Dear Daryl Morey,

I realize you just amnestied Luis Scola, one of your franchise’s better players since Hakeem Olajuwon left, as part of a fire sale intended to clear enough space for Dwight Howard. I realize cap space is vital to you right now. I realize you definitely wouldn’t want Keyon Dooling, Mickael Pietrus or any of the other spare parts you’d need to take from Boston in order to make a Courtney Lee sign-and-trade work. I understand all of this, but hear me out. You used to work for the Boston Celtics. They kick-started your career, and you now have the job every male on earth wishes he did. You should want to help the Celtics. But even if you’re looking out for Numero Uno, I have an offer that extends beyond the basketball court.

If you take Dooling, Pietrus, JaJuan Johnson and a first-round pick in exchange for Lee, I’ll move to Houston and do the following:

1) Buy you Dunkin Donuts every morning. Do they even have Dunkin Donuts’ in Houston? Shit, if they don’t, I’ll build one with my bare hands. Just be careful, I’m not a natural handy-man. My home-made Dunkin Donuts might have leaks during rain storms and might crumble to the ground like a flopping Derek Fisher the first time winds reach greater than 10 MPH. But every city needs a Dunks, so I’ll give that to you. There’s no better way to start the day than with coffee and a dozen glazed Munchkins, all hand-delivered to you by the Celtics blogger who drilled eight 3-pointers in one half the other day and built a mother-fucking Dunkin Donuts with his bare hands.

2) Mow your lawn. Every day, Daryl! I’ll have it shaved tighter than Kevin Garnett’s dome piece. You’ll be able to use it as a putting green. Mowing the lawn is worse than going to the goddamn dentist, but I’ll do anything for Mr. Lee.

3) Do your laundry. I’ll even fold it, and folding laundry is always, without competition, the worst 15 minutes of my week. No more stains, Daryl. No more growing piles of dirtiness in the hamper which stink up your room and cause your wife (girlfriend? significant other? latest one-night stand?) to claim that your room smells like a foot, and that you live like a caveman. Believe me, comments like that hurt. (Sorry, Alison. I didn’t think it was so bad you would vomit. )

4) Kidnap Toney Douglas and force him to retire. Think the movie Celtic Pride, with slightly different motives. I know you just traded for Douglas, Daryl, but don’t tell me you actually want him on the team. His shooting percentage last year wouldn’t even have led the American League in batting average. Terrific Knicks blogger Seth Rosenthal once wrote of Douglas, “I can’t imagine another team being willing to part with a living, breathing human in exchange for a guy whose value is so low.” You don’t want that, Daryl. It’s kidnapping time.

5) Fuck, Daryl. Now I’m mad. If you were willing to acquire Douglas, Josh Harrellson and Jerome Jordan from the Knicks in a sign-and-trade for Marcus Camby, can’t you just take Dooling, Pietrus, Johnson and a pick or two? Why am I even offering to do all these household chores?

Please, just let me know what it will take for you to send Lee to Boston. Begging doesn’t look very good on me.

    Jay, do yourself and your career a favor and lose the profanity. Your posts are your resume and while we all swear as much as any sailor ever did, putting it down in a quality post only demeans your work and your value. Kind of like making a lame FB post. If you want a career in journalism then I suggest towing the standards line. That said, I think we should hang onto MP and not let him get away. His defense is too good and after his knee surgery his offensive game will be much better as he’s great driving to the hoop. He’s also a pretty decent rebounder. Go Cs…get Lee!

      P.S. Welcome to the Jet. the Cs just got better and with JG and CW back from their injuries those 8 mins from the Finals look a whole lot better for us to get through. Bring on the Heat and the Bulls, our team is loaded whether we get Lee or not. Great draft picks too! Go Cs…

        I’d even contend that the Knicks and Nets are better than th Bulls this year. Rose is not going to be 100% and Hamilton is still injury prone, as is Deng. Boozer disappears a lot and Noah is injury prone as well. Asik is gone as well as Watson. They’ll be good but not the bulls of old.

    Yeah I mean Lee would be great but I’m still kind of disappointed we missed out on other good backups like Ramon sessions and Aaron brooks. Btw Jay have you heard the new Nas album? People are saying that it’s his best since Illmatic.

      Sessions isn’t all that good, otherwise the Lakers would have tried to keep him (even as a back-up to Nash). The Cs have KD who knows the system and will likely bring him back if we do not get Lee. Go Cs…

      Who can trust this new generation of hip hop critics… There will never be another ILLMATIC…EVER. Glad the deal is done on the Jet Miami Heat Killa.

      Love the new Nas album. It’s old school and he raps like he’s still a hungry, young dude.
