Petrie has mental issues, tried to sabotage the Cavs?

Sounds like a well thought out story by a Cavs fan who is trying to deny their own front office ineptitude. Ferry probably tried to fleece Geoff so maybe Geoff played some mindgames with him at that time. Outside of that situation, I don't know why Petrie would sabotage any other trades, unless Seattle or Chicago was giving up a piece he really really wanted.
Probably Joe Smith. Geoff has a thing for overpaid old power forwards who don't do much.

Clearly --Petrie is insane. That explains so much. 
There may be a kernel of truth that got that whole rant started -- because of his failure to commit to a rebuild I could see Geoff being unsure of how he wanted to proceed with Bibby last year and changing his mind/shifting his feet/demands when the Cavs were trying to get him. Throw in possible Maloof shifting winds and the generally unattractive Cavs trade pieces and I could see that. In the last couple of years any remote sign of something positive, no matter how isolated and irrelevant, seems to have been seized upon by Geoff as an excuse to do nothing. So he might have been hard to pin down on the Bibby front. Every 3 game win streak could be enough to make him hesitate and back off. So I hold that part open as possible.
But the rest of this guy's post is pretty laughable, even if he is who/what he claims to be. Yes Geoff is well known as an insane power hungry vindictive S.O.B. You know that's always the ebst way to convince other GMs to deal with you. And how exactly does one go about sabotaging another team's deal anyway? All I can think of is by suggesting your own deal for one of the players involved. And gee -- I mean obviously Geoff would only do such a thing to "get" the Cavs. Couldn't have anything to do with efforts on behalf of his own team. Nope. All a conspiracy to "get" the Cavs.

Yep. Cavs fan/person unhappy with their situation needs a scapegoat. To bad it may try to be one of the nicest guys in the league, respected by everyone.

I can read GP's game plan from a mile away:
Play mind games and screw around with the Cavs front office; leave them confused and discombobulated so nothing worthwhile changes with the Cavs; this leaves King James completely frustrated with years of being the lone man on the cavs and he begins to demand a move out of Cleveland; just then, we have a ton of free cap space and GP sweeps in to bring the King to the Kings.
It all fits together so perfectly.
GP is a genius.

So basically it's really been Petrie who's been the true mind bender the whole time and NOT Phil Jackson? Whoa. He is scary bad good.
It could be that - or it may just be the case that people in Ohio do not understand references to chickens, the moon or oodling.
Um? And we do?

Oh please, now everyone works for a front office and has sources. I cant think of one reason Geoff would try to sabotage a deal with cleveland and Seattle after he already traded bibby away. If this guy on the cavs forum wants to make something up then he should at least be a tad better at it.
Cleveland offered us Daniel Gibson. I'd take him and Gooden over the garbage players we got anyday.

That appears to be information regarding the rookie challenge. That's really not much different than hitting a few consective 3s in shootaround.

Kings need another shoot first PG about as much as the Hawks need another forward.
I, too, want a pass-first PG, I think we need one badly. But, since Geoff doesn't seem to be very interested in those, I wouldn't rule out someone like Gibson. At least he has shown that he can pass the ball. Instead, we have Douby, who gets about as many assists as Yinka Dare.
