Lebron left because of Lance Blanks. I guess he had beef with someone in Lebron's posse.

Sarver probably didn't see the l in his last name and probably thought he was hiring a banker.

I'm confused here, is he any good for causing disagreements with key star players? Does that mean he's a hot headed dick or just standing ground? I've got mixed opinions, then again LeBron is a drama queen.
