Re: Shane Battier set to retire after NBA Finals
Don't like the fact he's negotiating a post retirement contract during the finals...no wonder he has been off these playoffs. He checked out

I doubt the negotiating is going on now. No way he has time. I think he is all in, and ready if we need him. That's how this team runs.

Yeah he's the man he's calm down so much from his earlier days. He definitely needs to go out with three rings

Re: Shane Battier set to retire after NBA Finals

I will never forget 2012 OKC and 2013 SA G7. Hopefully he adds one more to that collection this upcoming series.

Re: Shane Battier set to retire after NBA Finals
I hope so too. He's too professional to let that distract him. All the players have business interests off the court. This one's no different. Despite my feelings about this series, I really hope he does retire with three rings.

Re: Shane Battier set to retire after NBA Finals
sad because i was kinda hoping he would take a assistant coaching position with us at some point. Battier is one of the guys I think that will still be affecting the NBA after player retirement.

unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

Re: Shane Battier set to retire after NBA Finals
I wanted him to stick around on the team like Juwan Howard and just be a positive force in the locker room. I'm sure he'll do great in whatever seeks. Hopefully he finds his way back to the Heat in the future.

Re: Shane Battier set to retire after NBA Finals
I don't think the slump has anything to do with him looking toward the next phase of his life. Wish him all the best as he moves forward and hope we can send him out like the winner he is.
