    This helps to restore my faith in morey cause he can admit his mistakes. Bringing francis back was morey's worse move since he arrived and I'm glad he finally got rid of that mistake. I will have a toast to morey tonight. For those complaining about head, I would rather have with two broken legs over francis, cause francis is done and is absolutely useless now. Morey should get executive of the year for this move. :D :cool:

    Sorry, but i could careless if you believed me. I followed Steve since he was at San-Jac. I loved what he did for us when we stole him from Vancouver. You can say "check my posts", but if I did that I would see you are a huge Rafer hater (or your sig). Please feel free to check on mine. Knowing Francis was done is not exactly an accomplishment. If you followed the Rockets you knew he was not even close to playing.

    You doubt I'm interested in facts? I doubt you you don't want to dress up as Santa and have Francis sit on your lap. You're clueless. It's ok though. I like seeing the AB step up and I'm real happy our PG position is solidified. Whoever plays better can finish the game. Reality clearly is not something you are interested in. Run along and cheer for Memphis

    Don't be surprised if the Grizzlies buy him out and he tries 2 come back to The Rockets after 30 days for the vet. minimum. I'm not a die hard Francis fan but this has been going on lately in the NBA.

    nobody wants luther, and two days ago the coach of the griz said he wants another go to scorer and i guess the griz must know/think francis still has something. I can't wait til the grizzlies game thursday, hopefully steve can play. He's already said hes going to get minutes in memphis and "get buckets". I will hate morey if steve ends up scoring 12+ this season, good luck steve

    Yes, but in those cases..brent barry last year and mcdyess this year, the team that traded them actually wants the player back. The rockets want no part of francis and he was only on the team this year cause he exercised his player option. Without that, he wouldn't have even been a rocket this year.

    I hate to see Francis go. It's obvius that he was not gonig to get a chance hear so it will be great to see him play somewhere else. They had to trim the dead weight so they started with Francis, now TMac is next. He should have been first.

    nahh screw all you that think this move is nice...i mean let sf3 play where he can get real pt but if this is to resign deke screw that....the dude is to old and much of a liability on offense.

    best of luck to sf3 and hope he does well he deserves a chance and should have been a piece of houston's set. this pisses me off he should have gotten a chance

    If you could care less what I think about you, why do you proceed to try and justify your "historic support" for steve francis? You contradict yourself in the first 2 sentences of your post...Lol. Now that's an accomplishment.

    Now on to the rest of your jumbled rant. You said something to the effect that I didn't praise Alston for having a good game last night when in fact I did. Yet, one good game doesn't erase 3 + years of poor play. I told you to go check my posts in the game thread, but as I suspected, you're not really interested in a debate, just name calling. I've been on a few message boards and recognize the different types of posters and you seem to be one that's quick to get emotional and resort to name calling.

    Rockets need to resign Mutombo, At Cleveland, when Yao was on the bench, we even have nobody to get Rebounds, this may be one of the reasons. Also, Francis went to Grizzlies may also good to him, he want to play, but as a rocket man, this wish may never come true. So we can reguard this trade is good to both Rockets and Francis. Best wishes!

    I'm faithful in Francis, sorry to hear about the news he leave.

    Whatever you say. "The internet is serious business." Wow. You are a huge Rafer hater trying to deflect everything towards my dirrection. Cool, no big deal. Apparrently, you chose not to research my posts at all. My points can be found in text, your's, not so much.

    Emotional on the internet? Not at all bro. That's just pathetic. That's normally a cop-out for people such as yourself. Not a chance were you can find a post of mine and even detect a hint of anger. You, seem like you have a Rafer Alston Voo-Doo doll you stab every 15 seconds, but yet try not to acknowledge a vengetta.

    Happy Holidays bro. Honestly, it's not that serious

    i agree. We traded SF3 and kept Luther Head? Why do we need Luther Head when we have Von Wafer?

    With T-mac back, and artest battier and von wafer....and rafer and brooks at the point, and on top of that you have a very inconsistent head? Trade head and give SF3 a chance to play. It's just ridiculous that he didn't even get to play a single game. The guy has been a practice fiend but he hasn't been healthy either....and it's tough for a former star to be wear he is at.

    I think it was a bad move, SF3 isn't done and he will play well in Memphis. I don't blame him for wanting to play....and if he wasn't going to play we had to move him, but this is a loss for us. Better to have traded luther head.

    Glad to see they finally got rid of him. Those of you that think you know more about Steve's potential impact on this team is laughable. He was obviously showing absolutely nothing in practice and the team felt like staying under the luxury tax is better than his zero contribution to the team. How ANYONE can question Morey at this point baffles me. The dude is pure money.

    As I have said over and over, SF3 is DONE! Maybe now some of you that are still stuck in the late 90's will finally believe that.
