    I was hoping he would come back to Houston. He would be perfect on this team with his perfect entry passes, and he would provide a ton of rest for Parsons.

    Daryl Morey will be his first call.

    Shane can do whatever he wants though. Politics, TV, coaching...

    I remember Morey saying in an interview a couple months back that he wanted to try and get Battier a position here once he retired.

    I'll love to see Battier with the Rockets coaching staff. Very smart man for the sidelines.

    My mom was coworkers with his mom back in Detroit, and apparently his mom always said that Battier was going to become a politican after he retired and got rich from the nba

    If he joins the coach crew, Harden will be on a new level.
