    Rhester,

    I would take Brand over Francis every day of the week and so would EVERY other GM in the NBA.

    Brand is a legitimate 20-10 guy and a good defender.

    Steve...well the fans vote him an all star, but we know better.

    incredibly weak statement.

    basketball is basketball--shoot, pass, rebound, defend, etc.--either you know how to play the point guard position or you don't. if you need a system to prop up your game, you are not by any stretch a great, or even a very good player.

    yipengzhao , I'll ignore your next to last post since your last post actually tries to discuss the matter with some thoughts.

    I will reinterate, my 1st post was to point out that Miller wasn't much better than Francis. I brought it up because I've seen many posts with people wanting to trade for him. I never at any point try to say Francis is better than Miller.

    However, your 1st reply was to point out that Miller in fact was superior to Francis. Here is your post:

    I ask you about team philosophy, you didn't reply.
    I gave you the career high's, you made no acknowledgment of it.
    I counter your 11asts with reb, pts, & 3FG%, you didn't acknowledge it neither.

    In that post, I mentioned:
    I made it very clear that I don't believe Steve is better than Andre, but why are you asking me again now in your last post?

    My original intent is to show trading Francis for Miller does not improve our team. You come in to argue (discuss) that I'm wrong. If I am wrong, it can only mean that
    1) Miller is in fact better than Francis
    or
    2) that you think Miller will help this team get to the championship.

    You are saying that neither 1) nor 2) is true, then please tell me why did you reply to my original post the way you did?
