Re: Here's a trade to make

I agree.  Taylor is as soft as goose down, and hasn't
played a lick of defense in his career.  Of the two, I
would prefer Malik Rose.  But trading for a starting
forward is dumb.  We will have a completely healthy
Raef LaFrentz next year.  Why is Ainge looking at these
band-aid trades?
