The next day, Daniel Gilbert met with LBJ and his team. Only one year was left on LBJ's rookie contract, and he needed to seal the early renewal deal this summer.
But no matter what Daniel Gilbert said or promised, LBJ's final response was still the same: "We only want a 1+1 contract."
At that moment, Daniel Gilbert didn't know what LBJ was thinking.
He couldn't see through him at all.
The essence of a 1+1 contract is to force the team to strengthen, keeping it competitive.
Yet the Cleveland Cavaliers were already doing their utmost to support LBJ, never slacking.
And LBJ was always getting into scandals, which was the fundamental difference between him and Roger.
Even when Roger signed a 1+1 contract with the Warriors, nothing scandalous ever came out.
And LBJ?
Today he's going to the Nets, tomorrow to Los Angeles, having more gossip surrounding him than Hollywood actresses.
What more does he want?
