Scathing Letter from Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert
Whew
A Letter From Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert
Print RSS Cavs Insider Discuss
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER

Re: Dan Gilbert's open letter to Cavs fans
DAMN! What an awesome read. I've never seen an owner be that fumed and deservedly so. Screw LeBron.

So is this guy going to ship Mo and Jamison to the Lakers for peanuts?

Wojnarowski put it nicely though:
[QUOTE] Cavs owner goes on and on ripping LeBron James, but the letter is missing a P.S.to the fans: "I'm sorry I enabled him all those years." [/QUOTE]
