Well it's not Carmelo Anthony or Chris Bosh, but there is help on the way for the Houston Rockets' frontline.

According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, the Rockets have inked journeyman center Joey Dorsey to a two-year deal worth $2 million. Given the terms, the deal is likely worth the league minimum.

Dorsey was originally drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers in the second round of the 2008 draft, and dealt to the Rockets. He rarely saw the floor, and scored just 13 total points as a Rocket.

Dorsey's best skill is undoubtedly rebounding, as he boasts a career per-36 minute rebounding average of 13.3. He has little in the way of offensive skill, and is rather undersized, height-wise, for the position of center (6-foot-8). He provides Houston with depth in the front-court, as the team traded away backup center Omer Asik.
