Yeah, I would agree that getting Battie means no Popeye. Maybe they were
afraid they couldn't sign Jones ... or Stewart, for that matter. Maybe this
was their Plan C. I just don't know, though. Battie's boarding numbers are
well below those of Jones or Stewart, and they're about a wash with Travis
(who has equal shotblocking numbers). And, Battie is going to look to score a
lot more than any of those guys, which is not a good thing considering the
number of scorers we've already got. We need somebody to do the dirty work.
Why make this move for a 6'9 forward??
