But this will cheer you up - ESPN's projection of Taylor:

"Draft Projection: Second round to undrafted"

So he was a marginal draftee and we took him over 1st round talent. Yippee.


EG didn't want a second rounder on the team. Drafted a guy that won't make the squad. He can't unless Foye is gone and Young is gone and Stevenson gets no PT.

I get this, totally.


Glad to see you're still amongst the living.

Mo, I'm good.

This brings it all home. Don't even have to debate about Ernie any more.

Most of all, I'm not mad at any of you and I'm thinking so what else is new?


No worries my friend. I am just as p*** as you are.

We have to trade somebody we have technically 14 players


We do? We could add another free agent to make it 15. Look, they might keep Taylor and end up making a deal with James, Stevenson and somebody else to get another expiring contract who's a big. I don't know. I'm just wondering if there is a plan.

Of course the Spurs drafted Blair. Tells you all you need to know....

And the 1st-class organization picks up Blair.

Of course.

This is typical Ernie. He's just like EJ, they're constantly outsmarting themselves with their "creativity"

They're both gimmicks, who rely on gimmicks to make their names. Despite the fact that these gimmicks have failed to get us more than 45 wins.

Sure Taylor could be a sleeper, but why take a sleeper at SG when you have an amazing rebounder and a general tough guy which is exactly what you need?

Oh btw, guess who picked Blair up?

pick Jermaine Taylor - maybe Ernie was interrupted while watching Rocky and thought he was drafting a washed-up boxer
