Somebody needs to talk to this young man and tell him that there's no way
he's going anywhere to start/play big minutes. You keep Battie because of
all the career backups that have come through this organization, and God
knows there's been a ton of them, and unfortunately, most of them started,
he's the one that could actually make a difference in a game "coming off
the bench." Right now he looks like he could develop, after a lot of work,
into a Rasheed Wallace-like player. But...if he thinks he's worth a lot of
money because he thinks he could/should be starting somewhere...introduce
him to Donald Sterling.

If the Heat don't beat the Knicks or don't make it to the Eastern
Conference Finals...keep Pitino away from the phone if Riley calls. Riley
will call...and Ricky will get taken.
