"You do a lot of groveling and try to paint the best picture possible. You have a relationship with players and you just hope that ... you know it's a business decision. That's what they have to do. But it makes you feel comfortable that if they choose us, that there's a role and what his role will be and how much we like him and think of his game -- just normal stuff you try to sell. But at the end of the day, they've just got to be comfortable with every aspect of playing, who his teammates are and the business side, the money. When you line those up, then great. If something outweighs the other, you never know. You never know how they make their decision."

If the Knicks miss out on Jamal Crawford (and Shawne Williams and everybody else), it will be for lack of available funds, not for lack of effort.

Isola:

Frank Isola: Jamal Crawford has ruled out the Knicks….. “Shawne Williams please pick up the white courtesy phone.” 1 minute ago

Get poop now.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
