Really meant backup four, but you get my point.. Maybe we will see Battier at the 4 w/ a combo of Martin/Ariza/Budinger on the wings just like Carl Herrera mentioned.
There is also a hidden gem in all this, and his name is Hilton Armstrong! The dude is a solid 7 footer who has a decent outside shot and freakish athletic ability. Don't sleep on him! Morey did say he wanted a young athletic big man playing next to Yao, thats why the deal with Haywood and Dalembert didn't make sense to me because both were old and overpaid.
ROFL, totally agree, Scola is still beast, wut the hell everyone is crying about Carl while Scola has been really good entire season.. sorry Scola > landry lol
I'm a little surprised at all the Battier talk. Just because he's somewhat "expendable" or redundant, doesn't mean we should trade him. I know Ariza and Budinger can pick up some of what he does, but I don't think Battier is an easy replacement. IMHO, trading away Landry will have less of an effect on the team than trading away Battier. I'm not opposed to trading Battier, but I just think we should be getting more than a backup or even OK PF. We should be looking at packaging him with some other pieces for Bosh or Amare. I'd be quite content with the lineup: Brooks/Lowry Martin/CBud/JTaylor Ariza/Battier Scola/(Hill or whoever else Morey brings in) Hayes/Anderson/Armstrong
