Time to disown Carson Palmer

I think Lebron was willing to return to Cleveland because after saying "no" to his demands the first time and seeing him win with a franchise that listened to him the Cavs accepted his demands and did as he asked and won the championship for their troubles.  That seems like an amount of self-awareness and willingness to change that Mike Brown doesn't exhibit.

Yes, fans and the owner turning on him hurt (I recall the owner vowing they'd win a championship without him and then they proceeded to be one of if not the worst team in the league), but the main thing is that they were willing to give him what he wanted if he came back.  I'd wager seeing the owner do things that show he is trying to win is more important to Lebron than his feelings, but I'm just assuming.


Oddly, it would likely just fry Palmer's bacon if MB immediately went out and built a practice facility and hired a GM and upped the scouting department as soon as Palmer left, but alas he did nothing of the sort.
