That would be a big signing - better than Noah, etc.

Hey you got to start somewhere...... Also I think if healthy the knicks are a really good team.

Phil's talk with Batum on a landline:

Phil: Hey, Nic. I like you.

Nic: Thank you, Phil.

Phil: I see you as the Scottie Pippen type for my team.

Nic: Scottie who?

Phil: Nevermind...let's get this thing done. You know, I have 11 rings.

Nic: Okay I'll consider your team for the MAX.

Phil: The Max? But I have 11 rings?

Nic: (starts speaking in French)

Phil: Is that French? I drafted a French player, some cat named Labeyrie, you know him?

There would have been a good 'calling him collect' joke in there 10 years ago, but I suspect some of you young'ins don't even know what that is...

Batum does everything really well and he doesn't need to hog the ball to get his. I'd love him but yeah doesn't sound promising.

This phonecall is gonna last 30 sec. The agent is gonna see who is on the line ask if they are offering the max. Knicks will answer no. End of call. No need to give this guy a free trip and meal. I hate Jimmy D but this is actually a smart decision.

Unless an actual negotiation will occur, what is the point of a meeting with a slide deck?

The second Noah signs, the next tweet will be Batum no longer taking calls from Knicks.

The big question here is if he'll do a video chat. It's key that he sees the straw hat.

I do not see us matching the contract offers Charlotte or Dallas will offer.
We could probably do $15M per year at best, after the Noah deal, and that is less than what Charlotte or Dallas or LA could offer.
