I agree. Battie was what a top 3 or 6 pick at the least you would expect him
to bring 10 boards or points a game. Lafrentz is a good outside threat and
would give the C's the same scoring ability Laimbeer did with the Pistons. I
would like to see him at the 4 move Paul and Toine down to the 3 & 2 spots.
