Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert insists he has no regrets about the fiery, open letter he penned to LeBron James after he decided to bolt his hometown team for Miami as a free-agent in 2010.

"I would've reworded the language in The Letter, but I don't regret sending a letter out to our fan base," Gilbert recently told ProBasketballTalk.com. "If I had to do it again, for sure, I would've reworded several parts of it. But I think it definitely needed a strong statement from me at that time. I keep a couple binders on my desk and I have a binder of the responses to The Letter from the people of Cleveland. For some reason, it appealed to this generational Cleveland thing. If you want to talk about books, someone should publish all the responses to The Letter. It was like, 'We're from Cleveland and we've been rejected."

In his writing,Gilbert infamously chastised James for being a coward and later lambasted him with the claim "I personally guarantee that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win an NBA championship before the self-titled former King wins one. You can take that to the bank."

With James able to become a free-agent again this summer and the Cavs having max cap space, some have speculated a reunion of some sort between the four-time league MVP and his boyhood fan base could be a possibility, but after Gilbert's latest assault that again seems a dead issue.

"You never know for sure, but I haven't felt it or been aware of it," Gilbert told ProBasketballTalk when asked if he felt all his negative words about James might be having an overall hurtful impact on the franchise. "People said nobody would come here, that's not true. Do I think any players are going to not come here because Dan wrote a letter three or four years ago? I don't think so."
