When Lebron hatred goes too far...

The [Cleveland Cavalier’s ]ownership has no incentive whatsoever to make any attempt to pull the team out of the abyss. None.

Why even try to rebuild or land a superstar anymore? As long as they can milk irrational hatred, they’re set for the next 5, 10 years, easily. Mavericks? They should be thanking the Clippers for setting such a fine example. Cut corners! Mix and match and patch and cobble! Remain stuck in lottery purgatory for the indefinite future! What does it matter? Satisfaction still guaranteed.

Gonna be a long, hard winter. Much longer than 1 hour, that’s for sure.

I’m afraid you’re misreading the situation in Cleveland DKW. Cavaliers’ season ticket sales were strong in 2010-11 because there was the expectation that James would be back and that the team would be a contender. While that didn’t happen, the tickets had been already sold so the team didn’t lose much money. Going into the 2011-12 season ticket -and disregarding any lockout/strike issues - Cavalier ticket sales WILL decrease unless the team takes positive steps to improve.

Except the quality of players in this draft is subpar. Not a great field.

Yeah, unfortunately for the Cavs, this might be the worst stock of players in a draft in recent memory. When Kyrie Irving (who ended up being an albatross on a good Duke team) is the probable #1 pick, the pickings are indeed slim.
