No thanks, I don't think we should make ANY trades. We have been rolling in 2008. We cannot mess this up.

No because Harrington and Yao can't be in the same lineup. I don't see how two bad ballhandling tall players can be in the lineup. Battier fits better than harrington. Luther head is a better 3 point shooter than harrington. Battier for stephen jackson is a better deal, but then again we don't welcome hardheads in houston .

Ok this is just hilarious.

Everyone that posts so far hates this trade, I actually kinda like it for us, although I don't know why GS would want to do it. In fact I'd say they'd be idiots for even considering it.

Look at the trade this way:
Battier <-> Barnes
Head <-> Harrington
Snyder <-> hey cool free throw-in!

Barnes would replace Battier's defensive pulls with about a 25% loss in 3p accuracy, and Al Harrington is a 6'9" guy that's shooting 40% from 3p range this year. We don't lose very much offensively in Barnes from Battier, and Harrington is a MASSIVE upgrade over Head imo. Snyder would just be a contract matcher. Barnes is also a fireplug afaik that might light a match under some of our guys. There's also what I've mentioned before about his being a GS team captain - which to me would indicate they're not looking to trade him.

But again, I can't see any way GS would do this.
