Aquiring Stack means the C's will get capped out next year as opposed to the 
year after. I would do the deal if Barros or Dee are also included in the 
package and we get a 2nd round draft choice in return. By the way where did 
this rumour emanate from? and is their a site where one could read this. If 
there is any truth to this rumour, then Philly appears to be desperate to 
trade stackhouse. As per Vescey, they have offered him & the 2nd pick to 
Chicago for Scottie Pippen.

Right now, Stack is not a star and who knows what Battie will turnout to be 
because most 6' 11" who are not strong tend to get injured in NBA e.g. Camby, 
Wright etc, and suppose Vin Baker becomes available will the C's have enough 
left after the above trade to make a decent offer, because Battie for Baker 
straight up won't get it done <maybe they will have to throw in next years 1st 
rounder>.
