I remember going to game against the Lakers this past season. LA wa in a funk and I knew that we were going handle them. While the teams were going through warm ups and stretching, I couldn't find Shane. When I noticed him on the sideline in street clothes, something just told me that the Grizz were in trouble. True enough we lost the game and I was beating myself saying, "If we woulda had Shane..."

Now for every one of those type instances, there are the games against Dallas where Shane is getting beat off the dribble. There are the games against SA where Bowen is all over the place because he can lay off Battier.

To sum it up Shane is a great person with average basketball skills. I will miss him because he was a calming influence on the court, but I agree with the trade because Gay brings more to the table skill wise than Battier could hope.
