    i was thinking...im pretty sure Griffin's gonna become quite a star, and with Francis and Mobes we have two other stars who are offensive powers. I have a bad feeling about so many great players...i don't want what happened to the Blazers happen to us. And I'm sure Taylor, who is somewhat of a star, doesn't want to take back seat to the rookie either. Who knows, maybe they can coexist but i dont think its likely. Is there any way we can deal Taylor for more of a defense-minded player?

    I agree that there certainly seems to be a Griffin - Mo Taylor conflict, assuming Taylor is unwilling to come off the bench.

    I agree that it is possible that Mobley is too selfish to co-exist with other "stars."

    Who could we go after if we were to deal Taylor? I know if one of those four (Mobley, Francis, Taylor, Griff) have to go, Francis and Griffin are pretty much untouchable, but i wouldnt wanna trade Cat, reason being that he's fearless and is actually a very good SG. I don't know why people are so high on Mo, his one on one game consists of: head fake head fake dribble crossover jump shot. Nothing too impressive. Why are we paying him all this money for ok point production and god awful defense?
