He is right that James' actions this week past are narcissistic and self-promotional. Just sign with a team, hold the press conference and move on. All of this other nonsense just makes Lebron look stupid.

That being said, the rest of that letter was just an amazing display of selfish stupidity on the part of the team owner. He had James for SEVEN (!) years. Guess what? That's no longer than NHL teams get to keep their players, and it is one year more than MLB gets their players when they make the show. Free agency is part of the beast, and most guys will take money or the chance at a title ahead of home town loyalty.
