Exactly where would we be without KT at this point? About 5 or so losses stronger (weaker), and fighting the Bulls for the worst team in the league spot. Langhi - gone. Collier - gone. Oscar - gone. Wizard - gone. Cato - gone. Moochie - gone. All of these guys are totally tradeable. KT - only gone if we get a bad MF to replace him at either SF or PF. You Kennyhatas need to chill. He is without a doubt one of our better players, and you should stop and think before any trade involving him.
I'm not sold on Mo-T. Say what you want but all he has proved he can do is score points on poor teams. That doesn't prove much, so I don't think he is the answer at PF. And he does have trade value so I suspect he may be shopped around. Cato has really played well this year. Is it the fear of Willis or is it soem self-motivation? I would love for us to keep Willis and Cato next year just to see if Cato still responds. Best case scenario is we trade Cato but I don't see alot of interest for him. KT always plays hard. He is a double-double type of player who will scrap for points and rebound. He may be too small for a PF and too small for a SF but there is a place for him on this team. Eddie- Gotta love the potential of thsi kid. Noone is still sure if he's a 3 a 4 or a 5 but at this point I don't care. Experiment with him until we see where he plays the best. As for Rice we are stuck with him. He's old, overpaid and damaged goods. We would need to find a real sucker to take him, so I suspect he will still b eon the roster next year. I hope Walt is coming back. Langhi/T-mo- Who knows. Im not a fan of either of these guys but they are both athletic, so they can probably keep their positions on the end of the bench. Hopefully one of these guys becomes an energizer off the bench, but neither has shown much in games. My keepers: Griff KT Cato & Willis (a package deal to keep Cato inspired) Hopefuls: Langhi T-mo Can't find a buyer: Rice Walt Sold!!! Mo-T
Talking about MoT, you know what I miss? Those down the lane thunder slams, one handed. Have you seen that recently on the team? MoT has his place on this team just based on a few little things like shooting range, post moves, size and bulk.
That one over Ratliff was sweet last year. He had some of the most impressive Rocket dunks last year. Sadly, I cant think of too many great Rocket dunks this year - just another sign of our less agressive, less accomplished team.
I think everyone here gives KT too much credit. He is definately a solid forward, but IMO a back up when Mo Taylor is healthy. I know his stats are currently better, but Mo Taylor (while lacking in rebounding ablity) has the agility, speed, and finesse that Thomas lacks. As far as the 3 spot goes, Rice starts because of Rudy's loyalty and is replaced by Griffin or Morris by the all star break.
speed Agility and finessE?????? I may give you finesse. . . .cause that is subjective but KT is MUCH FASTER than mo and seems to be as if not more agile. THEN ONLY THING MO has on KT is about 2 inches and a more consistant 18 footer THAT IS *IT* KT is the better rebounder He scores about as much works harder and honestly . . IMO a better defender. more versatile too Rocket River
Right on Treeman. Kenny plays his butt off; has improved every year; and appears to continue to improve. Do not run KT out of Houston. And don't get so caught up with his height. We need ball players, not a prototype PF/C with no heart for the game.
