As talks for that blockbuster, four-team proposed Dwight Howard deal have apparently stalled, it was reported on Tuesday that one of the involved teams — the Cavaliers — have become the hang up in the trade. One report says the Cavs are completely out. Another says they’re just wavering. Either way, it appears the Cavaliers are in some way holding the proposed trade hostage.
That’s no surprise to one anonymous NBA GM, who told Fox Sports’ Sam Amico that the Cavaliers have a reputation of being difficult:
East GM says Cavs least-favorite to deal with. “They irritate the crap out of everyone. But that means they’re being smart. I applaud them.”

A team owned by Dan Gilbert “irritating the crap out of everyone”? I am shocked.
