Who is out there that teams want outta there with salaries matching MoT (or Mo and Clarence)? Derek Anderson, but with ZR and SAR, no chance CWebb for Mo and CW? Lots of extra $$$ to take on with lots of health (and non win) issues, still...hmmm Eddie Jones for Mo and CW Jalen for Mo and CW Zo and Williams for Mo...hmmm Tim Thomas and JYD for Mo and CW...hmmm Big Dog and KT for Mo and CW...hmmm Conclusion: Learn to love the guy, cause Mo no go.
PJ Brown is also a match. PJ Brown is a tough SOB who has a decent jumper. Hornets management might visit the Toyota Center to see Mo play. Mo's gotta get minutes.
Mo did well against the Hornets last year. Mo is not as bad a player as he looks this year. He was a good player off the bench last year.
How ironic, that it was though that the reason Mo started the season, was to get exposure for a possible trade, and it looks like that ended up hurting his trade value. Mo's trade value right now is about ZERO imo. I get tired of hearing "Well, teams that want a scoring PF would be interested" ....uh ..hello!!!! .....Mo can't even score anymore
Mo is a nice offensive player - he can shoot and move to the hole (on slower PFs) ... that nontwithstanding... he is 6' 9" and cannot get more than 3 rebounds a game I am 5'11" and NOT a professional bball player. I could probably get 3 rebounds in NBA game just standing around waiting for the ball to hit me in the head !
At this point, I think the only thing that would accomplish that feat would be to force Mo to grow a fro, give him a catchy nickname, make him run around in circles on d(to make him look like he's hustling) and refer to him as a "fan favorite" in every possible reference to him. At the very least we could get Isiah to bite.
With the Hornets in the Rox division, there is almost no chance that they trade such a valuable player as PJ Brown to what is now a rival. Especially when it is for Mo Taylor.
And, according to MANY on this board, this should be attributed to JVG. Right? I mean, if JVG's system and coaching is affecting TMac & Yao's scoring, why not Mo's? Under Rudy, MoT was a pretty good post player. He has a real nice jump hook across the lane, along with a baselne spin move he used quite often. JVG had turned him into a long-range jump shooter to try to open things up for Yao. Bottomline, despite what many think about him, MoT is a good offensive player who is just on the wrong team right now. It may have been a false rumor, but Seattle seems like a real good fit for him right now. IMO
Mo has been soft as Charmin from the day he stepped foot in the NBA. I hardly blame JVG. I also hardly blame JVG for Mo's offense. Mo's offense increased last year under JVG versus his last year under Rudy. This year, Mo simply hasn't shot well from the outside for whatever reason. If Mo can't hit his outside shot, he is useless.
Is it legal to make a trade during half-time and have the players put on their new uniforms and play for their new team the second half?
