does this hurt or help the knicks chances of landing sessions?

 

[kiddin like jason]

I guess those Hornets/Grizzlies reports came from an ESPN Radio affiliate a few days ago. That's what I've read, at least.

For Immediate Release

Clippers Waive Mike Taylor

Friday, July 31, 2009

The Los Angeles Clippers today waived guard Mike Taylor

Taylor played in 51 games for the Clippers last season, making five starts and averaging 5.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 15.1 minutes.
The first-year player was drafted by Portland on June 26, 2008 and then traded to the Clippers in exchange for a 2009 second round draft pick.

I'm surprised the Clippers waived Taylor.

He looked like a decent back up PG from what I saw.

Me too, I was a big fan of Taylor.

I guess they feel confident with the oft-injured B. Diddy & Bassy.

Taylor > Telfair

 

[i nasmatic i]

Yeah, the Clippers broadcasters always mentioned Taylor as a building block towards the future last season (with Eric Gordon and DeAndre Jordan).

 

[HIM]

at us getting rid of Taylor. He was wild with the ball but the defense+hustle was appreciated. Hope he does well with whatever team he goes to. Gonna missthose highlight dunks http://www.youtube.com/v/czyNkeDJuZY&hl=en&fs=1&http://www.youtube.com/v/czyNkeDJuZY&hl=en&fs=1&

Meeting between Miami Heat and free-agent guard Jamaal Tinsley called off


By Ira Winderman Sun Sentinel
7:33 PM EDT, July 31, 2009


A meeting between the Miami Heat and free-agent point guard Jamaal Tinsley is off.

Tinsley, who negotiated a buyout last week from the Indiana Pacers after being held out all of last season, was scheduled to meet with Miami Heat President Pat Riley this weekend.

Tinsley's hometown New York Knicks are considered a favorite for the veteran playmaker, and the Memphis Grizzlies and Philadelphia 76ers are also said to be interested.

Lamar's decision was extremely hard for him (you can hear it in his voice) and almost signed with the Heat. Interview in link

I think Flash has one foot out the door, unless they can get Boozer.

 

[fenixconnexion.]

praying for this J-Will miracle to come true

 

[uclamike]

taylor couldn't hit the rim in the summer leauge which is why i think they went after bassy and now waived him

 

[ramzs8906]

Is anyone else still trying to make sense of that Okafor/ Chandler trade?

And Why aren't the Knicks busting down Jamal TInsley's door?

I think I saw somebody refer to the Clippers as "us" while discussing Mike Taylor.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Hmm... I didn't know Mike Taylor has ups like that.
