I know this sounds stupid, and it probably is stupid, but since he's now available, why not speculate alittle bit? How about Swift + Alston for Francis, or something like that? By starting this thread, I am trying to start a discussion and running the risk for getting seriously flamed. It's OK, I got life insurance. "Like a good neighbor StateFarm it there!"
Don't think so. JVG wouldn't want him back, not to mention it would KILL us to have 3 max paid players.
No Alston. I'd want Francis to play the 2 with Alston the 1. Send them Wesley, Moochie, Swift, and our draft pick. Alston Francis TMac Yao Howard JL3 Head Barry/Rybo Deke Baxter DA NBDL CBA
I don't know why people keep bringing this up??You got to be kidding francis is not a 2..He may play like it sometimes, but he is a point guard and is not a catch in shoot player.Why do you think orlando really started sucking after the mobley trade.HE would help the rockets because he would be abloe to break down the dfense because he can get to the hole, but instead of kicking the ball out to cat you would have him kicking it out to t mac.If we could get francis for rafer and swift I would do it.
i was waiting for how long somebody would start a thread like this. I don't think it'll happen in a million years but its nice pipe dream for us few francis fans.
Alston has been playing very well...I can't wait to see him with Yao and Tmac and Swift....gonna be good...just probably too late in the season to matter. DD
Trading for Francis? No. Getting involved in a three way trade with Steve going somewhere else, and a decent player coming here? Let's talk.
4 years. He can work here basketball wise, but he really can't work here basketball wise, know what I'm saying? It would be nice, really really wierd, akward for everyone for sure though.
umm, if we can get Francis you do it, maybe he'll resign with us for less money to play with Yao when his contract is up, if we have Francis-tmac-yao, we become instant contenders say what you will about him, he is a solid scorer and can get to the basket, and in crunch time we wont have to worry about turnovers because of tmac .. but i doubt it'll happen
No kidding, he quit on the Orlando team, why would we want him here? The guy is a good player who thinks he is great. Pass........... DD
