    Twitter-lusting!

    Guess Kevin Durant is a moneyballer geek.

    Westbrook/Maynor
    Harden/Sefolosha
    Durant/Battier
    Ibaka/Collison
    Perkins/Mohammed

    Nice lineup. Probably the best in the league.

    That would be a great lineup. Didn't think OKC would be in the market for any FA but Shane might be one.

    If I'm not rooting for the Rockets, I'd be rooting for the Thunder.

    Young, classy high potential team. With Shane Battier's leadership and Perkin's anger this team will go far.

    Shane would be a good fit on the Thunder. They dont need his actual basketball playing abilities as much as they need veteran leadership and a glue guy, and that's really all Shane's useful for these days.

    Even though Shane is far from a point guard, he would probably help out Westbrook the most on that team. Westbrook needs a vet. leader like Shane.

    Good for Shane, does OKC want Chuck too?

    You meant the "white" Chuck Hayes, but Nick Collison is blacker than you think.

    Nick Collison is friends with Battier, of course he's black. In fact, you don't get any blacker than friends of Shane Battier.

    With Battier on that team and playing against Durant in practice, expect KD to get even better.

    I really hope he goes there, I think he would help them out alot, and i would much rather see the Thunder win a championship than the cHeat.

    Battier either re-signs with the Grizzlies, or go to the Thunder or Celtics.

    Battier only has one person that's going to decide where he goes, ans that's his wife. Everybody should know that.
