Heat Minority Owner Says LeBron James Had David Blatt Fired And ‘Tried The Same With Spo’
Its been posited elsewhere that the only reason Erik Spoelstra remained in his position as head coach during the rocky early days of the Big-3 era in Miami is because he had the backing of Pat Riley. And Tuesday, as the media was still trying to make sense of David Blatts sudden ouster as head coach in Cleveland, Heat minority owner Raanan Katz did his best to perpetuate the narrative that LeBron James was directly responsible, claiming that the two-time champ tried the same tactic with Spoelstra.
Of course, both James and Cavs GM David Griffin have vehemently denied the Kings involvement in the move, and it could also simply be sour grapes on Katz part for James leaving Miami in the lurch back in the summer of 2014. One things for certain: Itll give more fodder to all the LeBron truthers who believe hes the one pulling all the strings within the organization.
