Chapter 637: Chapter 247 Explosion! Explosion! Explosion! (Requesting monthly pass!!!)_3
The oldest, Wade, was 28 years old. The youngest, LeBron, was only 25 years old and 7 months.
"Teaming up at this age?"
"Don’t they have any pride left?"
When Wade and Chris Bosh saw these news reports the next day, they were numb.
They had no idea that LeBron was going to join the Heat Team.
Now, they were utterly at a loss for words.
Because there was indeed a "three-year pact" between them...
LeBron then showed a satisfied smile. Now that’s better, all three of them were the "public enemy," not just him bearing the brunt of criticism.
But at this moment, Gilbert published the famous "Open Letter to Cleveland":
"Dear Cleveland, all of Northeast Ohio, and Cleveland Cavaliers supporters everywhere.
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in this area, is no longer a Knight.
He announced this in a narcissistic, self-promotional way on television.
This turncoat has made a decision that has disappointed the entire city of Cleveland.
The good news is that the rest of the team’s management is hard at work and very loyal. The Cavaliers have not betrayed you and will never betray you.
There will be a lot to tell you in the future, and it promises to be very exciting. We’ll share more with you later.
You should not have to suffer such cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
Here, I make a promise:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win an NBA championship BEFORE the self-titled ’Emperor’ does!"
If you think we were motivated before today, let me tell you, this shameful, selfish, and embarrassing betrayal by our own has driven us to a new level of motivation.
Alright!
I owe an apology to all Cleveland fans.
Six years ago, we made a wrong decision.
We had the chance to keep Su Wan.
Between the turncoat and the real "Chosen One," we chose to retain the turncoat.
"The Son of Cleveland" was given too much of a benefit.
History has shown us that we made the wrong choice.
And terribly so.
Had we not traded away Su Wan, maybe Cleveland would have had a championship by now!
Su Wan said this guy needed guidance, and we chose to believe the turncoat.
Shaquille said he was a man without responsibility, and we chose to believe the turncoat.
And when Vince Carter had a conflict with him, we still chose to believe the turncoat.
Now...
The person we trusted, the fake, cowardly "Chosen One" has taught our children an opposite lesson with his shocking acts of disloyalty.
We once hoped our children would become "him."
That "hope" was terribly wrong!
His ruthless and ungrateful behavior will be cursed by Cleveland.
Cleveland will not let him get away with this betrayal with impunity; all betrayals will be punished.
Just wait and see.
Goodnight, Cleveland.
Tomorrow is a brand new day.
I promise you that our energy, attention, capital, knowledge, and experience will all be dedicated to one thing:
Crushing LeBron and then delivering the long-deserving and long-awaited championship to you...
Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers."
This letter once again pushed LeBron into the eye of the storm.
But the real bombshell came later...
That very morning of the letter’s release, Gilbert appeared on ESPN’s live broadcast.
He disclosed a long-held secret:
"The trade decision for Su Wan was not made by Danny, he had always been advising me to be patient with Su Wan, to have an optimistic expectation for Su Wan’s relationship with LeBron, but LeBron’s then-agent, the Goodwin Brothers, came to me, conveying LeBron’s thoughts that if Su Wan were traded away, he would stay in Cleveland forever. That was his promise to me, to all of Cleveland, and that was the real reason we gave up Su Wan!"
"But now, I’ve been deceived, all of Cleveland has been deceived!"
"He’s not just a coward, but also a selfish liar. Any team that has LeBron should beware of this!"
"He’s an ingrate that cannot be tamed!"
"I hope LeBron gives an explanation to all of Cleveland; we lost the real ’Chosen One’ because of him. He cannot forget this!"
After this broadcast, Su Wan quickly retweeted Gilbert’s comments on his Twitter and added, "As far as I know, Danny Ferry indeed had similar sentiments, but as for me, all I see is the result, they traded me for LeBron!"
It seemed that Su Wan was not trying to defend Danny Ferry.
He was simply stating the facts.
But for Danny Ferry, that was enough!
It was enough to clear his name completely!
It turns out that Danny Ferry didn’t want to trade Su Wan; he saw Su Wan’s potential. It was LeBron who bypassed him, went straight to Gilbert, and with the bargaining chip of "staying in Cleveland forever," had Su Wan traded away...
If Su Wan hadn’t left...
Now, the people of Cleveland had old grudges and new grievances combined.
That very afternoon, LeBron’s house in Cleveland was razed to the ground by a merciless fire.
