Would hate to see him go, but he deserves a shot at a ring.
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/pos...s-battier-dealAdd Houston's Shane Battier to the list of perimeter players that possess the ideal combination -- veteran know-how with an expiring contract -- to interest the Boston Celtics.
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge has publicly acknowledged the need for backcourt reinforcements thanks to the Marquis Daniels' bruised spinal cord and Delonte West's spotty health all season.
After the name of Cleveland's Anthony Parker surfaced Friday as a player that Boston has joined conference rival Chicago in pursuing, sources said Monday that the Celtics and Rockets have likewise discussed the prospect of Battier moving East.
Yet it's too soon to say whether the teams can reach an agreement on a deal to send Battier to the Celtics, given that Boston's trade chips are limited and since Houston is regarded as one of the most aggressive teams in a conservative market and might need Battier's expiring $7.4 million salary for a bigger move.

About time to blow it up. I agree he needs a shot at a ring
oh man battier would be nice in a mavs uniform. beabouis & haywood for battier and brooks?
For what? I don't see it happening. If they are going to trade Battier for nothing it makes no sense. If your going to do him a favor just let him walk and let him choose for himself what contender he wants to play for. Houston is for sure going to do something though.
dont see anything that the rockets would want from boston other than perkins and we all know that aint happening.
Are the Celtics trying to set some kind of age record?..
there saying on clutchfans that the deal isn't going to happen
now we know that Battier is on the market
Wish the Spurs could figure out someway to get him
I think they're going to sign Bill Russell next
According to some writers the discussions went nowhere.
