nah. I'm glad because I'd much rather have Battie whether his expiring contract is moved or not. Cato has a lot of Dampier/Jerome James in him

Cato's a better shot-blocker than Battie and his salary matches K-Mart's. I preferred getting him. However, I think the Magic are getting pretty desperate to trade Francis and will still trade him. I don't interpret this Detroit/Orlando deal as indicating the deal with us is off. In fact, arroyo might be there a replacement playmaking gaurd for Francis.

in fact, I think the Detroit deal HAD to go down before they moved Franchise.

It does seem like a setup move for a Francis trade. With the Det trade Orlando now has 5 PGs on the roster (Francis, Arroyo, Nelson, Dooling, Diener).

top 7 protection


theyll tank it for sure

in fact the bosses will command that one

You end up with a gay Howard Darko frontline that is ONE helluva promise.


BUT if it has no protection next year---detroit could get oden.

Not many people are talking about this but this trade made so little sense for Detroit who now has 7 days to beg for a backup point guard! I mean, you have the best record in the NBA and you choose to take this risk? If Dumars doesn't find someone to backup Billups it could cost them a shot at the title this year and he would go down in infamy.

i'm pretty sure they have a deal in place for a backup pg before pulling the trigger on this. unless dumars had a major brainfart...like he did on draft night 3 years ago
