They **** better applaud him. I still think a team of Battiers would win a Championship!

i believe front office believe some team will overpaid him and they have no plan to match it
instead of losing him for nothing so we got a backup pg and a 1st round pick
battier only got 1-2 good years left in him
front office feel that he may join a title contender in the off-season
They wouldn't have to worry if they did contract extensions

they don't want to pay you too much
that's why perkins is gone
cause boston don't want to pay him 40 millions for 4 years

Re: Battier/Brooks Appreciation Thread
I wanted Battier to be traded to one of the contenders, but I guess it's easy for Morey to take advantage of Chris Wallace.
Both players will be missed.

One other thing about the no extension policy: It could easily be temporary until after the new CBA
