Thing is, as much as I would love Battier, we ain't gonna get him. We can offer cap relief, but so can lots of other teams who also have much more attractive sweeteners. You can't really complain about it, but our draft picks aren't exactly the most attractive in the league! We don't have the kinds of younger, cheap talent that they might look for in return (outside of Perk and Rondo, who aren't going anywhere).
So, they might trade Battier, but it'll be somewhere else.
