    Here's how this thread would have looked 5 years ago on a Memphis board:

    Taking Thabeet is a negative in my view. To me, taking Thabeet's deal with $5+ million owed for 2011-12 is like taking on Jared Jeffries' contract in last year's deal. Yeah, OK, we'll take Thabeet for an expiring contract that can impact your team... now what are you actually going to give us?

    Would their first rounder satisfy you? Mayo? Neither really excite me.

    Awwww how cute!

    It's a business.

    They need to ship him out if they can get something of value to help the team in the future.

    When I went to look up some of his stats, I noticed Hollinger's scouting on him...

    That's not the most promising description of a "project." Especially one for Battier? I'd rather take picks, even crappy ones. Now Mayo gets added and it gets interesting.

    It's of no use. We need a center,not a long term project.

    I completely agree - unless Morey and his team of scouts and analysts disagree.

    I'm all for trading Shane, but the bigger issue to me is getting rid of Miller and his contract.

    I thought this team was full of assets though, why would you have to get rid of an asset?

    I think I found what kind of assets we have.

    What if we trade Shane to the Grizz and he turns into a superstar?

    Trade Battier for Thabeet? Yes please. Now I wouldn't throw in Lee for Mayo. Would Mayo be a back up for Martin? He wants to be a starter again, and he'll be in the exact same situation he was in Memphis.

    The day Battier becomes a star is the day Stromile Swift and Shawn Kemp comes back to the NBA and win championships together starting at Center and Power Forward.
