The hilarity of the letter isn't evident when copy and pasted...the OWNER of a PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM typed up an OPEN LETTER TO FANS in MOTHERFUCKING COMIC SANS! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Also, his credibility as an owner is shot so good luck signing free agents, Cavaliers.

His signature on the letter says "Dan". Nothing else. He's like Madonna when signing a document.

That probally really motivates the fans. If Miller left us ( :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: ) (and was from Buffalo) and Darcy/Tom wrote a letter like this, i'd be running around HSBC burning Miller jerseys and would be pumped! But I can't relate to this story because I don't follow anything to do about basketball, so this is the best way to relate to it. :P

I think Cleveland is taking this out of hand. James wants to win a championship so he went to a team where he knew he could...

Cleveland isn't pissed that he left.

They're pissed that he went on national TV to do it.

Well I really don't feel sorry for them, you had the guy for seven freaking years and you couldn't build a team worthy of winning a championship!? Didn't sign any big name free agents, didn't trade for any other big name players to play along side with him; James was essentially I'd say 85-90% of that team and it was shown... come playoff time the past 2-3 years nobody else has been able to pick up the slack if he's had an off night or just in general.

Take a look at boston/LA. Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Rondo or Kobe, Gasol, Fisher. 3-4 Big names that together can produce and win championships. The biggest thing Cleavland did was sign Shaq when he was pretty much worth nothing due to age/injuries

So you're OK with the utterly classless, egomaniacal, self-agrandizing, disrespectful way LeBron James went about it? Yea OK.

Well as I posted in the other forum discussing this matter, I agreed with you fully that the way he went about doing all this and making his decision was wrong and unnecessary

I don't like the way that he did it at all... This letter is just a reaction to that decision.
