Rockets To Ship 1st Pick Batum For Dorsey, Greene

The Houston Rockets drafted Nicolas Batum with the 25th pick in the NBA draft but then turned around and traded the small forward to Portland, receiving Donte Green and Joey Dorsey in return, the Houston Chronicle is reporting.

Greene, a 6-9 forward, was chosen by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 28th pick in the first round while Dorsey was taken early in the second round with the No. 33 pick that was acquired from Portland.

In the end, it was separate deals that ended up completing a three-way transaction that sent Batum to the Trail Blazers, Darrell Arthur to the Grizzlies, and Greene and Dorsey to the Rockets, along with a second-round pick from the Grizzlies in 2009.

"We needed size, athleticism, and shooting," said Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey. "(Greene) has all of those things. He's a young kid, one year out of high school. He's a future bet. But when you're athletic and can shoot, that's a good place to start."
