In the aftermath of the David Blatt firing, we all went to LeBron James first because we all knew that LBJ wanted Blatt gone from day 1. So it was completely justified when we didn’t believe that LeBron James knew the same time we did.
But now we can firmly believe that James found out the same time we did as the Cavs players held a ‘players only’ meeting after Blatt was fired.
Following a meeting called by general manager David Griffin to inform the team coach David Blatt had been fired, Cavs players held an extended and spirited players-only meeting, sources told ESPN.com. It turned into an airing of grievances for players including stars LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving but eventually led to an agreement that has been a basis for the Cavs recent strong play.
“It was like ripping off a scab,” one team source said. “And it was exactly what needed to happen, I think it was what [Griffin] was hoping for.”
“It was very healthy for the team,” another source said. “It probably needed to happen weeks ago.”
Wow a scab!? You gonna do Blatt like that? Damn, that’s cold.
Anyways, they shouldn’t have hired Blatt in the first place, they should’ve accounted for the possibility of LeBron returning and not selling Blatt a job that was nowhere near what he was asked to do.
