    looking at the Magic the one thing they are missing is a Post player that can score down low, Mo Taylor would be a good fit off the bench to go along with turk battie and nelson, the only problem is they don't have any one to match Motay contract, that they would give up.

    Don't you think if they wanted Mo Taylor they would have taken him in the trade for McGrady?

    They didn't want him then and they don't need him now.

    that is not true. Look at the profiles of those they took.

    Mo is an ok baller with an obscene contract. That does not make him an obscene baller, just a Rocket, 'for life' (or so it feels).

    Please do not forget, CBA, NBDL, WNBA, And Europe.

    I also doubt he or Juwan could make the Michigan Basketball team right now.

    who said he was obscene? The fact is right now there is no way we could make a trade that involved MoT. It has to do more with the numbers he's not putting up not is contract.

    yet still I'd rather get rid of Howard...

    Numbers + Potential - Contract = Trade Value.

    Mo = Low Numbers, Low Potential, High $ = all but untradeable.

    Nobody wants his fat contract. I hope the Rockets dump his ass once we pay him off.

    Wesibroad has repeatedly stated he wants hard nosed hockey type players. Why would he want Mo the Marshmellow? :confused:

    Mobley want him there. . . .

    he threw them under the bus when they left

    Francis is destined to impede his development. Francis cannot thoroughly co-exist with a dorminant low post player.

    clark- Do you watch the Rockets with any regularity? Specifically the last few games?

    Francis and Yao never had anywhere close to the type of game Yao and TMac had last night. When TMac scored 48 against Dallas, Yao had 27. That didn't happen last year. Proof positive? Both Yao and TMac are averaging 20+ in December. Neither Yao nor Francis averaged 20 last year.

    The problem is, JJ has lost a step, Mo has forgotten how to shoot, and the rest of the team is playing like garbage.
