The complete BS open letter to LeBron James from Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert is one thing (albeit very sad).
Gilbert was reacting on emotion, and he never should have published an open-letter to fans in that state of mind (regardless of him waking up today still pissed off).

2010 NBA Draft Grades: Drafting Patrick Patterson Gives Houston Rockets an A
Posted: 25th June 2010 by Denton Ramsey in NBA
General Manager Darryl Morey has done it once again.
