These are the latest two players rumored to be headed to Boston before Thursday's trading deadline. They're fairly similar, both playing close to 30 minutes a night. Battier's a little bigger and a better rebounder. Parker's a couple of inches shorter at 6'6'' but is a better shooter. I'd take Battier. He makes more money, $7Million to Parker's $2Million, but the NBA is big boy basketball. Yes, Matilda, size does matter. The Celts lost to the Lakers last year because of a lack of size and I don't want to see that scenario repeated. The O'Neal boys are just injuries waiting to happen, so let's continue to beef up. Listen up, Mr. Ainge. Pay attention!
