    Foxsports Video: Mobley on the Block.

    http://www.foxsports.com/content/view?contentId=2512354

    i know it's probably unlikely, i wish they really aren't going to trade mobley. This video is of mobley talking about the T-Mac trade and how noone has talked to him yet. It's very interesting because he sounds alittle pissed.



    oh and forgive me if this has been posted, but the forum was locked out for like a day and a bit because of obvious reasons. It may have been posted already

    This reminds me of when these Russian astronauts came back to earth and the Berlin Wall had fallen and they didn't know what was going on...

    Mobley wasnt told of the deal but Francis was? I thought it was good form to tell everyone? They should have told Mobley and not Francis :(

    Obviously Mobley knew about the rumors from reading newspapers and watching ESPN. However, he was never contacted by the organization which I think is very disrecpectful.

    Yep, Mobely is pissed. We better trade him now. I can't believe that Fried (Steve's agent) let this out of the bag. What a jerk. The Rockets need to lock this up quick.

    Maybe CD was tryin to do the classy thing and let his star player know ahead of time that he was going to be delt to the magic. The only problem is that our star is a nuckle head :(

    Isn't this reminiscent of those stories from the '60's when they found Japanese "soldiers" still on remote islands, thinking WWII was still on?

    It is the classy thing, but business is business. I think that just about anyone should have known that there was a chance that Francis could have a fit and mess this thing up. Why take that chance. As far as I'm concerned the only player that has earned that right would be Hakeem.

    I heard we might get Clyde Drexler.

    Just a rumor though.

    But the best part of the video is how Cuttino says that he either must not be part of the trade or just isn't thought to be a big part of it. Obviously, he knows that he's a part of the deal, but he is clearly annoyed that Francis is getting all this attention and he's being overlooked. In Mobley's mind, it's not a McGrady for Francis deal. It's a McGrady for Francis and Mobley deal. He wants equal billing.

    Plus, Francis has made some really uncool comments about "rebuilding" and how he needs Shaq on his team. That's a total diss of his teammates Cat and Cato. Am I the only one who thinks that they'd have a solid team capable of rebuilding and making the playoffs all next year? They're in the Eastern Conference which is just 3 teams deep.
