    Mo Taylor can com into shape like a younger Karl Malone, but finding rebounds is a natural gift that he doesn't have.

    Reread the thread starter's post:


    I know, I know, info posted in other forums are frowned upon here, but I saw something and wanted to get people's opinions on it.

    I was on realgm's Rocket board and someone from Chicago posted that they heard on a local radio station that the Bulls are really interested in getting a scoring PF & a PG in return for Crawford and that there top target is the Rockets & MoT. The poster said they really like MoT and love the idea of Lue as a backup to Hinrich. Of course it would be a sign-and-trade.

    Maybe:
    Crawford
    Robinson or Chandler?

    For:
    Taylor
    Lue


    They have Hinrich, drafted Gordon and Duhon..............yet they would want Lue?
    That is silly.

    <hr color=red>
    If Mo started for the Bulls, then two of:

    Chandler
    Curry
    A Davis

    comes off the bench. If Mo was KMart or Amare or Boozer, then it would make sense for them to start over Chandler, Curry and Davis. Mo isn't that type of player.

    The Bulls had a bad record last season and Mo isn't that much of a difference maker to justify having him come off the bench for over 8 million a year. The future is youth for the Bulls, not another overpaid journeyman.

    They already have significant salary tied up in A Davis, why would they want to add to it by getting Mo?

    Why would anyone want a PF who can't rebound?

    RIET- There's 3 really popular seminars for young NBA players today.

    -Maurice Taylor's 6 Year Contracts for PFs that Can't Rebound
    -Eric Snow's 6 Year Contracts for PGs that Can't Shoot
    -Adonal Foyle's 6 Year Contracts for Big Men that Can't Score

    Mo is a better career rebounder than Foyle is a scorer at least, and we're halfway through his contract! Time flies when you're having fun.

    Sane- My guess is Al Harrington is going to be the starting PF. In the East it makes more sense for him to play there. Probably Diaw slides into the starting lineup.

    Mango- If Mo were starting for the Bulls, wouldn't 2 of those 3 be off the bench?

    I'll tell you who RIET -

    The imaginary mindsets of other teams' GMs percieved by the minds that keep dreaming up these fantasy trades that often times aren't just unfathomable, but actually impossible, like this one. I especially like how the package included either the somewhat mundane Eddie Robinson OR the 7'1 Phenom Tyson Chandler, whom they gave up Elton Brand for, and who is just starting to enter his prime.... funny stuff.

    How many times do we have to say this: Do NOT post "reports" from other message boards. Those message boards are not moderated. People start garbage there all the time from a (cough-cough) local TV report, and by posting it here you are spreading it.
