Re: NBATalk says trade is bad for Boston

I have seen Mo play for the clips for years and he has never been a very good rebounder or defensive player and that is why he is scraping for the exception. Odom outrebounded him playing a lot at the guard position.  I like his mid range game  but that is about all he brings.  Although he has more potential, but I like the Brown acquisition to provide some veteran leadership and hopefully either push Kenny,  or make him expendable.
 
We should be all over a deal to send Kenny to Atlanta who has a lot of 4's and has been trying to swap Jackson for a point. We should offer Anderson & Mccarty, Williams or Battie  to Atlanta for Jim Jackson & Wright, Henderson, or Hanno Mottola ? I would take all of these guys over Battie at the 4 spot.
 
 
VP Wright
Walker/(Henderson Wright ? Mottola ?) Moiso
Pierce
Jackson
Brown/Pack
 
Wright and Jackson would allow Pierce to play the 2&3 spots & AW the 3&4 spots and provide a lot of different looks.

 Mo Taylor can play, which can hardly be said about the players that are being signed to the roster. He can be the kind of player Joe Smith is for Minnesotta (i.e.) play 4 when Walker plays 3 or come of the bench. He rebounds, plays defense and scores well..speed is not everything..he is quick. I don't see anybody paying him 9 mill, do you but for a reasonable contract he can be had. He would be lot better aquisition than Randy Brown, Robert Pack and Calbert Cheaney. Add there contracts and you are paying about 9 mill for 1/3rd the production of the player you are paying 9 mill. - Mishra

Where does Mo Taylor actually fit with us ? Too slow for the 3,  not physical enough fore the 4. We already have someone making about $9M a year that fits this bill.  He is this years Ron Mercer.

Absolutely right, why isn't Pitino doing a sign and trade for Maurice Taylor if he wants to win. Is he too expensive for Boston..after all what are Gaston and Pitino thinking, loading this team up with downright crappy players with long contracts. By the way how is this for a thought:

Perhaps, but it would be nice if trades had some effect on the number of
wins, which some of us morons......nevermind. This trade is crap out, crap
in. This is what happens when you keep acquiring one dimensional backups
like Fortson. Has Pitino done anything yet to convince anybody his tenure
in Boston hasn't been a total failure? How many years into this are we?
Robert Pack and Randy Brown added to a team that won how many games last
year? We're all grasping at straws.
