    Found this in the Orlando forum, has anybody else heard this on 610?

    "I have no control over it, but no I dont want to play in Orlando. It isn't really my kind of place. Besides, that team is terrible and they don't got no fans

    Steve Francis' comments to Matt Jackson on 610 radio in Houston. sounds like Steve Francis has no interest in playing for the worst team in the NBA.

    I don't know, but unless somebody here heard it (and would have posted it immediately, I guarantee you people on this board are listening to 610 right now) then I think somebody is just trolling over there for kicks.

    I hope this doesn't turn into the 99' draft again. LOL, I don't know why Steve would be upset about not having a lot of fans, its not like we had a HUGE turnout this year at the TC.

    Sounds like Steve is doing whatever he can to try and make Orlando sour on the deal.

    I hate to see Steve go, but getting a top 5 player in return is a chance that you have to take.

    i would call that questionable. Not sure of the validity. If it turns out to be true then not sure why he would want to damage himself right before the deal, its not going to change it.

    That makes me wonder.

    Will the ToyBox fill up like a rainbucket if we get Tmac?

    That was never reported. It would be ALL over 610 if that had been said. No way that just gets a passing mention on Matt Jackson's show and nothing else.

    Someone made some crap up.

    Why would Matt Jackson be on 610 right now? I was listening up until about 30 minutes ago, and it was David Dalati doing the updates...he didn't say anything about this. Matt doesn't come on the air until 8:00 pm I think.
