I don't know how their going to get the threads combined, but here is the report from the chronicle. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/5858961.html It didn’t take long for the Rockets to say au revoir to their first round draft pick from France. Just a short time after taking 19-year-old small forward Nicolas Batum with the No. 25 selection in Thursday’s NBA draft, the Rockets were working to complete a pair of deals that would send away Batum and their second round pick (No. 54) and get two players in return. Those two players are Donte Greene of Syracuse and Joey Dorsey of Memphis. Greene, a 6-11 forward, was chosen by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 28th pick in the first round. Dorsey, who played in the NCAA championship game with the University of Memphis, was taken with the No. 33 pick (second) round by Portland. Batum will go to the Portland Trail Blazers and the Rockets will also end up with a second round pick from the Grizzlies in 2009. The Rockets are still waiting for the NBA office to approve the deals.
Yeah, I agree. There's no way he's gonna trade Landry and force the team to depend on a rookie backup at the 4. That would be absurd, unless he can get back a starting point better than Rafer.
