The Rockets should trade Francis - this year.

what in the world could you get in return? i'd be all for it, i just don't think you'd get a thing worth talking about.

 

DanDAkoda,

Iloev to read uor posts! I rode a bout this weth my AOL spot blog1 Stevey Franshize shoud be tradded! MAbrey teh HOusten Rokcets well tradd weth the MAjic for GG REddik?

 

To who and for what?
Any and all value he had before the season has taken a plummet.

 

Cmon man ur just being a Stevie hater. Do you realy trust a Luther head or a rafear alston in the playoffs. Granted Stevie has had a bad year but its not like he's a cancer on the team. If an injury were 2 occur wouldn't you want a decent backup. He still has some serious upside and can still contribute to this team. Rafaer has had a very good year by his standards but he still is a mediocre pg. Steve Francis just three years a good was a star. He just needs to prove himself in practice and he'll get PT. At worse he could ride the pine all year and opt out of his contract. Tendenitis is a serious injury that causes great pain but it's not career theartening. With RA as coach u never kno whats cmon in terms of rotation; Stevie still can have a positive impact on the team. Hes get paid relatively little compared to James and the Rockets are not looking 2 trade him. if stevie were 2 rejuvinate his career then his best chance is in Houston

Ur just hating on Stevie and all the pro-Stevie posters

 

man i love all your post DD but this one i don't think you did your homework on or everyone has been mislead because i am hearing that stevie's knee is in such bad shape that his career may be over. just heard matt bullard on 610 yesterday talking about this also. he was saying the samething that his career may be over due this knee injury. so the only thing you could trade for is someone looking for cap relief for next year that is about it never any type of pick

 

It might be worth waiting. You know Adelman is going to play Franchise again. If Mike James gets a couple of minutes here and there it's a cinch that Francis will eventually, and who knows? At the very least he can't lower his trade value any further.

 

I was reading that Sacremento is willing to part with Artest and is looking for cap relief and picks; given that, we could use Francis' expiring contract with others and trade for him.

Kings get Francis + Snyde + Bonzi + 2nd rounder...(All expiring and pick)
Rockets get Artest.

Flame on...

 

Without him, the rockets could only get 27-28 wins so far!

 

I"m still cheering for the dude. Go Franchise!

 

At this point, Steve Francis is filler for a trade. Ain't that ain't all bad, should the need arise.

 

Is it just me or does each new thread seem to get exponentially worst with each additional day off. Not looking forward to All-Star break it'll be torture.

 

yeah I saw this post I think my eyes are bleeding.

 

I think you just puke on everything.

 

Imagine if we bought out Francis' contract.

Dude would have collected two big paychecks (obviously Portland's was much bigger) in less than six months after having played less than 200 min during that span, the equivalent of about 5-6 games for a starter.

 

Pick up JJ Redick? and now trade Steve Francis? He will either contribute for us or nobody. He knows it.. we know it and other GM's damn well know it.
