According to 82games, Battier's +/- is still pretty good at +6.9. Strangely, the Rockets' offense goes to hell when Shane leaves the court.
the sad reality is battier's suppose protege/replacement chase is playing like **** as well on top of that lee is not as good as advertise... well it shouldn't be a surprise really i mean why would teams keep trading away a suppose "cheap and productive" player
Budinger may not be doing better now, but he has IMO the greater potential to do better. Battier's best playing days are far behind him. Budinger's best days are IMO ahead of him. I say keep developing Bud.
