As your first offseason please do the following: fire the entire organziation that you just bought.

Do you really want Paxson the guy who drafted a player whose high school coach said the followoing:

• Ian O'Connor has written an insightful new book about New York City playground legend and Portland Trail Blazers rookie Sebastian Telfair. The Jump includes an interesting passage for Cavaliers fans. In a chapter discussing the high rate of prep players going to the NBA, Oak Hill Academy coach Steve Smith had this to say about former pupil DeSagana Diop:
``He had them all fooled; they all thought he was the next Shaq. Two years before DeSagana was drafted, he couldn't make a left-handed layup. He had no upper body strength and didn't run the floor well. He beat the system. If he'd gone to college, he might never have been picked in the first round.''
Please bring in a new staff and your 300+ million dollar investment might actually pay off
Let it also be know that me and others (i.e. Karma and plenty more) have been saying the same things about this team when we were winning. These are not thoughts that are bubbling to the surface just because we're on a bad losing streak

Did you really write this email to Dan Gilbert? If not, you should send it to him, because Silas is one of the worst coaches in the NBA.
