The post was ultimately deleted, and Smith swiftly took to Twitter to let everyone know he was hacked and isn’t leaving the Cavs.

Idk what’s going on with social media but this is crazy. I’m not leaving the #Cavs

As you probably recall, Smith’s Twitter account tweeted “Cavs in 7” after Cleveland lost a heartbreaking Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors during the 2017 NBA Finals, which was also blamed on a hacker.

Smith might want to think about stepping up his cyber security game in the future…
