I Am Gilbert, Hear Me Roar (or single-handedly ruin my organization)

Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has just authored his legacy, and it has nothing to do with leading the Cavs to a championship.   He will forever be remembered as the guy that not only let LeBron James get away, but acted like a petulant child in the process.  Gilbert is an owner; his job is to be a calculating, unemotional guy that focuses solely on improving the business of the Cavaliers.  Re-pricing LeBron Fatheads to cost $17.41, the year America's most infamous traitor Benedict Arnold was born, was just the latest in a series of almost inconceivable and certainly stomach turning moves by Gilbert.
