Funny how you like ignoring these things.

He forced them, did he? A convenient narrative. Unfortunately, it's pretty obvious now with Griffin's departure that LeBron's influence there was overstated.

I suppose LeBron pushed Griffin out, then. Is that what I'm supposed to believe too?

No. I doubt Gilbert gives a **** about appeasing LeBron anymore now that everybody knows he's leaving next year. But they absolutely appeased him the past 3 years. How else do you explain these contracts? How do you explain Blatt/Lue? How do you explain them trading their first overall pick for Love?
