What will it take to drop salary?

[Celtic4Hire@xxxxxxx]

Let's do our job speculating. Battie to Philly, RaWeed to the Cs. What would 
it take?

Well, Philly doesn't have anyone with an expiring contract so forget them.

We got three options I can think of with Portland:

Deal 1)Baker, Kedrick and a no. 1? 2004 salary of 36 M ----Doubtful....

Deal 2)Battie, JJ, Kedrick, Mills and Walta and a no. 1? 2004 salary of 42 M 
----Doubtful....

Deal 3)Battie, EWill, Mills and Kedrick? 2004 salary of 45 M ----Doubtful...

I can't figure what Danny thinks Portland would actually want from us to make 
a deal work. Maybe Deal 3 if you add a number 1. But is it worth it just to 
drop 7 million when it isn't far enough to make that much of a difference and 
the free agent class is supposed to be weak....

I will still look to drop Battie for a free agent and some future pick with 
someone else. That is a win-win sitz-e-ation....

Look at the Raptors, more promising. You got the following expiring 
contracts: Hakeem at 6.6 M, Curry at 2.8M, MoPete at 1.6M and Bradley at 1.3M. You 
don't think we could get a Battie and JJ, Kedrick or Walta and get something 
done?....
