    it is my opinion that the Rockets should trade Bryce Drew and the Exemption to the Clippers for a resigned Maurice Taylor.

    Maurice Taylor is a young explosive PF that has proven he can score in this league.....

    He would be a great compliment to our backcourt, and could come at a much cheaper price than originally thought.......

    I say if we can get him for around 5-6 Million, DO IT.........

    When I say "compliment" that doesn't mean he is a backcourt player "dumb@ss".....it means he would enhance the effectiveness of our "backcourt" by playing well in the "FRONTCOURT"

    thank you for your attention

    Uhhh, sorry FantasyGM, but Maurice Taylor has already said he's signing with Orlando

    Besides, we already have enough guys that can't rebound...God forbid we get one that doesn't WANT to rebound

    Fantasy, Why would he "compliment" our backcourt?

    OK, the guy can score 17-20 ppg, but I would hardly call him explosive. He came from the friggin Clippers!! Who else was going to shoot the ball?! Also, the guy doesn't rebound so he won't be throwing any outlet passes to our guards. His game has NOTHING to do with guard play.

    The amazing rumor mill has him going to the Raptors now! Who knows? IF I was him, I would definitely take the most money, cause I see his stock dropping in the FA classes of the years to come (maybe not next year though) and he needs to milk it all right now while he can.

    that is probably where i got confused. i dont see how he would either.for some reason i read , he would be a great addition to our backcourt. but dont make a mistake or he'll call you a dumb@ss. although he has never met you in your life.

    Brahma--don't be a little b*tch......don't play innocent and then get offended when you are wrong.....you were trying to call him out because you thought he believed Taylor was a gaurd.....When he obviously new Taylor was a PF......

    There is another thing that is REALLY starting to "T" me off.....What is the deal with everyone assuming that if you post a bunch of times, it breeds intelligence? I know 3 year olds that are capable of posting a message on a bbs. That is not to say that someone who has posted a bunch isn't an intelligent person or doesn't have legitimate, interesting post......but to me that is the most childish act...."ouch you hurt my feelings, but I don't care because I am better than you because I have more posts" PLEASE can we get out of the 3rd grade!!!

    I don't post that often anymore....I used to post quite a bit back in the day when we had the older bbs. I still come here multiple times a day and I like reading all the post. Truth be known I have probably been visiting clutchcity longer than many of you....and if someone was to claim they are more intelligent or loyal to clutchcity than me, or many others that are regulars here, because they have more post? that is insane.

    Anyway that has been getting on my nerves ever since I started seeing people throwing around their number of post like it was a masters degree from MIT

    I think many of you will agree with me on this.....for everyone else hurry up and write another 20 post so you can increase your intelligence level!!! "Who needs a MBA...I have 2000 post on the clutchcity bbs!!!!!!"

    Just because you post a lot, it doesnt mean you are intelligent. But you do have posting experience, and with that comes the ability to know how to handle a situation. Reread the posts. Brahma did read it wrong and was pointing out what he thought was a mistake, not in a mean or deragatory manner, but just to point it out, and that other guy comes back with dumbass and a very sarcastic post. I would be offended too.

    I have a fair number of posts (in a short period of time), but I certainly dont think I know more or have any more experience than anyone. I just think I like to talk about the rockets, the NBA, and other stuff with common basketball fans a lot and I happened to find this site before some other people or have more time on my hands. I made a dumb mistake early on and then continued to debate for a while, but now I know that is pointless and I make a strong effort not to offend poeple when I disagree with them.

    Back to Mo Taylor: The Clippers get nothing out of the deal. They've got a ton of rookies who would get on the court before Drew. And they have no use for the exception. Because they are below the cap, they wouldn't get a trade exception out of it. They wouldn't even get more cap space than they would if they just let Taylor walk, since they'd take on Drew's contract. And finally, what would they do with cap space or exceptions anyway, since those are just ways to spend more of Sterling's money, which is the last thing he wants to do.

    Besides that, I don't think Taylor is a good addition to the team. He's a good scorer and can hit a jumper, which is good. But two things we really need are rebounding and frontcourt defense and Taylor can provide neither. As far as complementing our backcourt, I think Taylor is a patently bad choice.
