when does houston have to send their 1st round draft choice to vancouver as part of the steve francis deal ------------------
I believe we have until 2004 (though it may be 2003) to give up that pick .... but like the ones Orlando and Detroit owe us, it does not have to be a pick that belongs to us because of our record. I think we can acquire a late first rounder and part with it -- though the specifics on that I'm not sure of. ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
