Twitter / Chris Mannix: Houston-Boston deal involv … via kwout

Yeah, that's what I thought. The C's just have nothing of any real value to Houston.

Ok boys… let's cue up the next rumor.

FUUUUUUUUUCK! That woulda sealed Banner 18 in my eyes. Battier plays killer D, esp on Kobe.

Chips are Nate, Quis, JO, Bradley, Luke, draft picks. Some combo of the these should get it done. If you were Houston, would you really turn down two #1 picks, Nate, Quis and Bradley for Battier? If it’s a two for one, or three for two, we could also get another Free agent Big and/or backup point after the deadline.
It makes so much sense, Danny should find a way happen. No deal is off the table until the deadline passes.
Go Danny- Go!

Make it happen, Danny!

I’m not sure why Battier would command such a price. He’s old and on a team that is full of good-but-not-great players that can’t win more than 48 games a year. I think the Houston GM thinks his entire roster is more valuable than it is.
