    Houston WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

    that's too bad, we gave up a potential superstar (who could replace T-Mac if his back problems are more serious than we know) for a guy who can hit some open shots...WOW...just WOW.

    Hes not even all that consistent with the shot.

    If anything his best asset is his defense.

    but still.

    IThis is the most disappointing thhing since missing the playoffs

    If this is true than I say to LES,,, YOU are not building a Championship team!
    If this is the best that the Front office can give you then OUT OUT OUT OUT with CD, JVG and Morey because they will ruin the ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Battier is not a step forward, he is not athletic and certainly is not the third scorer that we have been expecting!!!!!!!!!! You cant trust the Grizz, look what they sent us in the name of Stromile Swift. :D

    I don't think it's anywhere as bad as some of yall are making it out to be. Even all the guys on ESPN said it was going to be 2-3 years before Gay became anything, Battier fills a HUGE need NOW!!

    I love his game and he compliments Yao and TMac perfectly. I know he is not a freak athlete and not a young guy with potential, but it's a nice deal.

    Now, did they use their $4.2 TE for this deal?

    This is a nightmare. I didn't think CD could screw up another lotto pick.

    I like the trade. Battier is an all-around, proven player. His high BB IQ will be much appreciated in our team.
