By now I'm sure you've heard about the ridiculous email sent by Portand Trailblazers president Larry Miller to the other 29 NBA teams, in which he threatens to sue any team that attempts to sign free agent forward Darius Miles. On Monday at 10 A.M., I will post on Above the Law an article discussing how that email could be seen as invitation for NBA teams to collude against Miles, as well as why the email may ultimately spell career doom for Miller and his legal counsel (if he indeed had any).

Sports and the Law: Is Portland President Larry Miller the Newest "Jail Blazer"?

Two owners have "Replied All" to the e-mail. This is great.
(The response from the Cavs:

That is a great response. I also couldn't agree more with Gilbert. Portland sounds like the sore loser at the playground that just takes his ball and leaves.
On a side note, the reply all feature can be killer if used mistakenly. I am not sure if Gilbert used it by mistake, but always be sure to double check who exactly you are replying to. The possible litigation consequences of the reply all feature must have GC's across the country trembling at any sign of trouble.
