Letter from Cavs Owner


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 ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

People can say whatever they want about Lebron, and personally I could care less because basketball is insignificant in my world.

But what I DO know is that Dan Gilbert has to be the biggest baby that I have ever seen in my life!! Are you freaking kidding me Dan?!?

All Lebron wants to do is win and all you had to do over the 5 years that you owned the team was to put some talent around him. But instead of spending to the cap in an effort to win the Championship that you claim to want so much, you just lined your pockets with the revenues that Lebron generated for you.

Dan Gilbert has no one to blame but himself for James leaving.......it isn't about the $$ for Lebron it is about winning and quite frankly, the Cleveland Cava-whiners did nothing to help Lebron win in Cleveland.

I seriously can't believe what Gilbert wrote. I'd expect something like that from a 17 year-old girl not a grown, successful businessman

Here's hoping that the Cavs tank BIG TIME and that Dan Gilbert loses his shirt in the process.

I don't have the link handy... but if you actually get to see the letter itself, it is written in Comic Sans script.

Oye.
