Extractions: Here it is, folks, the showdown you've all been waiting for. Which player is more productive - Maurice Taylor or a can of Diet Coke? A can of Diet Coke, you ask? Yes! As it turns out, the popular soda actually has more potential on a basketball court than the former Rockets forward. Check out this installment of The Rockets Report to find out why! Basketball News Services I have to give my partner Steve Kyler credit for inspiring this the train of thought that resulted in this comparative break down. He asked me what I thought of the trade that sent Maurice Taylor to the New York Knicks for Moochie Norris and Vin Baker. I was overjoyed, of course, that the Rockets re-acquired fan favorite Moochie Norris, but I told Steve that I would have happily traded Taylor for a can of Diet Coke, and that the Rockets would probably get better production from the Coke. Well, sometimes when you're in the car you wander off into another world and begin fantasizing about inexplicable weird things. This is exactly what happened as I drove from Dallas to Houston in anticipation of a showdown between the Rockets and Mavs. The following is the direct result of that temporary departure from reality. You're the general manager of the Houston Rockets, and you get a phone call from Isiah Thomas, asking you what you would take for Maurice Taylor. Thomas, you see, has an affinity for 6'8" players, and also for players who make much more money than they will ever truly earn. Taylor fits both of these categories, so Thomas is willing to do just about anything to get him into a Knicks uniform. Yes, you tell Mr. Thomas. I'll gladly send you Maurice Taylor, but you must send me a can of Diet Coke. The incredulous Thomas hungrily agrees and that swap is made. Who got the better end of the deal? Well, let's break it down.
Extractions: The NBA rumor mills are buzzing with news of a Portland/Houston trade that would see Derek Anderson and Maurice Taylor exchanging uniforms. Is there any truth to this rumor? Did Taylor fail yet another drug test? Can Derek Anderson even play in his condition? We'll explore all of these questions in this edition of the Rockets Report. Basketball News Services Here's how this rumor got started - and not recently, I might add. 1) Maurice Taylor is no longer on the Rockets' active roster and the team is playing better without him. He's being actively shopped by the team. 2) Derek Anderson has dropped out of the Blazers' rotation and is being actively shopped by the team. 3) Mo Taylor is playing out a contract that pays him $48.7 million and ends in 2007. 4) Derek Anderson is playing out a contract that pays him $48.7 million and ends in 2007. Those facts alone are more than enough to get message boards buzzing. Clearly the Blazers and Rockets are considering a swap, right?

Albert - Houston, TX Well, one of them already happened and that was us getting a new arena. Also, I know the guys who are on the team now are still going to be here since a lot of them are tied up long term because they're so young. With my being a free agent, I want to look at all my options. So the only thing that's going to affect my decision is basically just testing the market.
