You'd think it would take a known cancer much longer to be signed.(rolling eyes) Oh Well.....good for him.

The kings sign him? Do those guys over there know what the hell they need? A team like that turns around and wins the championship. They make stupid moves the all of a sudden the are at the top of their division.

I can't wait to see Frye and Curry dunking on Mo Taylor. I wish he went to a team we got to play more than twice a year.

Be careful what you wish for.

Mo T is now the enemy?

idiots who like the Mo Taylor trade man up!

I guess the renaissance is over?

I predict that Artest will kick his ass before the All-Star break.

personally i've watched Mo Taylor completely own Kurt Thomas in games they played against each other when KT was a Knick... the guy can ball, but last year was simply a debacle of epic proportions on all levels... Mo T isn't to be singled out by any means... i'd place a helluva lot more blame on some of the so-called "leaders" on this team than on a role player who hardly got any regular playing time last year...

that said, i have a feeling Mo T will help that SAC team... he will help form a very physical front court backing up Kenny Thomas & playing alongside Brad Miller, Artest & Big Nasty.

Bad chemistry makes players look worse. He didn't fit in here and needed to go, but he isn't that bad a player. In the right role he can be a good scorer.

or had no plans for vin and moochie and wanted the roster spot for another player.

it was a one year trade, in a multiple year plan for a player that was expiring one year later than the two players he traded.

Sounds like a plan to me, not something to do to cause a buzz.

And definitely not a pointless trade...he just didn't work out, so we replaced him with curry.

just my opinion, but the spin forced me to reply...not sure why that was the direction it had to go in though.

MoT was a good post up player that could hit an open jumper, he was replaced by Channing Frye and Eddy Curry.

Would you have had a plan for him this year?

Just goes to show that Isiah had absolutely no plan for the guy, just traded for him to make it look like he was doing soemthing and cause a buzz. Pointless trade.

The Mo T trade was bad no matter what. We had a backcourt glut already when we traded for him, we took his longer contract for an contract that expired this Summer. We didn't get any draft picks and we gave up a 2nd rounder. How in anyway did it make sense? We already had Sweetney and Kurt Thomas doing our backcourt scoring that season. So what was the point of a short term fix? Plus, I thought Moochie was doing pretty decent for us in limited minutes. Nothing was good about that trade. Nothing.

from a monetary standpoint, it was a bad trade for the Knicks to make, but most fans are more upset that they had to give up a draft pick on top of taking on his salary in the deal... this is why fans have a problem w/Isiah... he consistently gives up more than it should require to get the players he trades for... it's not the talent of the player that's in question (except for Jerome James of course, who has no talent to speak of, but that was a FA signing & was a horrible move to make regardless of the terms of that deal)

i happen to think Mo T had alot more to contribute to this team than he was allowed to give... but that's water under the bridge now.

and MoT is contributing more than sweetney and kurt thomas combined.

Are you joking???
