I don't think the deal is Williams for Ariza and/or Battier, it is simply saying that Warriors are interested in acquiring either of the forwards. If we do anything with the Warriors need to try get Anthony Randolph. Which would also make Hill or Patterson tradeable? That's a fair deal, Anthony Randolph and a player to be named for Battier (or Ariza), Hill (or Patterson), and possibly a future 2nd Rounder. Especially, if the Warriors are asking for mostly Battier or Ariza.
battier for marvin williams is fine with me, but marvin can not shoot and actually has a decent form. Ariza for Randolph Straight up
ATL is trying to deal Marvin Williams to Golden State. Golden State is interested in adding a small forward and they might call Houston if Ariza or Battier are on the trading block. I know it doesn't say the Hawks are trying to trade Marvin to Houston, I just thought of it as a good idea.
Warriors are interested in Williams, Battier, and Ariza. They're not trading Williams who's with the Hawks.
