I would be very interested in Eddie actually, especially for the vet minimum. We could then move Butler along with Rafer and Sura in a package. I just don't see Butler doing anything here.
The only thing that Eddie could provide is some shot blocking. He isn't going to make much of a difference in rebounding. He is highly unreliable to say the least,with hardly any motivation to play IMO.He isn't worth the trouble. I don't know if Butler is going to be of much use, but I would rather add Deke and keep both of them to backup Yao.
I'd like to trade Butler in a package with other players. Sign Deke and sign Eddie as the last man on the squad. If he gives us some blocks and some 3s great. If not, he's just the last man on the bench. I'd rather have Eddie on a 1 year min deal than Butler's salary.
I always saw Mo Taylor as a poor man's Chris Webber. They have very similar games. Both have above average ball handling for a big man, can hit the mid range shot or take it in the paint. Now of course this is the Mo Taylor that had all the potential with the Rockets. The Mo right now, I don't really know. With that said, even if somehow the Rockets do sign him, he'll be a 3rd String PF and rarely get off the bench. Mo and Yao were good buddies when they were here so maybe management is just trying to get all of Yao's good friends back?
I called a Mo Taylor signing last year after he was bought out by the Knicks and I was blasted also. I don't know how true this is seeing that we don't have room on the roster, and if no deal is going to be made until the deadline, this signing cannot take place. But I am with it if he comes ready to play, this could be a lethal combination of players either way. This could shoot us to the top of the West, or this could really backfire on us.
Mo taylor, why we want this fool when we got rid of howard? -first of all, we got no more room on our roster. We got like half the NBA signed with us now. no trades no deal.
the questions is is there another trainer at the rockets facility...maybe 'the king' (lol who calls himself tat) misphrased this fact. Its possible that the rockets have contacted taylor, just as they had with many other free agents. Its highly unlikely that we would sign him. Theres no reason to debate that and bash the messenger. what i value from this is that bonzi is working his ass off. We should be glad with this new weapon that we have.
I was at Mcdonald's in Dallas and was standing in line with Les Alexander at which point, for no reason, he turned to me and said they are also looking at bringing back Otis Thorpe and Calvin Murphy.....
mo taylor is a piece of ****. he was a terrible signing back in those god-awful rocket years and would be a terrible signing now. good defender? you lost ALL credibility with that statement.
Nah, Mo Taylor is our secret weapon. The Lakers said they will trade Kobe Bryant for our scrubs, but they want Mo Taylor in the deal
I could see Mo coming in on a non-guaranteed deal just to fill out the training camp roster. It would be nice to have a more offensive-minded 4 to go along with Chuck and Scola for when Deke is on the floor if he is back. I would definitely prefer something like a Rafer/Reed for Kenny Thomas deal though.
Why not really get a veteran player that can at least shows a better defense than "Smoking Mo". Guy can't rebound, he is a lousy defender and that's why Yaoza was almost ltirally get beaten' up every night! Say no to MO! I'm not even sure if that is real about Mo Taylor! Morey should know better, CD will be on his tail telling him a something.Again, say NO to Mo!
Mo Taylor has been working out here at my job along with some other NBA players. When i see him, ill ask him, and let you guys know if its legit or not.
There games are nothing alike. webber could dribble, pass, shoot and play defense. ok weak defense, but thats still a huge upgrade over no defense that Taylor played.there is no similarties whatsoever.
