Today Yang Yi talked about James in his latest podcast. He believed that before "Decision 1", the Cavaliers treated James like a son serving his father.

Yang Yi: James was the savior of the Cavaliers at that time. He took the Cavaliers from a bad team at the bottom to the finals and to a championship contender. At that time, the Cavaliers were absolutely dominated by James. As long as you stay in this contract, you can sign whatever you want. We will match the price on the market and follow the rules, and we will never give you less than one point. Then, as long as I can find people on the market, I will do it at any cost. I will get you whoever I can. I will get you whoever you want. I only want to get them. Of course, if someone doesn’t want to come, or the team doesn’t want to change, I have no idea. As long as I can get it, I will definitely get it for you. At that time, James was completely in control of the Cavaliers. To put it bluntly, I could do whatever I wanted with you, and I was walking sideways in the club. When the Cavaliers met James at the club, their treatment of James was a bit reversed. It was like a son seeing his father being so obedient.

I didn’t say too much about the knight at that time, right? Otherwise, James "decided 1" in the end, and now he has to say "decision 1" because "decision 2" really came out, haha. Is it because after "Decision 1", Cavaliers owner Gilbert was so angry and lost his temper? Hey, that's like crazy. Very few bosses are that angry. The boss became anxious and flew into a rage. I have never seen any bosses in the NBA who are truly decent people. Gilbert was like crazy at that time. From his state, you can roughly guess how wronged he felt, or how emotionally hurt he was. What he meant made me almost kneel down for you. Are you playing with me like this? Even though I respect you so much, you think I’m a piece of shit! Right? This time I (James) will let Gilbert see if I can still play 2.0 like this, right? In this Cavaliers 1.0 era, James is completely in control of this team.
