Chapter 408: Chapter 201 - Shaquille’s Final Outburst_4

And the Cavaliers...

As long as they want to make money, it’s impossible for them to trade LeBron.

LeBron’s presence is the bond between the team and the fans.

How stupid would the Cavaliers have to be to destroy such a bond?

Therefore, it’s not very likely for LeBron to leave the Cavaliers, nor would the Cavaliers actively trade LeBron.

Then why would Su Wan have such thoughts?

Erin’s final conclusion was:

Su Wan is not normal, so it’s normal for him to think about LeBron leaving Cleveland and then taking his place!

Moreover, she finally understood how much Su Wan loathed LeBron.

Just think, if LeBron left Cleveland, and then Su Wan led the Cavaliers to victory, LeBron would probably be doomed forever...

Of course, this is based on the presumption that LeBron had already helped the Cavaliers win the Championship Trophy.

But if that were the case, it wouldn’t be possible for Su Wan to go there...

So Erin simply passed over this presumption.

Su Wan ultimately didn’t share his true thoughts with Erin... You really can’t have him predicting now that LeBron James will go to Miami to join Wade and Chris Bosh to form the Three Giants in the summer of 2010, can you?

However, thinking about cutting off LeBron’s path does sound interesting.

If such an opportunity really existed, he wouldn’t mind giving it a shot.

Of course, such a chance isn’t just about LeBron leaving.

Other conditions are needed too...

For him to do as he pleases in the future...

He must win this year’s Championship Trophy!

Thinking of the upcoming Finals, Su Wan’s gaze sharpened once again.

Meanwhile, in the Cavaliers’ players’ tunnel at Quicken Loans Arena, at the moment the Pacers lifted the Eastern Conference championship trophy, Shaquille O’Neal directly shouted angrily at the camera lens, "Trade me, Danny, right now, immediately. I no longer want anything to do with LeBron!"

With just this one sentence, all the reporters’ eyes lit up.

Once a player starts off with this "Starting Move," there’s one thing they are very sure of:

There are juicy stories to be had!

And these are big juicy stories!

"I have never been in such a terrible atmosphere in a team, everyone is revolving around LeBron James, I know what LeBron means to this city, but that doesn’t mean he is the kind of King his nickname suggests on the basketball court, he’s just a rookie that hasn’t even touched the Finals court, even the chance to stand on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals this year, is because I came!"

"He clearly needs a Superstar to reach a higher platform, like Su Wan, like me, but he always acts as if the whole world should revolve around him!"

"I know the Cavaliers have given him this, but he shouldn’t show these to us!"

"When I stand on the stage of the Finals lifting the Championship Trophy, he isn’t even the Chosen One!"

"If he doesn’t change his mindset, realize that he is just riding on others’ coattails, the Cavaliers’ locker room will never be peaceful!"

"But I’ve had enough, and I don’t want to wait and watch him grow!"

"And this city’s media, they’re really lousy! They tried to destroy my career, forcing me to play with injuries, just because LeBron was being beaten by Su Wan!"

"But when LeBron was injured, I never saw them pressure LeBron like this!"

"This city with double standards, it’s truly disgusting!"

...

Shark’s anger fed the media quite a feast.

They knew very well that tomorrow morning, Shaq’s words would cause a big stir in the next day’s news.

Danny Ferri wasn’t surprised that Shaquille O’Neal would stage a "palace coup" demanding the team trade him. It’s a sort of way for some "Superstars" to save face when they realize the team might want to trade them, they issue a "trade request" to be the one who leaves on their own terms.

Plus, with Shaq playing pretty well in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and getting the Cavaliers into the Eastern Conference Finals, he had the right to play this card.

However, his subsequent bombardment of the team, LeBron, and the Cleveland media has left Danny Ferri completely numb.

He had thought that the Cavaliers and Shaq could "part on good terms."

It was only later that he heard that LeBron and Shaq had another verbal spar in the locker room before tonight’s game.

Then he understood why Shaq did what he did!

This petty guy, he’s stirring up one last mess before he leaves, trying to completely ruin the reputations of LeBron and the Cavaliers!

Danny Ferri was incredibly frustrated, and outside, the criticism of LeBron kept coming.

Barkley said, "If LeBron really doesn’t even regard Shaquille O’Neal, then I think I understand why the Cavaliers always have locker room conflicts. He should really learn what respect means!"

New York Times: "This might be the real LeBron James, not the one we see in front of the media; he’s not as mature as he appears. And Su Wan realized this three years ago!"

Open-air grandstand: "Nike released a promotional film for LeBron before the new season started, Baptism of Fire. Now it seems, the film was shot too early."

Last season LeBron indeed reached a low point in public opinion.

But to speak of lows, this season clearly reached a new height:
