    I'll let someone else to the AB thread. Battier was the consummate pro during his time here: played hard, did the dirty work, tried his best to be a leader. You can't ask for any more (except maybe a bit of scoring, perhaps).

    Great community and locker room guy, too. He will be missed...


    ... until he re-signs here this summer, that is! Come on back, Shane! :grin:

    Shane Battier will be missed. I will admit that I would have preferred Rudy Gay on that particular draft day, but Battier made me a believer. His hard work, hustle, defense, and 3 point shooting convinced me that the Rockets made the right move.

    Battier has all the intangibles to be on a championship team, and I hope he gets a ring one day. He deserves one.

    Thanks Shane, for the great basketball you have given us in Clutch City.

    A pros pro. I'll miss him as a Rocket. I still believe you have to have guys like Battier to win a title, ala Elie.

    It was probably the right time to move on though.

    Good luck To the Shaner!! Thanks for your time here.

    He should have been in a package to the Celts since Perkins it seems was on the market.

    I will never Forget the Shane p*rn Stache or When Kobe busted him open in the WCSF. Truely is a Class Act and will fit well in Memphis. Thank Battier. :grin:

    Sad day for Rockets fans. The loss of Shane (arguably for crap) really dismays me. I really wish we could have gotten more, or at least sent him to a contender. This is a humongous mistake. Rockets fans begged for trades, beware what you wish for.

    Shane, you were a class act. I'm sorry we traded you for nothing.

    Sad to see our leader go, but happy that the team has a new direction.

    People can say what they want but hes more than defense. He hit so many clutch shots in the Portland series and the Lakers series that i think hes the 2nd most important player in that year (behind yao)

    THANKS SHANE

    I thought he deserved better than to be sent to Memphis for a guy who is, by all accounts, a bum and an idiot. Oh well, I hope he signs with Miami in the summer and grabs a few rings before he retires. He deserves to be on a good team as a role player.
