    Completely different body types and levels of athleticism.

    Hey, did you all know Josh Smith played AAU with Dwight...'er, I mean, that Jeffery's dad played for the Rockets, and his name is spelled -- Jeffrey.



    One could say, Jeffery's dad's scrub play contributed to Rockets getting Ralph Sampson.

    Don’t forget about his uncle Maurice Taylor and step brother: Jermaine Taylor.

    Taylor played 20 mpg of 40 minute games and averaged 5 points last season, that's not elite scoring on any continent. But Morey isn't looking at his ppg, he's supposedly a staunch defender and was 36% from the three point line (even though the euroleague three point line is a foot and a half shorter than the nba. But here's hoping he can replicate and improve upon that if signed

    Yeah, he’s our answer to Durant on offense. He can basically shoot over anyone not 7 feet+.

    Rockets want to sign Taylor just so he can agitate Draymond Green, tbh.

    I love the translation on this page you've posted:



    Yes please, give us many 3 and D squires Europe. We don't want any 2 and No D peasants. This is a team of squires.

    When evaluating a player as a fit on the team, it is important to look both on and off the court. This story is very relevant to who Jeff Taylor is.

    I never meant to say or imply Taylor will do any scoring for us, more than Luc or PJ did. Sorry if it came out that way. I'm not defending his PPG stats by saying Euroleague doesn't have high scorers.

    I mean, everyone except Doncic scored 9.5ppg or less for Madrid last year ... the Euroleague Champion.

    My point was, we aren't looking for scorers who will take minimum contracts. Scorers who take minimum contracts likely suck real bad on defense. Jeffery's 20 mpg on the Euroleague champion (Doncic led the team with 25 mpg) tells us he had a solid role in Europe.

    I’m just talking out of my rear but I feel lime our depth is gonna be alright, i’m hoping all these moves possibly keep us from being exhausted when it counts if the players turn out worthy and MDA extends the rotation some

    Rockets tried to get ronaldo from real madrid but he preferred Juventus. Now Morey has to settle for Jeff Taylor smh.

    Morey should be trying to poach Anthony Randolph while he's at it.

    P.J Tucker, Carmelo Anthony, James Ennis, Vince Edwards, Jeff Taylor maybe signs
    James Nunnally was insulted by the Rockets offer, He thinks he's a Superstar, Yeah in Europe
    Rockets should go after Kawhi Leonard, Rental or Not. Harden and Paul their age is to win now.
