turns out it was the wrong prospect they get in return so all of us were fooled.. donte greene explains why they passed on CDR as he is a SF. And dorsey will be a backup ben wallace type(PF/C)
Portland gets batum, Memphis gets Dorsey, and we get Greene and 2009 memphis high 2nd round pick. Great deal in my opinion
You know, this is exactly what I expected from the GM. This is great! Most here hate the picks so I think we are doing fine. Last I checked, the Rockets did very well last off season and the same group is still in charge. They is a plan and whether it is to get best available or some other reason, there is a reason. Wait till the middle of the season, when the new players (may not even be these 2 picks) play before this draft is proclaimed a bust. If this allows the rockets to SnT Laundry for a good wing or get a package setup for a major player can still be in play. I would love the Rockets to keep him but his value may yeal the most out of the sparable parts. If Laundry, BJ and even Battier can be packaged together for a SnT Artest with Sac, would this BBS go thru the roof? I'm just saying chill out and relax. It's a long summer.

Rockets get Dorsey, Greene, and '09 2nd round pick...Portland gets Batnum and 54th pick...what does Memphis get?
Memphis gets Arthur. The destination of the 54th wasn't stated. Could be either team. My guess is Memphis.
Overall a very successful draft IMO. Rockets get a "potential" SG/SF with size that they need to back up T-Mac/Battier with Greene. Get a "potential" backup C/PF in Dorsey and an extra pick (most likely a high 2nd rounder) in 2009. Both needs met. Not to mention the 4 PFs....should be an interesting off season! Lets see how it all pans out.
Great Deal! However you look at it, the rockets moved down a couple of spots, still got their guy, and got the an extra second rounder from Memphis. Great work. Oh yeah, and also moved up a few spots in the second round.
Question: Would you rather have Darrel Arthur & CDR or Dorsey & Greene? My guess is both options were available to rockets, but opted to include Memphis to get Greene.
Arthur and CDR were more experienced and mature picks. When I heard about Arthur having a kidney problem I became concerned.It's possible that it's a minor issue though.
