I am a Cavs fan. I agree with everything Dan Gilbert said in his letter. He was enabled by everyone. The ownership, the fans, the media. It was all ignored because we were blinded by his immense talent.

But nothing said by Gilbert was racist. It was nothing like an owner-slave relationship. LeBron was payed a lot of money and was consulted on every personnel decision the Cavs did under Gilbert.

Dan Gilbert deserved a personal phone call from LeBron James telling him that he was leaving Cleveland. Gilbert did everything he could to surround LBJ with the talent to win it all. Gilbert spent a lot of money that he didn't have too. The other teams in the running didn't deserve a phone call, but the Cavaliers did. LeBron James embarrassed the Cavs, Cleveland and Akron, and himself. If this was his plan the entire team, and I think it was, it would have been better if he just said at the onset of free agency that he intended to join Wade in Miami.

Now it looks like this has been in the works for months, if not years. But somehow this isn't collusion?

One thing is for sure, James' #23 will never hang from the rafters of Quicken Loans Arena.
