Do you like Atlanta’s addition of Jamal Crawford? – Roger S.
Umm, no. How does this phone call go, exactly?
Larry Riley: ‘Hi, this message is for Atlanta general manager Rick Sund. Hi Rick, this is Larry Riley of the Golden State Warriors. I realize you have Joe Johnson at shooting guard already, but how would you like Jamal Crawford to steal his shots and add an egregious contract to your payroll? All I’m asking for is some cap relief in Speedy Claxton and a young player with potential and a rookie contract in Acie Law. Let me know what you think.’
(Phone ringing the next day)
Riley: Hello?
Sund: Hey, Larry, this is Rick Sund.
Riley: Hey, Rick. I’m so sorry about that call. I did five sake bombers at the Ra down the road, and a couple buddies of mine dared me into drunk dialing you. I know you would never consider that offer.
Sund: I’ll take it.
Riley: Uhh, OK. Cool. I think this will work out for both teams…YES! WHAT A SUCKER! CAN YOU BELIEVE HE SAID YES?!?!?
Sund: Larry, I’m still here. You didn’t hang up, you put me on speakerphone.
Riley: Oh, sorry. Like I said, this should boost both clubs. I’ll send over the proposal before you come to your senses, er, I mean, so you can sign it.
