Butler?

[baseline bum]

He'd be a great pickup for their bench. With the way Tony Allen played last season and with Gay returning, he wasn't going to get a whole lot of opportunity in Memphis anyway.

[TIMMYtoZO]

Great move if they can get it done.

Chalmers/Wade/Bron/Bosh/Dalembert

Cole/Miller/Battier/Haslem/Anthony/Pittman/filler

[rayjayjohnson]

whoops, battier now butler.

ace, suck a dick

[lefty]

Oh My God


The decision !

[daspurs]

Nice.

[LkrFan]

Actually that's a good move if Riles could pull it off. He could end games for the Hype at SF. He'd be a major 4th qtr upgrade. :downspin:

I love how many fag and cocksucker jokes exist on spurstalk! Kudos to Kori for having the courage to resist censoring them!

[rayjayjohnson]

Nice try thundercunt

[Magdalena M]

Wow, you're really good at not using punctuation, rayjay. Impressive!

[Killakobe81]

He would be a good get, but I dont get it from Battier's perspective ...

He can still make significant contributions how many minutes are you gonna get being Lebron's backup? He can play 4 in a pinch ...but Bosh and Haslem reside there.

But whatever ... though i repect his game I have hated him since Duke ...

[DJ Mbenga]

disregard message.

Battier wants a title. Going to MIA where he will get decent money (about as much as he would command anywhere), will also give him a legit shot at that where he will actually play. MIA plays a lot of Lebron at 4, and that means it would be Battier/Wade/Bron/Bosh on the floor at the same time.

[baseline bum]

Who wouldn't want to piggyback 2 of the 3 best players in the league for a ring and get paid while banging all the hot Cuban and Puerto Rican bitches that 8th Street has to offer?

[DPG21920]

Not that I think Shane has a lot of gas left, but he's certainly better than Mike Miller defensively. It is going to be so damn hard to score on the Heat this year. Bron/Wade/Battier on the floor is a nightmare on the perimeter.

Be good having somebody to sub in for LBJ in the 4th.

Battier is only chasing white women ... if that is what he wants, he would have his choice of Britney, Amber, Chloe, if he went to OKC or Indiana ...

This line up was very solid in the finals. It worked out much, much better than I imagined because Shane actually had some gas left in the tank (hitting shots at a crazy clip makes any player more impactful obviously).

Lebron at the 4 gives you a nightmare match up for every team.

[TampaDude]

Battier came up huge in the Finals. He's a big part of why the Heat are the champs this year.

[baseline bum]

Wasn't hard to tell he'd be a major upgrade to their depth.

[DPG21920]

Except he was starting in the finals with the lineup I mentioned. It wasn't obvious to me at least that it would be that solid. He looked pretty done for the last few years and his numbers backed that up. That was a lot more than I thought with that line up. They went with it in the finals and it worked very well.

sorry to say that but gotta admit miami fans are smarter then us in general, just remember our first reactions to the chandler signing a year earlier from then. faggots represented by mono threw tons of trash at the frontoffice for "wasting" the DUST chip on such a player who was injury prone and might be a surplus with haywood already re-signed. miami deserve it this year tbh

Wrong bout dat Battier.

I knew the Tyson deal would put Dallas right there as a contender.

[Latarian Milton]

I knew the Tyson deal would put Dallas right there as a contender.

dallas have been a contender for decade long, they just never came close to championship caliber and no one thought TC could bring such a historic change to this team. even if you were right bout TC and dem mavs, you're not a mavs fan and thats all.

mavs fans just be pathetic as it gets, sorry fucks should be happy they actually won one rather than none tbh
