Move over Shaq! Good to see we are getting respect around the NBA. How big is Steve Francis? He's going to be on the cover of ESPN the Magazine's NBA preview magazine. ... The Rockets are looking at bringing two non-roster players to training came, forwards Lorenzo Johnson and Stais Bozeman. Both were on the summer league team. Bozeman was impressive, showing the shooting range Rudy Tomjanovich covets. Both are longshots to make the team. ... With the trade of Bryce Drew, none of the Rockets' three first-round picks from 1999 are still with the team. Mirsad Turkcan was traded before his first training camp to open salary cap room to sign Scottie Pippen. Michael Dickerson was the key to swinging the deal for Steve Francis. ... The Rockets have 14 players under contract. http://www.foxsports.com/nba/hou/teamreport.sml ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

What was Elton Brand not available (note the sarcasm). ------------------ "Only Hakeem Olajuwon is a better athlete." Dick Versace, when referring to Antonio McDyess before the draft.
Francis is the first player for the Rockets to get alot of attention and alot of hype. Hakeem didn't get this much hype and he won 2titles. Francis has been on more mags in his rookie year than Hakeem has been on in his whole career. Im not complaining Im just saying. I love to see Francis on mags.
