    My props go out to Ballboy1, I think he was the first to say that SF3 was heading back home to H-Town.

    So let me take a look at Clutchfans...ho hum...Scola stuff...crazy item in the news thanks to Hotballa...someone posted another YouTube link...OMFG SF3 IS A ROCKET!!!!111!!!1#@$%Aadfajgohlnre.

    Awesome. What a freakin' off season. And we thought getting Swift and Anderson would put us over the top a few years ago. If you made a team out of our bench right now, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't finish 30th next season. We basically traded Mobley, Cato, and 2 yrs of Steve's services for Tmac. Excellent.

    LOL - That is like you asking me to be objective about V-Span....

    I am happy he is back, and I believe that Adelman will get more out of him (maybe not numbers wise but team wise).

    Steve is coming to a team with two players he knows are the leaders of the team, he will be able to just fit in for the first time since he was drafted he will not be asked to lead.....

    This will be good for him, I think.

    Remember, Francis has never played with 2 big superstars in his life. Maybe we can be the new 3 headed monsters.

    I think this is a great move. Someone already said it, but when you have a chance to add talent, you do it. Steve has talent. If Adelman can control Bonzi, Artest and others, he can make Steve fit into his system. If i was betting, i would say that we would see move of Steve at the 2 than at the 1. Steve is a great finisher at the basket and I think that Adelman can exploit that ability on other 2's and get Steve easy baskets. Steve moves well and Adelman will be able to use that with great success. Go Rockets!!

    Bad idea... Head must be traded for a big man. Lots of teams want combo guards like him. Get Jeff Foster, Nick Collison, Reggie Evans, Brian Skinner, PJ Brown, Tony Battie, Drew Gooden, Etan Thomas... Tons of serviceable backup big men out there.

    In the words of Jeff Spicoli:

    AWESOME! TOTALLY AWESOME!

    ALRIGHT MOREY!

    I've never been so excited about a team on paper before. Let's hope they all pan out and get us a championship. Anything less will be disappointing.
