Rumor per Woj: Battier for Thabeet+pick

[shrink]

This doesn't quite get HOU under the lux. MEM owes it's pick to MIN. Three-teamer makes more sense.

[DusterBuster]

Battier ending his career in Memphis. Seems about right.

Thabeet sucks and has almost no chance of ever being anything more than garbage according to scouts who say he doesn't really care about basketball, but it's better than just letting Battier go for nothing for the Rockets.

Great for Memphis. Battier will help bolster their team for a playoff run once the Jazz (and maybe Nuggets) fall out of the playoff picture. He'll certainly give them more than the absolute nothing they get from Thabust.
