Mark, I don't think Tony Battie is necessarily the key to the future for the
Celtics.  He could make a positive impact, but so could Moiso and so could
Blount at that postition.  The real key is Antoine Walker, and you don't
really know what you're going to get from him, do you?  The things they need
from Antoine will not come from anywhere else if he doesn't deliver.
