    i dont know if this has been brought up before, but i was just reading "thoughts" by doc rocket, and i think jeff said that he only would like to see the rockets go after webber if mo wasnt in the picture.
    i would like to hear some thoughts on mo at the 3.
    IF we land webber, could mo play the 3, he's only like 6'9" isnt he. then we would have a big frontline (considering we have a center to play!!)
    is mo quick and agile enough to keep up with the faster 3's in the league??
    and would he create some mis-matches with the smaller 3's in the leaague??

    i can think of a couple of disadvantages......it would considerably slow down our team i think, if we put too much emphaisis on the post, but these guys (webber and mo) are fast enough to keep up with cat and francis

    just expressing my thoughts.....yours??

    I think when you think about this
    I have to Ask . .

    IS MOE FASTER/QUICKER than WALT or BULL?
    [They play the 3]

    If Houston signs Webber and Taylor stays, Taylor is more likely to play center. He plays center now.

    The rationale is that, together, Webber and Taylor can hold their own against other front-lines.

    It might work...after Houston acquires an athletic SF.

    Hell for that matter is KT as quick/fast
    as Bull or Walt?
