    Sounds more to me like his career is over except nobody is admitting it.

    There's no trade tool here or we would have traded Sura away when he was out after back surgery.

    GM's do not like doing 3:1 deals.

    Damn, Stevie. I wanted this season to work out for him, and for the Rockets. :(

    Alright, now bring back Cuttino for an extra boost...really.

    Buy Out Les?
    Please not another Sura.
    You know Francis is taking that option, and will probably never suit up again.
    :(

    Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill kept up their comeback attempts past 31.

    Francis might ATTEMPT to come back, but who knows how effective he'll be. Or if he'll even make the team.

    This is potentially Les & Morey lucking the F out. If they were able to trade Snyder for a TE to get under LT they would have done it yesterday.

    The Rockets need to cut 1.5M to get under luxury tax, If Francis qualifies that's around 2.4M not counted towards team salary. That's 900k under LT if they can get it.

    It probably is over. It's very sad.
