The Cs are not going to re-sign Williams after this season and general manager Danny Ainge apparently doesn't want to let Williams play himself into a good deal elsewhere next year.</div>

    I'd prefer Battie over Williams. Battie is pretty solid in the East.

    Battie is a shot blocking machine, and with adequate minutes and training, he could easily become a Theo Ratliffe type. Still, I'd only prefer using him if I had sufficient scoring at the 4 spot. Like the Pacers or Magic.

    He is a blocking machine, but nowhere near as good as Ratliff, he's equal with Ratliff on one level.... injuries.
