    If he is done then he is done. Now would be the perfect time to see if that is true. bodies are dropping like crazy and there is plenty of playing time. That should be enough motivation for him to step it up :D

    No, it is not the perfect time. Francis only jsut got back to being able to participate in full training. He is not ready to jump into a NBA game.

    He might not get it, but he'll definitely be fighting for some minutes. He wanted to join the team on the road trip, but the coaching staff decided he'd do better to rehab at home.

    He said at training camp, they were aiming for him to be ready by the All-Star Break.
    They are going to take all the time they need to make sure what happened last season, does not happen again!

    i like steve. hopefully he can play with AB on the backcourt. if he's good, we can finally move luther and von wafer for some cap space for deke or another big guy.

    Francis should play as a backup for our SG position. He can have more minutes once Tmac is injury.

    Morey was on 610 today and I think he said Steve is suiting up due to the injuries. Sorry, I missed part of it.

    Now's his chance to get in there and earn some playing time.

    Makes sense, we have 14 players......2 of which are injured....TMac and Barry.....leaving 12 spots open...suit him up.
