    Don't feel unwelcome just because we'd rather not have given up Gay and Swift for you and not even got a late first rounder or anything thrown in. We're happy to have you.

    hahahaha!!! :D oh man LOL funny

    why you gotta clown on shane?

    dude shane - we need you to be a leader and help teach and improve the rest of our scrubs on the team. there is alot of unproven talent here. jvg ain't enough to get these guys playing well. we need you to set the example and help praise and motivate your teammates. and even reprimand or correct our younger inexperienced players. help the locker room come together. this is going to be the only way to achieve greatness with the rockets this year. don't look back, this should be one helluva ride.

    welcome shane. now show this team a thing or two about winning.

    Welcome Shane! I've always wanted you on the Rockets. I wasn't one of the ones that booed it when I heard about the trade. I liked the trade, but then again, Rudy Gay was my no.1 choice for the Rockets and I was hoping that he would fall.

    We're already a much better team than we were last year. Yeah, the offseason hasn't had the type of flash we like to get excited about, but we made a solid addition, that we'll grow to love, especially if he has the heart of a champion.

    Welcome to the Rockets, Mr. Battier. Now let's go get these rings!

    I didn't watch his games against other teams. So I hope he is not a 2nd Swift.
    Don't let us down again, Shane.

    Welcome, Shane.

    If you have any tips on how to maintain such a youthful, virile hairline, please drop me a line. Your agent isn't doing his job. You'd be a helluva spokesman for Rogaine.

    Welcome Shane, and good luck dealing with the crazy fans that will not be able to allow themselves to get over the trade. We welcome your team spirit and competitiveness.

    Welcome Shane! I actually am glad that you went from being my favorite college player of all time, to playing on my favorite team in any sports. I'm happy. Help turn us into a winner.

    I'll welcome shane...even though i never liked him at duke (for obvious reasons) nor did i like the strange grooves on his head. still, i'm glad that he'll be a rocket (but still pissed that we passed on gay). he came at a damn high price, so there will be lots of pressure.

    shane, please bring some fire back to this organization...i know you liked memphis and all, but you'll see that there were always bigger and better things out there. if you play to your reputation, this city and its fans will be 10 times better to you than memphis ever was.

    Battier is definitely a JVG type of player, let's hope he makes an impact.
