    Fox sports just mentioned that the Rockets were looking at a possible trade so was not sure if Batum would end up the night as a Rocket, as of now he still is.

    dorsey isn't bad(he can be the backup center) but i'm perplexed why not CDR. He would be a great backup to shane/tracy.

    So the Blazers picked Omar Asik a 7' center from Turkey. Seems legit maybe since we need a replacement big down the line for Deke's roster spot and Yao's back up.

    I HOPE BATUM TRADE IS NOT TRUE

    I HOPE BATUM TRADE IS NOT TRUE

    i think hes going to be something big we talk about how we dont want to wait for a player to develop we he addresses our future and he's compared to rudy gay. gay average 20 in only his second season and hes only 20 years of age? so maybe he can contribute soon. so i hope this rumor isnt true. sometimes draft express isnt always true. so whos with me into keeping batum?

    and Omar Asik just signed a 5 year contract with his current team, meaning he definitely won't be coming over here in the next few years.

    dorsey has the muscle to play center. he may not be tall, but he is well built.

    I wanted CDR too don't get me wrong, but dorsey isn't a bad pick either.

    No need for a separate thread about Batum.
