Built Ford Tough Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 From his Twitter, posted a day or so ago. Hey @ShaneBattier, just wanted to see how you were doing and what size jersey you wear and also do u still want no.31? It was reported before that the Thunder would be heavily interested in signing Battier (along with the Celtics, Heat, Grizzlies and Rockets) but I don't really know if it would make all that much sense for the Thunder to go and sign him considering he wouldn't get all that many minutes since Durant is blocking him at the 3, they have Harden at the 2 and they already have a very good defensive player in Sefolosha (although he is a liability on offense, unlike Battier). It may make more sense to go out and strengthen up their big man depth or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGuy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 He would add a veteran's presence in the locker room, not to mention his defense and three-point shooting would really give them a boost off the bench. I think that with lots of games being played in a short amount of time having another guy at the 3 wouldn't be such a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 28, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hahaha, this made me laugh. Do you still want 31? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I like the idea of getting Battier because I personally believe that Durant can play the 4 in a small line-up. They still need another scorer or hope that Harden would step up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
