    Unfortunately, it is possible that Francis won't sign with us in 2 years, but there's nothing we can do about that. However, he has said that he wants to be in Houston forever, and our team should be pretty good by then -- no reason to leave a contender built around him. Francis will be a Rocket for life.

    I know there is a good chance Horry25 is not stupid, but why not still ruin another USER-ID for him by calling him a pathetic troll.

    Since he is a FA after next year, I dont know if he will exactly sign with the Rocks....I know he loves Houston and everything, but maybe he might pull-of a SHAQ!

    If you remember,when SHAQ was a F.A! SHAQ said he loved Orlando and wanted to finish his career there, but he somehow ended up with the Lakers.

    I hope Francis doesnt do this!

    If I am not mistaken, the Rockets hold a team option for the 4th year so Francis cannot leave after the 2001-2002 season.

    Hello troll! I'm bored! Are you too?

    Why is it that everytime BC defeats a major conference opponent, that opponent promptly goes on a losing streak?

    Trolls live to state the purposely stupid, because they have no social skills to actually get real responses on a board like this.

    pathetic!

    I'll dignify this thread with a serious response. Actually Vengeance, there is something we can do about it. Because Francis was a first round pick, he will be a Restricted Free Agent at the end of his 4 years with the rockets. As such, the rockets ahave the ability to match any contract that Francis is offered by another team. As long as we are willing to pay the cash, we can keep him for at least the term of another contract. It may only be for another year, but its something.

    The real danger is if he demands a trade/release. There is not much you can do if a player is unhappy and wants out.
