OK, Mark.

In the first real test (to give Jason time to become acclimated) against the Spurs, Jason is not impressive in crunch time and was not even on the court for the last 34.5 seconds.

If he is the guy who will dish the ball to your shooters for easy shots — he needs to be in the game at crunch time.

This team with Devin had a difficult time closing out teams. You brought in Kidd to resolve that issue. Avery repeated that mantra.

This sends a terrible message to Jason and the team.

Avery needs to step up, admit he exercised poor judgment, and resolve this issue, or you\’re screwed.

Although I wish you would post something about how realistic your desire to buy the Chicago Cubs and that deal really is. I continually hear rumors to that effect, but never knwo how much faith to put in them. As a lifelong Cub Fan and Wrigleyville Bar owner, I could think of nothing that I would like to see happen more. If your desire to buy the Cubs is real, then I would assume you may also have an inkling to get involved in the Wrigleyville Bar/Restaurant scene as well. If this is the case I would like to talk to you about making this a reality. Please contact me at avi@wrigleydugout.com at your earliest convenience, as I would like to discuss the possibility of making Cuban\'s Cubby Hole (a three story bar with a rooftop deck across from Wrigley Field) a reality. Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you in the future.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Avi Kopelman<br>Owner<br>The Dugout Sports Bar & Grill<br>950 W.
