    Well of course he's going to the D-League... but he'll still be on the Rockets' roster. He'll be a Rockets player on assignment playing for RGV.

    its comon for role players to decline hard after 30 years. after they lose their speed/athleticism they dont have enough skilsl to compensate. since last season he hasnt been in the league for 2 seasons. he wasnt even that good of a player, never played a full season.

    dorsey has been puttin in work in the euroleague. chioces suck but i'd rather have dorsey.

    So you think the Rockets drafted him, signed him to his rookie scale contract and brought him over to Europe just to cut him???

    You are drunk.

    He is an absolute lock to be make the 15 man roster. Yes, most likely he will be one of the DLeague allocations, but zero chance the Rockets cut him.

    I think D MO gets traded to free up the log jam.

    Adrien and Garcia have better chances of making the team than Dorsey but I think all of them make it, barring any more trades.

    Powell and Garcia.

    Don't know much he's fallen out since his Laker days, but Powell is a very solid PF with range.

    There is no logjam if none of the guys in question is good enough to be a regular rotation player.
