    Who didn't get "lied" when being traded? Rose to Raptors, remember? Technically, it WAS just "speculation" before the deal gets done. At least JVG didn't flat out deny such a "speculation". Steve, take it like a man.

    I understand SF might feel a bit hurt though.

    Who gives a **** if JVG lied. I'm tired of the Rockets doing the right thing or the classy thing. Put a ****ing winner on the floor, I don't give a **** how.

    Karla thinks the same way when he's giving people elbows to the head. Great world we live in.

    Just wait until SF is traded. He's going to go off like the 4th of July.

    Yeah, but he handles his biz. He doesn't let the inmates run the asylum.

    Over the past season Francis has really gone out of his way to prove to the public how much of a whiny, self-serving little attention w**** he really is. The idiot doesn't get it and likely never will.

    Good luck in Orlando Stevie. You're going to need it to get your head on straight and your career going in the direction we all thought it would have gone. Personally I see this as being a major downfall that he may never recover from.

    What did Jeffrey say when he got here?

    "I'm a Mutherf...ing muther....er."

    I wonder if Steve still has his "lucky" suit. Maybe he can wear that again next year. Oh, btw, Steven. Don't freeze out the rookie star this time. Karma's a b****.

    TTFN! Air kisses!

    Yr pal,

    I feel bad for Dwight Howard. Any idea on why he wants T-Mac back?

    My prediction, assuming the trade goes down:

    Francis is so determined to show JVG up that he averages 40 PPG versus the Rox next year. Of course, his teammates rarely see the ball during those games, which we win by 20 points or so.

    So without proof, automatically it's widely assumed JVG flat out lied to Steve?

    Even though, it was known that Steve lied to the media about the Superbowl?

    Then he lied about having breakfast with JVG? I don't think any man would deny/lie about eating breakfast, Francis just looked silly.

    Get over Rudy Roc Paint. Go be a Laker fan.... ugh

    JVG has done a great job cleaning out Rudy's trash -- moochie, cato, francis, mobley -- there goes the "clique". These are players that some of us though that we would NEVER be able to move... and now we're getting McGrady :D Go JVG!

    In other news, in JVG's interview -- anyone notice it looked like he got about as much sleep as we all have been getting lately? :) McGrady brings out the insomniacs in all of us!

    He said, she said....who cares. Just get McGrady here and let's move on.

    And good luck to Francis in Orlando. I will root for their success.

    Maybe if he HAD worked a little harder to grasp JVG game plan, he would'nt be getting Traded!:)

    It's good to know that, given proper motivation, Steve can and will improve his game dramatically. The shame of it is that said motivation had to be srictly personal, as opposed to, say, the team winning.


    Re: JVG's lying. One thing not mentioned, that I see, is where in the negotiations did the conversation take place. If it was early, and/or if JVG was not appraised of the extent of the progress, what's he supposed to say? Confrim every trade dicussion as rumoured? Yeah, that would lead to a happy locker room, and moreover, would really make his bosses happy with him. Standard operating procedure.
