    Now Vescey is saying that Steve wants to go to Chicago and Orlando doesn't want to keep him. The rumored deal to be lined up would be the original Rockets/Magic deal, then Orlando turning around and sending Steve to Chicago for Tyson Chandler, Jerome Williams and Kirk Hinrich.

    If Francis screws this up and no deal happens, imagine the disaster...

    You're obviously not a Rocket fan. Francis blocking this deal, is the worst thing that can happen to this organization.

    Does Francis have any leverage to say where he wants to go?

    This doesn't make any sense.

    There you go Steve fight for yourself don't just let them send you somewhere you don't like. That's what I love about Steve. He's a fighter. Wish it would rub off on Yao.

    I don't see any. He could sit out and not get paid.

    He has plenty of leverage to ruin the trade, why does Orlando make the deal if Francis isn't going to play for them?

    Why doesn't Houston just trade Francis for Hinrich (and whoever else to make the salaries match)? I would do that trade in a second.

    Think about it from the Magic's perspective:

    Dear, Orlando Magic fans, in lieu of T-Mac we got you Francis, sure he hates you, hates our organization, and will whine all the damn time, but we can't send him to Toronto...EVERYBODY WELCOME THE FRANCHISE!!!

    Signed,

    Magic Management

    Update from ESPN News:

    The trade is not contigent because of the expansion draft.

    Also, they are mentioning that Francis might want to play w/ Rudy T. and the f***ing LAKERS!!!

    let him go to the Lakers...with this kind of prima donna attitude, he'll surely fit in.
