Today's story: Shane Battier intends to sign with Miami Heat.

• KD35_Is_A_Beast: "Miami needed another wing defender and some experienced players on this team, but they still don't have a true center. They should get that first. A big man is a priority, not Shane Battier."
• AlshonsOneHandedCatch: "I'm a Celtics fan, but Battier does give the Heat a big boost in maturity and leadership."
• SkipMoneyXL: "This is a great move for the Heat, as Battier is one of the best defenders in the NBA, and he is also one of the most intelligent basketball players in the NBA. Not to mention he can hit the 3. This basically only leaves the paint and the bench as the two areas that the Heat need to improve."
• BlueNoteRider: "The Heat are doing everything they can to make sure the teams they play score nothing. My word, this team is stacked!"
• Revolution Already Underway: "Bad news for Heat haters. Battier may not be a tremendous player, but in Miami he doesn't need to be. Solid D, knock down open 3's (and he may see a lot of them with James and Wade drawing all the attention) and he will be a great acquisition."
