shown by our W-L record the last two years. We did our best, we came up short, and we were on the downhill for the next two years even with Lebron. Ferry gave it his best, which was darn good but not good enough.

Am I disappointed? Sure. I was hoping he’d stay. I don’t think he made us wait overlong- the free agency period only started July 1st. If he’d waited until August, yeah, I’d be mad. But as a business decision, I certainly understand it.

A few other points, just for the heck of it.
1. Dan Gilbert was way out of line.
2. Yeah, the Cavaliers did quit. Being down 11 with 93 seconds left, your odds aren’t good. But you gotta try.
3. Not enough is being made about how the free agency rules are going to change after next year. I think they’re going to kill Miami. Yeah, they’ll have the big three…and 0 cap space to sign everybody else. All these exemptions are going to go out the window. No more 100 million dollar teams.

The NFL is better because it is the only true team sport that has a equitable revenue structure. The NBA is an individual game masquerading as a team sport.

You’ve got to hope that B. Scott let’s the Cavs run the floor – especially if we are going with a young lineup. If we have 10 guys getting 24 minutes a game, it’s fine with me as long as everyone is going full throttle. More 110-104 games (win or lose) and less 90-88 (let’s take our chances stopping the final shot) games.

As for the past, yes, it’s history; however, we should have had the Celtics lining up for an oxygen tank.

And - if Mark Price offers to help with free throw technique TAKE HIM UP ON HIS OFFER ! Better yet, MAKE HIM AN OFFER.
