    Nah Morey has figured it out. You trade for the player. The Rockets couldn't compete with the 5 year deals and would be in the driver's seat to lock up a true star long-term.

    Dorsey was one of the best defensive center in Europe. He will play defense, he will rebound and shot block a lot of shots. I am more than okay with that.

    That's not even funny... alright, maybe a little. If we are going for old Rockets players, what about a PF? Chuckwagon? Mandry? Scola?

    don't sleep on him, guys

    He seems to play like Dwight, so we don't need to change our style of play when we go to the bench. He just needs to clean up the boards, get garbage points, clog up the middle. Crack jokes. Could be a locker room presence. And make Paps comfortable when he comes over.

    Do they have the same agent? From Olympiakos to Barcelona and now to Houston

    Welcome back, Joey! Our Dwight Howard 2.0 (even in personality)

    This is the offseason of the stars coming home:

    Lebron to Cleveland
    Boozer to Utah
    Dorsey to Houston

    It is real, the third star, according to Morey.

    Joey could rebound like crazy when he came out of college. He is an enforcer on defense but his head wasn't screwed on straight and he couldn't stay out of foul trouble the last time he was here.

    I think he can come in right away and help our bench and provide real quality depth and a rebounding / defensive center behind Dwight Howard. If he can do for Houston what DeJuan Blair did for Dallas last season I would count that as a huge success.

    Dorsey has 2 Euroleague Championships. And contended for the NCAA championship almost every year he played for Memphis.

    Yeah, people will probably blow that off and say well it isn't the NBA.

    But a lot of people don't understand that the mental aspect of competing for titles is the same whether it's the Final Four, Euroleague, or NBA Finals.
