i think like it for both sides
1st round pick, meh. they need battier with gay out, houston needs a center

If Thabeet can start to produce, hell of a steal for the Rockets.
But I don't like it for the Grizzlies. They don't need any more shooters.

they dont have any shooters

tony allen? sam young?
rudy gay is out

they've been looking for a backup wing since last year. they traded for ronnie brewer last year, but he got hurt as soon as they got him

 

[RipCity32]

Not shooters, but they have too many players that shoot too much lol.

They aren't going anywhere though, with or without Battier.

Memphis wins this deal until Thabeet turns out, or that 1st round pick is high.
