I thought Steve Francis did a good job carrying a team that lost two of the cornerstones of the team (Hakeem and Charles). When you look at some of the players (Francis, Anderson, Williams, Thomas, Cato), they were new to the Rockets. Francis and Thomas, new to the NBA. Everyone was put in an awkward situation, and they still finished better than the Grizz. I personally don't hate the Grizzlies. I hated to see Dickerson and Harrington go (although I do think it was worth it to get Francis). I really like SAR, and I hope he gets his recognition in the near future. I sure wanted Swift, and I think he'll be a good player. I think Bibby is a really good player as well. In fact, I don't know why the Grizz picked Francis, unless they were willing to trade Bibby to fill another position. Francis is not a two. I personally think the trade was good for both teams. I love Dickerson, but with Anderson and Mobley, we can live without him. With Bibby, the Grizzlies can live without Francis. ------------------
