    Which would you rather have if you could only have one. Assume that the other player will be traded for comparable value.

    I voted Mobley because I think he's a better 2 guard than Francis.

    Taller, better defense, experience. And he's not a black hole to this team.

    I agree with you. I also think we would get more in return for Francis. Ideally we would keep both and Francis would learn to play PG better though.

    Define comparable value. Do you mean Trade Cuttino for someone as valuable as Cuttino or Trade Francis for someone as valuable as Francis? Or do you mean trade Cuttino for someone who is making 31 mil over six years or trade Francis for someone making 85 mil over 7 years?

    Mobley or Francis? Why the heck would you pick Mobley! Francis owns Mobley in everything. Mobley is only like 1 inch taller anyway.

    He said you could get something comparable in return. Is Kidd "comparable" to Francis?

    2 gaurds score more. Francis scores more than Mobley.

    All the guy is asking is who you would rather keep.

    Yao/Francis sounds better than Yao/Mobley.

    this guy and then use all the negatives to attack both in the
    future

    So you are calling people "dumbasses" when you don't even understand the poll.

    The question is:

    Yao/Franchise Player in Trade/Mobley/
    versus
    Yao/Francis/Complementary Player in Trade

    If that was the question, then it would not be applicable. It obviously has something to do with hatred undertones. If you are getting "comparable" talent, wouldn't the value be the same?

    ???

    Francis is worth more in trade than Mobley. That is what was meant my "comparable value" in return. You get Francis value back and keep Mobley versus getting Mobley value back and keep Francis. Do you think the thread starter meant a fantasy trade scenario like where Francis and Mobley fetch the same PG, and we get to pick which SG to keep with the new PG.

    ???

    Okay i really dont know what can you get with Francis. I have no idea what other teams think of him. I mean is he good enough for Kobe or is he good enough for Brand??? I dont know. But i know what you can get with Mobley. Someone like Snow or Crawford. Steve Francis and Snow would be nice:D
