"Before one game, Shane Battier asked Coach Rick Adelman if he could come off the bench to be able to guard the high-scoring sixth-man Manu Ginóbili. 'No one in the NBA does that,' says the Rockets' general manager Daryl Morey."
When Booz and AK get healthy, we will have some additional offensive muster in #5 and a scoring-defender in #47; but viable at either the 3- or 4-spot (could play 2 in spurts and even 5 in a small-ball lineup), Shane could be that guy who works the swing shift: starts some nights, comes off the pine on others. Who would we give for him? It wouldn't be cheap. How about Boozer, actually? Or CJ/Almond/Fes? Harpring/Knight/cash?
This is a deal that would never happen, but oh well. I like wasting my time writing pointless blog entries. Shane, if you read this blog, I want you to know that Mormonism is the true religion. Take it from me, Mike Brady. If you get baptized, then this entry will not have been a waste of time, and how great shall be my joy. If it so be that I should labor on my blog for 15 minutes, and bring save it be Shane Battier unto him... (fades to Janice Kapp Perry outro)
