    Bingo! Every championship team will require a Battier type player.

    Scola, without a doubt.

    If not Scola, then prob Mark Bryant, Tracy Murray or Othella "My Fella" Harrington.

    The correct answer is Scola.

    Seeing that it is a role player, and we need a stretch 4, I would go with a young Robert Horry.

    I have another pick. I would give the late Eddie Griffin a shot. He had potential to be a good player.

    Mad Max.

    But if we're filling a position, Thorpe.

    1) Sam Casell
    2) Robert Horry*

    Two players that were born to play big games.

    Sam would be the perfect third scorer. Was clutch. Had mid range game. Was a threat from 3 point. Was excellent on pick and roll plays and generally creating plays for others.

    Horry would be the perfect post feeder when needed and would provide the dealdy outside shooting in playoffs. He would spread the floor for Dwight or other penetrators. Was also fantastic as a help defender (steals, blocks, and generally very high defensive Basketball IQ).

    *playoffs only...a bum during regular season

    You mean when they were at the veteran stage of their career?

    A role player, not a star?

    Mario Elie or Deke

    Do people really consider Scola or Thorpe role players? Scola got a $9mil/yr contract. Thorpe would've gotten David West money today easily. Or am I getting the definition wrong here?

    Names I thought of are Battier, Maxwell, and Horry. I like Maxwell the best, but unfortunately he'd never agree to backup Harden. So toss up between Horry and Battier. I'll take either.
