[AZ BLAZER]

I have to agree with you man , you guys have a good team and will compete for a playoff spot next season.
No reason to trade your young guys for a vet like Battier until your young guys developed enough to get to the playoffs or to the 2nd round.
Then you trade for a vet to get you over the hump , you don't trade for a vet to go form borderilne playoffs to 1st round exit , it's not worth it imo.

Thanks for understanding. So many posters on the various boards will not take the time like you did to listen to another perspective. As we have said, Portland has a couple years to develop some young guys still. When they get there then you have the difficult decisions to make as to who do you keep, trade and for what.

Here's to hoping both Yao and Oden never get injured again and we will get to see some great games between the two.
Good luck next year.
