Houston Rockets Get Jermaine Taylor (32nd pick)

Just noticed Dionte Christmas didn't get drafted!!

GO GET HIM MOREY!!

 

hopefully jermain taylor has bad intentions

 

Donte is on the Suns?

 

Looks like Luther Head v2

 

Looks like a not well thought out comparison.

 

I see this pick as an extra leverage on contract negotiation with wafer.

 

with 2nd round players, i think our GM is drafting based on best available, not by needs.
maybe all the big men in the 2nd round are bunch of useless stiffs.

 

Getting to know Jermaine Taylor...

He might not be close to home but he is close to Beyonce now.

 

How high was he hyped before the draft?

 

I thought that was what James White was for?

 

Most of the big guys this draft are turrible. I mean after Blake Griffen everyone else is probably on the same level as Dorsey from last year.

 

I think this is just a good risk pick. You don't give up anything, you take a risk and maybe he turns into a solid player.

Once in a thousand you get a real gem like Boozer in the 2nd rd.

If that happens - shout hallelujah!

 

Or like others suggested/speculate that these picks could be used for a big trade that would net the Rockets an all star. Remember last year, Donte Green was one of the important piece that brought Artest to Houston. Hope lightning strikes twice.

 

Well this clears Morey's secret agenda

The Rockets and Suns trade happens..

Rockets send McGrady, Brook and Landry to Phoenix

for

Stoudamire and Barbosa to Rockets


While Acquiring Chase, Lull and Taylor from the draft last night

Chase takes over for Brooks at the PG position

Taylor takes over for Landry at the PF position

Let Lull stay with his powerhouse for the next couple of years...


Well this would be my best guess.. sounds good?

 

I think Taylor is going to be the steal of the draft ...
but isn't Chase a SG and Taylor a SF?

 

Close, lol.

Lowry/Barbosa/Taylor
Taylor/McGrady
Battier/Budinger
Scola/Landry
Yao/Hayes

We need to flip Barbosa for a backup C.

Also, this above roster is obviously if we didn't sign Artest and Wafer.

 

James White is more insurance then someone they can point to as pushing for the SG spot against Wafer and Artest. You'd have a stronger threat with Barry if his shot has returned to form.

He's just a flat out scorer.
