    if you had the choice - to keep only one, francis or ming. who would you keep ?

    considering you cannot trade the player you dont want, he just doesnt play

    What a silly question that will only end up with more drama. If the Rockets staff didn't think they'd get along, they might as well have drafted Jay Williams, or held him up for trade bait...

    Both,

    We don't have to choose, they are our Kobe and Shaq.

    We should have no problems keeping both but if we HAD to choose one I would go w/ Francis.

    He's reliable and w/o him we flat out SUCK.

    We have both. There is no need to choose between the two, or put them up against each other. Let's just be happy we have these two talented young guys to build around.

    Ming -- Because you can't teach size. ha! What a cliche that has become!!! Don't get me wrong, I like Ming and I think he will be a nice *role player* next year, but right now there is no comparison b/w the two.

    Did you see our record last year without Steve? Without the migraines we wouldn't have been in the lotto in the first place.

    it's still Franchise's team, and will likely remain so. that's the great thing about Ming. he'd probably be content to let Stevie be the leader. just for kicks they could play spin the bottle some evening - let whomever it pointed too be king of the hill for a month; like they were kids or something - neato!
