Battie's contract expires the year after this coming season and Collison expires a year after that. From OKC's side i still dont see why they would make that move. I can imagine OKC asking for some draft picks as well.

I've been wanting Nick Collison for about a year now. He's the solid role player PF that we need. He doesn't need the ball to be effective, and he's a great rebounder. I'd definitely listen to a trade for Collison.

I dont have a link because it was a couple of weeks ago, but I remember reading that the Magic looked "into" a trade for Collison that would include Battie. It was on a Hoopsworld morning report i believe. Anyways they said that the love affair of Collinson with the Orlando media wouldn't get its wish before the deadline. That's what I got from the article. It wasnt anything special. But I would love for the Magic to get him.

I would like this to go down but it would not happen. OKC would be dumb to do that trade. The only reason I could see them doing it is for more flexibility down the road. However, I think the Magic would have to do this b/c he is an upgrade over Battie imo. Doubt that it would happen though.

What is that supposed to mean? What reporter in the Orlando area keeps proposing trades for Collison? I haven't seen that much.

They said

pondering a swap involving Nick Collision coming to Orlando in a package that was to include Tony Battie. Magic sources have assured me that Tony Battie is not going anywhere and that the love affair fans and the media have with Nick Collision in Orlando is not going to happen, at least not before training cam

p.

Everyone has always seemed to like Nick Collison, so between e-mails the media receive, and trade checker with Collison going to Orlando. It's more of a look at the facts comment. Although I can't recall a couple times or even 1 time that Collison was brought up by Magic media.
