It's like the Government owning a private corporation and after agreeing to sell it off to someone pulls the deal off the table as the government and sells it to someone that came along after only because it's more beneficial. Sh*t doesn't make sense.

I blame the Lakers for letting go of Lamar so quickly for nothing in return though and I blame him for not understanding the most basic rule to the game, you're a commodity and it's all part of the game.

The letter to him might have been part of the reason, where as I still think that he was unhappy about the decisions made with the lockout, he blames greedy agents for making a labor deal that many players were not happy with, with in fact he could have negotiated a different contract.
