If Joe Johnson is tired of losing and wants out we could give Shane, Mike James, Luther/Snyder and a pick. But he wanted to have a "bigger role" Or Battier + Snyder (Maybe a pick too) for Artest, if the Kings want to deal him.. Crawford/Richardson from New York if theyre ready to deal players.
Some are going to say that I don't know anything about basketball, that trading Shane Battier means trading away the best defensive player on a team that is struggling to play defense, that Shane brings all of the intangibles. Well, those people are wrong. Shane Battier scored 4 points tonight. 4 points in 42 minutes. He has failed to log double digits in 12 out of 18 games this season. The guy is a non-factor. He is a glorified Ryan Bowen.
I thought Yao has no value in RA's game, I was wrong as Yao is good at offense. Battier and Rafer are useless for RA's game.
