The question is if Francis doesn't straighten up and become more of a team player and demands a trade or worse just bolts with no compensation on our end, will we hate him worse than Pippen.
It's the same or worse, because like Pippen, he committed to us. At the beginning of this offseason, before the lottery, he said he would sign the maximum extension the day it was offered. We get the break of a lifetime by winning the lottery, we don't use it exactly his way, and he runs away? Is Ming proven? No. But there are certain challenges and risks you have to take to achieve greatness, and if Francis isn't going to sacrifice personal glory for team success, I don't want him here.
Until Francis starts demanding trades, stops playing through migraines, dribbles a ball off his foot in a key game and then starts b*tching at his teammate, and then declares next year's Rocket team as being better then the '95 championship team, I'm not going to put him in the same category as "Sir Quit-a-lot".
