Dan Gilbert will pay for his comments following the departure of LeBron James – to the tune of $100,000. Stern fined the Cavaliers for Gilbert’s statements:
Gilbert is attending the owners' meetings in Las Vegas, where NBA commissioner David Stern said Monday he was fining the Cavaliers $100,000 for the comments.
"He was completely correct in expressing his disappointment," Stern said, adding that Gilbert's statement and the sentiments he expressed in a follow-up interview with the AP were "a little bit extreme."
That tells me that Stern really didn’t like Gilbert’s assertion that the NBA’s two-time MVP was throwing games in the playoffs. Needless to say, using the ‘Q’ word is a big-time no-no in the NBA, especially when talking about a figure as big-time as James.

FUNNY
Gilbert should have kept his mouth shut, but in all fairness, he was on the receiving end of the most egomaniacal display you will ever see and his net worth probably fell by $50-$100M.
As for Lebron, the King continued his national 2010 Disappointment Tour further ruining his reputation this weekend with stops in Haiti, New Orleans, Arizona and Akron…read about it here.
It is really FUNNY.
