Definitely the right decision, eventhough, I am not sure that they got enough for the pick. Rudy Gay, as highly touted as he is/ was, slipped(?) all the way to 8. Maybe you should first consider that, secondly, he seems to disappear an awful lot. Lastly, I'm not sure that Gay is going to be any better than Eddie Griffin was to the Rockets. Eventhough Shane Battier has the curse of Duke working against him by default, I think that he is a part of the newer breed of Dukies to hit the NBA, ie, Elton Brand, Cory Maggette, etc. Battier will fill a void on the Rockets, a real shooter and he can defend. This should pay big dividends for the Rockets if T Mac and Yao can stay relatively healthy. There may be a hidden bonus in this deal also---if Houston can talk Memphis into throwing in the point guard (Lowry), they'll really help themselves. Lowry is good, very good. Houston did the right thing in trading Gay.

not for shane battier, Gay has a lot more worth to the Rockets thn Shane Battier does. Gay is a very athletic player who could off spelled T-Mac from time to time and the Rockets could of used an athetic back up to T-Mac. thy should of kept Rudy Gay, bad move, ;(.

Hell ******* no....the Rockets are a piece **** for an basketball organization...
We've got bunch dumbasses in front office who couldn't find their way through an open door, if it was wide open.
Jerry West looks like a genius again, but really it shows that Rocket management are full of ******* morons.
