    These are some of the quotes:
    http://www.clutchfans.net/news/1475/morey_happy_with_trades_for_greene_dorsey/

    I'll have a shaky (see: handheld) video and audio when I get back ... the internet connection here is too shaky and I can't get the video (large) uploaded.

    Will be an hour to a hour and a half. Heading home from the TC now.

    Oh, also Greene and Dorsey will be in town tomorrow. 2pm press conference. I'll try to make it back for that.

    Thanks for straigthening everything out, this is really good insight.

    I have to say, I'm pretty proud of our GM's work tonight. Even if Greene doesn't end up panning out you can see a lot of logic behind the moves made. The Memphis 2nd rounder should be a pretty decent pick next year.

    I feel exactly the way Morey does about the two players, except I'm a little unsure about Greene's ability to focus more on the midrange game rather than 3's.

    Donte Greene's upside is really exciting. I hope he can adapt to Rick's offense and get some PT.....

    Joey Dorsey is a big body who will be great to have against Boozer, Brand etc.....

    I love this site on days like this. Having access to the insight of Clutch and my fellow BBSers in the chat room tonight was fantastic.

    Together, we had it all figured out first!

    Thanks again for all your great work, Clutch. You make being a Rockets fan even better.

    Thank you, Clutch. But I'm still confused about this draft. Would someone explain why Morey did a trade-bait for trade-bait, project for project trade?
    Is Greene surely a better prospect than Batum?
    Isn't Dorsey the same type player as Chuck?

    morey should be applauded for a excellent job. obviously he could've drafted green at 25 but wanted dorsey and knew he would be gone by 54.

    Morey did a hell of a job getting 2 extra 2nds for just moving down 3 spots.

    I think we drafted Batum to keep him out of the Spurs hands. Dorsey is way stronger and athletic than Chuck while providiing good D.
