Who else thinks we made out like bandits in the Perkins trade? I know I do.

Also, please remind me what it was rumored to have cost to get Battier.

A minimum of Nate + Marquis + #1, and my guess would be Erden as well.

Wasn't the Houston rumor for Battier a package that included either Perkins or Davis ?

Not that I've heard.

Speculation was that Houston was holding out for a first round pick down the road (when the C's were likely rebuilding) or Perk/BBD.

Yeah, that was all I heard during that span.  Because I wanted Battier as well.  I never heard much of it because the rumor didn't last long.  Just a rumor really.

There are a lot of links on it, with all of them just stating: " The Houston Rockets are reporting to want either Glen Davis or Kendrick Perkins "

My guess is that Danny and Doc didn't want to part with the Perk/Davis package for Battier.  So instead, he tried to flip the GS rumored package instead.
