It’s pure Dan Gilbert. Surprised he didn’t send out a public statement in Comic Sans.

yeah I would love to hear the real story behind it, because it doesn't make much sense

@klandwehr don’t feel TOO bad for him. He still gets a $15m payday and is now free to go to another team that needs someone who can coach a superstar.

@cheesemaker Not feeling sorry for him, I just think it was weird and didn’t make much sense.

Itchy trigger finger after years of success with LeBron. How long do I’ll Luke Walton last if he doesn’t start winning with LeBron?

@joelmearig I feel like they'll be fairly patient, assuming the team at least makes the playoffs this year. Just surprised at the apparent lack of loyalty in the league today.

@klandwehr yes, I agree with that. Dan Gilbert is a completely incompetent owner. Turns out you don't have to be smart to be rich... :)

@cheesemaker of course being overly patients is also really bad (see the Cleveland Browns). Umm, maybe there is something in the water in Cleveland.

So true. Definitely become a “grass is greener” league when it comes to loyalty at all levels.

Looks like patience from the Lakers’ front office seems to be growing short.
