mnewballer21 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 that wouldn't be smart for the magic, they are looking to keep battie because they are thin down low...take him out of that trade and add someone else if you want that to be possible at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLO 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 If we give up Battie it doesnt make us any deeper in our frontcourt. We get a big and lose a big. It doesnt make to much sense to me since we are looking to get deeper. And Ratliff is very old and I dont know how much more hes got in the tank. Plus I think we could find a better trade for that.

DLO 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 And with Turk now that IMO is wayyyyy to much just for Ratliff and fillers. We can find a much better trade oppurtunity with Turk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLO 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 What did Battie do to make him so bad? He did what he was supposed to last year. I was satisfied with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamthe1_2007 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 DLO im not mad at Battie. I like Battie a lot. Just trying to free up cap. I know a lot of peeps are hating on Battie contract. I think Ratliff very much the same with a little better D than Battie. But not hating on Bat-Man just trying to free up space. I really think we need to find the missing link to take us over the top. Dont know who or what it is yet but I feel we need 1 maybe 2 guys.(1 bench, 1 starter) We need cap space. We cant just keep adding pieces with MLE over the next 5-6 years. That would be a huge mistake unless we find a solid 3rd option for Dwight & Shard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
