    Very sad day indeed...Shane is one of my all-time favorite Rockets player.
    We will miss you greatly...thanks for all you do for our team and for our community!!!

    I was expecting Shane to go to a big contender, like Miami or Boston....but Memphis. Come on Morey...you schmucks!!!

    Battier truly is a favorite of mine,one of the few 2-way players we had left. You'll be missed dearly... Who's gonna stop Kobe,LBJ, and company for us now? Pray that we will be able to sign him next year.

    He had his shortcomings which were overlooked by many on the board,but there is no doubt that he was a positive for our team. Good luck Shane.

    Best 1 vs. 1 player on defense in the NBA.

    Good luck Battier!

    My co-favorite rocket (with Hayes). I wish him the best of luck! I'll esp. miss watching his defense on Kobe and how he contests the fast break so well. Oh yeah and will miss some of the little things too like almost no TO's, inbounding the ball smartly, and taking the charges.

    Good luck Battier, it was a good run with you on our team. Thanks for what you gave us in Rockets Red.

    Gunna miss Battier!

    But on the bright side he gets to build on his all-time steals record for the Grizz.
