    Donte Greene. I guess the Rockets won't be picking up Novak's option. Not too surprising when we saw Morey chase after Rashard.

    As for Joey Dorsey I hope he works out:

    Makes much more sense.

    Greene is very tall for his position (trying to be optimistic)

    I don't get it... It says we traded him for Donte Greene, which is the 28th pick, from the Memphis Grizzlies. Yet it says Batum is going to Portland. Typo or what?

    wtf that dont make sense...we had the 25th pick...Greene was the 28th pick??? Greene was drafted by memphis, dorsey by portland....we gave them our 54th pick...there has to be more teams involved for this trade to make sense

    Sweet! I love the addition of Joey Dorsey! Nasty strong rebounder and shot blocker! When Yao is out it will allow Scola to be more of a scorer.

    And for those who worry about his size..

    Dorsey 6'9" - 265 all muscle

    Ben Wallace 6'9" - 240

    Looks like Deke might be on the outs!

    how do we get greene if memphis drafted him and we are getting a player portland drafted? this is confusing... espn needs to clear this up

    it seems obvious batum is gone

    dorsey and arthur seem redundant... dorsey and greene makes sense basketball wise.

    I don't know how much I like Greene, since I haven't seen him play in a game.

    Can anyone fill me in?
