First and foremost I am hurt, dissapointed and F*** T-Mac. Stevie has been an All Star, and proved in the playoffs almost averaging a triple double in every game that he is the player to build a team around of. But of course just like the Houston fans that we have they suck and want a F*****g Championship ever since Hakeem left. Francis is only one of few that average 19.5 points a game, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.2 assists a game. What the hell is wrong wit dat. Give us some freaking time man. All I have to say is Francis will always be my boy and no matter what anyone says Houston dissed him and Cuttino, and I hope they freaking tear our butts up when we play them, and I promise I will be going for the Magic 100% because Francis id gonna dunk all over Yao. Good luck Jeff and I hope he scores 50 on our asses just to prove you guys should of kept him here. P.S. Franchise come through and represent your talent. I Love you Franchise, you will always be my favorite playa. Alfred Polanco
Screw Houston, our Freakin' fans suck dude. Rock on Franchise and tear the Rockets ass up when you play them I cant wait to see that Houston, when Francis goes for 48, 10 and 11. Howz that. #3
it is kinda disapointing how most people turn their backs on players when they dont play well and are happy to trade them away. in this case, though, we are getting a great player in return and no matter how much it hurts to lose your favorite player, it must be done because the nba is a business and if you can improve your business then you would be stupid not to. as much as i personally love francis, i know that mcgrady will be better for this team even though i prefer francis as a person ( though i dont really know him). hopefully francis and cuttino will thrive in orlando and have a coach like rudy who lets them play their game.
Exactly, Johnny Davis being an Former assistant and head coach of the rox, will know how to handel Steve and mobes!
I know you dont want to trade Francis for T-mac. But how did Yao come into the picture here? Why do you want him to be dunked all over? Please elaborate.
I really think Steve is going to be better off. A team will build their offense around him and he can play the type of game that fits him (one without Yao Ming). When Francis and Mobley were running the show in Houston they didn't allways win but they were fun to watch. If Grant Hill can come back to a percentage of what he was the Magic have a chance to be a good team and Steve can play his game. The Rockets are doing the right thing -- they have a "franchise" in Yao Ming --- build a team around him.
Does anyone other than me find it very funny that there are SOFs? Seriously why do this group of people even exist? I kinda understand the YOFs because of the China/Asia patriotic thing. But why with Francis? Are they his family or personal friends? Are they from his home city or some other things? Can anyone explain to me?
No. It's just that your understanding of the XOF thing need to be fixed. Your take was wrong, apperantly.
I disagree ! The Magic are going to build arround Howard and Steve will quickly find that he is not the STAR of the Magic!
holdthechise, what you've just posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you 1 star, and may Clutch have mercy on your soul.
i dont get some people's attatchment to steve. his biggest achievement in 5 years was getting rudy t fired.
