Tired of Chad Ford? Try King Kaufman... Honorable mention I think the Rockets did a nice job of unloading Taylor and his huge (three more years, $27 million) contract and picking up some ambulatory point guards, plus Vin Baker, who won't help them. And if you've seen 66-year-old Rod Strickland's tongue hanging out after he plays five minutes at the point, you know the Rockets needed some ambulatory point guards. Mike James and Moochie Norris won't make anyone forget Steve Francis, but they'll do. All the Rockets gave up, other than Taylor, was Reece Gaines, a point guard who has accomplished nothing in two years and now heads for his third team, the Bucks, and a pair of future second-round picks. The Rockets also got backup center Zendon Hamilton, who isn't much of a player but has a great first name. http://salon.com/news/sports/col/kaufman/2005/02/25/friday/index1.html
I hope MJames doesn't remind me of Francis... Please don't! Moochie? He IS a Francis in a normal guy's body...
Hey King Kaufman is awesome! He was our school newspaper's media advisor when I was a sports editor of our college paper, and he personally reviewed all my columns. He also wrote a recommendation letter for me that got me into law school! You should always read his stuff -- it's very entertaining and witty and unique... and free if you watch the infamous day pass!
