The 6-foot-4 Taylor was drafted by Washington in the second round and Houston acquired his rights in exchange for cash. Taylor was the 32nd overall pick. Taylor scored 1,979 points at Central Florida and made a school-record 251 3-pointers. He finished his four-year career as Conference USA's fourth-leading scorer. Taylor averaged 11 points and 2.3 assists in four games with the Rockets' summer league team. So. What Now? I personally perfered budigner.
You should lower your expectations. Chase is a nice player, but he is not an HOF talent. Far from it.
im pretty sure we cant, since we have all 15 spots occupied if im correct. unless we waive someone, is anyone im guessing white.
Why cause they are both white,tall, and owns a shooting touch?!? Haha I'm kidding there's just something in Chase that reminds me of Larry in him..don't know what but it's just there.
exactly i never said hes as good as him, but seeing him just reminds me of bird. and not just cause hes white.
We CAN sign both - but someone would need to be trimmed somehow before the season started. If things remain as they are then Budinger probably gets a non-guaranteed contract of the 2 year minimum variety? That way he can play pre-season and we (Rockets) can decide between him and White as to who is preferable. If Budinger signs the "Morey special 2+2" deal, then expect to see a trade going down (or White is gone).
Brent Barry seems like a player they might release. On paper we're not contenders and he may want to go sign with one.
Chase isn't going anywhere, yet. People just need to put the pipe down and quit getting ahead of themselves.
He will have his day. Contract negotiations or possibly him being part of a trade are the only probable reasons he has not been signed yet.
I rather have Bundinger than Taylor. We need some whites on the team, to become a multi race team. I like his play in the summer league. I think we should release James White and Brent Barry.
Taylor the next Jordan and Chase the next bird... It could happen... Maybe... probably not. But maybe. Not likely. Maybe it could happen.
anyone who thinks the Rockets are just letting Budinger go should just get out of the garm right now.
