Battie/Williams for Griffin/Mobley/Nachbar works via RealGM.

This certainly would be intriguing -- but you'd hope that Ainge would 
have some sort of guarantee that Griffin want's to play sitll -- 
weren't there reports that his heart wasn't into it (whether it was b/c 
he dind't get his option picked up or not was the question -- but damn 
the kid just turned 21(!).

Let's say for a minute that this deal goes down, do you start Griffin 
as a show of faith and as an attempt to get him back on track -- taking 
Baker up on his promise to do whatever it takes?  It would -- as 
someone suggested -- allow Baker to be the scoring punch with the 
(even) fast(er)-breaking 2nd unit:

Banks
Brown
Jones
Baker
Perkins

with an 80% new starting lineup of:

James
Mobley
Pierce
Griffin
LaFrentz

Interesting stuff!
