interview with Magic writer on espnnews A sports director for the Magic TV station just said that the deal will probley go down tomarrow and the magic will then trade steve to either the sonics or wizards for either Ray allen or Gilbert arenas(sp)
I hope he goes to the Wizards then so he can play in his hometown that would be awesome but the Sonic deal is too good any link?
I put up a trade idea with Houston, Orlando, Washington and it had Stevie going to Wash and Arenas to Orlando. Hmm
That's r****ded if I'm Steve Francis. He doesn't like Orlando because "they're not good enough", so naturally he'd prefer..... Washington or Seattle?!?! If I were in his position I'd be just fine in Orlando. It'd be a mistake to leave. I wonder if anything will happen with Shaq to Orlando. That'd be fun to watch.
And what happens to Cuttino if they get Ray Allen? Sounds shady to me. Arenas is at least young and plays a position they will need. What "contending" teams have the pieces to get a guy like Francis? Who would want to and risk chemistry issues? Indiana? Uhhhhh.... wow he wouldn't fit on many contending teams.
I keep on hearing that BOKI was off the deal and then back on ... I mean is the deal going to be : Francis/Mobley/Cato for Tmac/Howard/Gaines/Lue Francis/Mobley/Cato for Tmac/Howard/DeClerq/Lue Francis/Mobley/Cato/Boki for Tmac/Howard/Gaines/Lue/DeClerq Francis/Mobley/Cato/Boki for Tmac/Howard/Gaines/Lue
It all has to do with the salary cap implications. Accorind to ESPN the deal that is in the works is this one. Francis/Mobley/Cato for Tmac/Howard/Gaines/Lue http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1825839
I can tell you this - I REALLY hope they trade Steve to the Wizards. I think it would be great for him to get to play at home. He and Juan are tight so good for him. I'd rather him not go to Seattle because that would give them 2 guys who's sole missions in life will be to destroy the Rockets! They better get more than Arenas for Steve.
Agreed. It would be cool to see him go home. But if Steve had a problem with Orlando not being in the playoff race...he is A LOT farther off in Washington! Not to mention, how is Francis going to work in Eddie Jordan's motion offense? Francis will sell tickets there though. And yeah, the Magic should get more than just Arenas for Francis. Maybe Jared Jeffries or Jarvis Hayes.
no but for some reason I do care... I think the Washington situation would be different and he would want to actually play there even if there not in the playoff race as of yet since it is his hometown
Please, baby, come to Seattle, Stevie. I am getting a season tickets if he comes, that would be sooo awsome.
He has an equal shot at the playoffs in Orlando and Washington... Seattle, in the West? Hek no, if I were him I'd push that Arenas deal... Well no, if I were him I'd be quiet, enjoy the sun, and the no state tax luxory in Orlando...
I suppose I'd be happy for Steve to see him land in Washington. AFTER I GET OVER HIM SAYING HE WON'T PLAY IN ORLANDO! again, for 75 million over 5 or 6 years, I'll go to Baghdad and play games twice a day 365 days a year on a team called the American Infidels. In every interview I'll discuss how my hobbies include raping Muslim women and drawing pictures of Allah performing sexual favors on George W. Bush. In fact, they don't even have to give me a uniform. They can tattoo the uniform on my body. American Infidels. Number 34. Williamson. I don't give a damn. 75 MILLION DOLLARS! I'd go to baghdad and he doesn't want to go to frickin' Disney World. I mean, yeah, I can understand not wanting to leave a team that just made it to the playoffs and is in a good place to build upon, but before I said I didn't want to play in Orlando, I'd have to sleep on it..... in my gigantic bed full of super models i just had group sex with and under my custom made bed sheets which are just thousands of hundred dollar bills stitched together. After I woke up, I'd go take a dump, let my official midget ass wiper do the dirty work there (he doesn't have to be a midget but for whatever reason that just appeals to me personally), go take a nice long bath while three beautiful naked women ala coming to america scrub me down and then I'd call my agent and say "Hey, you know, my life is pretty good. What do I care where I play?"
Unfortunantly there is no good nightlife in orlando lol. no strip clubs nothing. So he will be hopping planes to miami a lot.
lol it's in Jacksonville, Florida this year...so i guess they will make sure to keep an eye on him for that time =)
