The following is the email in its entirety:

Commissioner,

It would be a travesty to allow the Lakers to acquire Chris Paul in the apparent trade being discussed.

This trade should go to a vote of the 29 owners of the Hornets.

Over the next three seasons this deal would save the Lakers approximately $20 million in salaries and approximately $21 million in luxury taxes. That $21 million goes to non-taxpaying teams and to fund revenue sharing.

I dont understand the jealousy. We were giving up PAU GASOL & ODOM. Just 4yrs ago they were livid that we got him now hes not good enough to give up. They are always gonna hate us...
