MIami Heat Hoping to Sign Shane Battier

According to Yahoo! Sports:

"Shane Battier, who spent last season with the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies, may end up joining the Miami Heat whenever the next season begins, the Miami Herald reports.

The Heat long has admired Battier and fellow free agents Tayshaun Prince and Grant Hill, but the question is if any will take less money to sign here, the Herald writes."

Battier would be a tough loss, especially considering what he means to this team defensively, off the bench. Though with the return of Rudy Gay and the play of Tony Allen, defensively speaking, the Grizzlies might eventually look to let Battier walk.

thanks for the run shane

but I have big doubt we will ever see Battier back in the #31 jersey again in Memphis (thanks for taking that back from Darko). IMO he is replaceable too with guys like Carl Landry & Big Baby seemingly available.

IMO I'd still rather have Shane over either of them..

Landry and big baby are nice but how much playing time would they get behind Randolph and then Arthur who is coming along? Plus Powe has to fit in somewhere. Really going to miss Shane if he does go, really hope he goes anywhere but Miami too.

I was thinking behind Rudy Gay too. Someone to shut down the Durant’s, Westbrooks’, and those Miami Heat when we play them in the finals. :)
