The day (if it comes to pass) Lebron bolts, the Cavs franchise immediately drops 50%+ in value and would kill Gilbert in regards to the luxery tax. While basketball might have taken a foothold in Cleveland during these Lebron years, his absence would create a sinkhole in both profitabilty and Gilbert's financial flexibility to keep a good roster. <br /><br />Also, with the presence of new Chinese investers as well as creating a market in the mainland, the Cavs better have one of the biggest backout agreements ever with Kenny Huang if Bron goes to NY. Considering his group owns 15% of the franchise, how could they make this deal if they didn't have some indication from Bron's camp that he would be in Cleveland at least for the short team (2-3 years)? I mean, if they didn't know he was staying, they HAVE to understand that once Lebron leaves, that contract goes to shit and they lose a TON of money. <br /><br />Personally, I think Lebron re-upping was more or less set in stone the day Gilbert sold that piece to Huang. No way no how does his investment group (which also owns part of the Rockets and is responsible for marketing Yao) take that big of a risk without some guarantee from Gilbert/Bron that he would remain in Cleveland.The Other Bennoreply@blogger.com
