    Dear Rip City, Thank you!

    Those two words on a page don't begin to express the gratitude I have for the opportunity the entire Trail Blazers organization, my teammates, the media, and you fans gave me. The past nine years have been a blessing, and I will take all of the valuable memories with me as I head back home.

    As I'm sure you can respect, my decision was a very personal one but not one I took lightly. Although I will be wearing a different uniform the next time I come back to Portland, please know that I will always hold my time in a Blazers uniform near and dear to my heart.

    Your friend, LA

    This screams PR, and not the good kind. Nothing in it sounds genuine.

    I love how 9 years garnered 2 pathetic paragraphs. All heart there.

    Can we put "return to sender" on it?

    That has to be one of the sorriest attempts at a 'Dear John' letter that a player has ever put out.

    His PR group probably just copied and pasted some other dudes goodbye because nothing in it was original
