From Jackie MacMullan's SI column

   Clippers veteran Rodney Rogers told the team he will not re-sign when
   he becomes a free agent this summer, so the Clippers talked to the
   Celtics about a Dana Barros -for-Rogers swap before settling on
   forwards Tony Battie and Bruce Bowen , but the league informed them
   that the trade could not go through, because a player who has been
   acquired within the past 60 days (Battie) can't be packaged in another
   deal ... Clippers forward Lorenzen Wright has also requested a trade,
   but the Clippers still hope to re-sign him ... Players got one last
   kick in the wallet last week from the lockout: Union dues have doubled
   from $5,000 to $10,000 to cover attorney fees.
