SACRAMENTO, CA - Thursday, August 14, 2008 ---- The Sacramento Kings today
acquired Donté Greene, Bobby Jackson, a future first round draft pick and
other considerations from the Houston Rockets in exchange for Ron Artest,
Sean Singletary and Patrick Ewing, Jr., it was announced by Kings’ President
of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie.
“In acquiring Bobby, Donte’ Greene and a future first-round pick, we’re
excited about adding the veteran experience and proven ability of Bobby,”
explained Petrie. “Donté Greene, a first-round pick in this year’s draft,
brings us another young frontcourt player with a high level of talent who
played exceptionally well in the Las Vegas Summer League. The future
first-round pick gives us an additional asset down the road. We’re looking
forward to watching them play and seeing them contribute to this team.
“I also want to thank Ron for his effort and contributions over the past two
and a half seasons. We all wish him the very best. Sean and Patrick are two
fine young players and we wish them future success as well.”
Greene, a 6-9, 221-pound forward out of Syracuse, was an early entry
candidate for the 2008 NBA Draft. He was selected in the first round (28th
overall) by the Memphis Grizzlies and traded to Houston on the 2008 NBA Draft
night. Greene averaged 22.6 points per game (2nd in the league) for the
Rockets through five outings in the 2008 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. In
his lone season with the Orangeman, Greene led Syracuse in scoring and was
