    I don't want to start a new thread about this, but if Gundy were still here, do you think this would still happen?

    lol Gundy wouldn't know how to use a roster like this. It'd still be the same grind it out 8 player rotation with Bonzi and Francis sitting on the bench.

    lets go ahead and get rid of jl3/snyder/sura for some future draft picks. Our roster is set for this season and even if things dont work out we'll have the dp's to play with and build during mid-next season

    I am just curious whether there is a possibility that the Rockets fans will send all Yao /TMAC /SF /Scola /Battier to AllStar. The chance is low, but Yao/TMAC/SF three guys in AllStar is possible.

    That's the thing, I mean, I think Rockets management is basically saying forget the last four years, Van Gundy was a mistake.

    Aaron Brooks better get some minutes. i think he is the best PG on the Rockets and he has the potential to be something special. How long do you think Francis will get benched for Brooks?

    Welcome Back Stevie.. The rest of the west now has Rockets Fear... Francis may be 30 years old but he has 2 extra years in him from being under utilized in orlando and NY

    WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

    think back to last season where so many games our bench scored basicallyl nothing, and that one playoff game where only 4 players registered points...

    WE DEFINITELY LACKED firepower last year offensively, but now, we're brimming over the top, dripping with talent and it feels so great to be in this position, id much rather worry about how we gonna fit in all our scorers then worry about if anyone can score... im sure coach A will get it all together, rosters are bit of a mess, , time to clear out the garbage and still some fine tuning to do, but i think the majority of surprises are done for this off season, wow still cant get over how much talent we have, go morey! :eek: :D :eek: :D :) :cool: :cool: :p

    WOW.

    It's hard to say Francis is a great fit on this team, but he's a good talent and for the price (haven't seen the amount yet, but I know we didn't have much money) definitely worth it.

    Not to mention the trade bait we have now to make upgrades. Looks like James/Francis/Brooks will be at PG.

    After watching some of those Steve Francis highlight clips, he really might be the only guy in the league who amazes and frustrates me with his highlights.

    Some of those moves are damn amazing but he takes 15 seconds on each of them to dribble and waste time. When your overdribbling shows up on highlight films, you've got some issues.

    That being said, bravo on this signing. He's still a good player and it's not like we're paying much for him..
