Dan Gilbert's Letter to the Cav Fans.

[dolanski]

Here is the first draft of the letter--lol.

The first draft of Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert's open letter upon LeBron James' departure to Miami. - By Josh Levin - Slate Magazine

 

[Brian Manzella]

Here is the STONE facts.

Here is what I would have said:

Fans of Cleveland:

Our former best player, who was a free agent, is now a member of the Miami Heat.

He helped make us a regular playoff team.

We wish him well, except when we play against him.

We now have the money to go out and get the best players for our team, and we will.

We will win a championship and we will be very aggressive toward that goal.

Thanks,

Brian

Couldnt have happened to a better city. Im trying to find some sympathy for Cleveland.........but i cant! Long live the championship draught!!!!!!!



BROWNS SUCK!!!!!!!!

 

[jay2010]

Celtics still best team in the East

 

[Chip Putterman]

Cleveland has its issues. I played golf there in 2006. Being from the South I expected everyone to say "Hi" to me and make eye-contact. NOTHING!!! Not even a head nod. Let them wallow in their misery.

All this crap is why I just stick with college sports. GO HAWKS!

 

[mgranato]

You don't think the hawks have a payroll?

 

[conkanen]

I can't believe I am saying this but if it's Lakers/Heat in the finals i am cheering hard for Kobe and company.

 

[curtisj76]

Of course there's BIG business in college, just less "crap" if you ask me.

 

[trickyric67]

Just remeber down here in soflo we have Wade county and south beach oh yeah and now lebron!

 

[mgranato]

Now you just need a shooter and a coach. Will Riley be able to resist being the man on the bench?

 

[trickyric67]

I'm ok with Pat Riley on the bench

 

[mgranato]

Here's how a delusional mind works...

Labron came to the holy land this year to see a game. Blown away by being at the home of the winningest team in college basketball, he wanted to become part of the history. What better way than to go to Miami and play for one of the jerseys hanging in the rafters.

 

[trickyric67]

AA arena doesn't have rafters, it does have lots of neon though

 

[mgranato]

I was referencing Riley's jersey hanging in Rupp Areana.

I bet there's neon in AA - the movie "The Bird Cage" comes to mind.

 

[trickyric67]

what happens on south beach, stays on south beach

 

[goodgolf57]

Please stop

Got some Cleveland bashing going on here. Please don't associate sports failure and a round of golf in the area with the general population of the city. That is pointless, unoriginal, mean spirited, and very tiresome.

 

[trickyric67]

?????
What are you talking about?
If anything it was goofing on south beach

 

[Jared Willerson]

Jesse Jackson got his two cents in....said that Dan Gilbert viewed Lebron as a runaway slave and put his life in danger by making his mean spirited, racist remarks...

Wow.
