    Geez ... let's let him recover from his injury first, and have him try to see if he can come back, before questions like this.

    (shaking my head)

    :eek:

    If only we were so lucky. The guy is a waste of a roster spot.

    Joey Dorsey last game looking physical in the post. Hayes grabbing double digit boards... Look...can Yao just RETIRE already? I mean...yeah we know that he has a past history of contributing on the pro level and he's been an All Star and all ..

    but he's always missing games to injury anyway, and I'm only seeing whats in front of me TODAY. And today Landry is quicker and jumps higher, gets more offensive boards...

    Alright that was plenty lame :eek: to me its if Francis can play then good, if he can't play then good. A 13th man that will be inactive half the games, or a 13th man who will (if ever halfway healthy) lend veteran leadership, proven scoring, and identity.

    He will probably want a chance at a ring this year too

    The Rockets won't bail on Francis just yet - there's too much potential upside to a healthy Francis. A better risk that a rookie who they can send to the developmental league.

    Championships need vetern support guys like Francis. Not rookies who didn't make the first round.
