    For what it's worth ESPN News just said:

    "Francis has no say in the deal, look for the deal to be done unless the teams don't come to an agreement on the other players involved in the deal"

    WHAT!? And you have respect for T-Mac who is doing the EXACT SAME THING!!!

    T-Mac has a list of 4 teams he'll play for and maybe Francis does too. I think its stupid and these players should play for the teams they are with, but I just can't believe the hypocrisy that some people have.

    T-Mac's stance is even worse in my opinion. He had a contract and he said he wants a trade. SF is getting traded beyond his will. I think he has more of a right to try and influence where he goes than T-Mac does in trying to force a trade to the team he wants to go to.

    I accept this attitude in players today because that is the way it is, but I think its just stupid that some of you are going to HATE Francis forever but think T-Mac is an angel.

    But wait! Jerome Williams says he doesn't want to play in Orlando, so a 4th team is involved! :)

    I wish Jim Gray and Peter Vecsey would just shut the hell up until they have something concrete.

    I just heard on ESPN news that the deal will get done after the expansion draft. They also said that Francis has no say if he wants to play there or not.

    I don't hate Francis. I said if a deal fell through because he refused to play for the team i would lose some respect for the guy. Obviously it doesn't matter now because its a DONE DEAL

    Yes, ESPN said they have to wait for the Exp draft to make sure certain player(s), that are part of this deal, don't get picked.

    610 reports that Steve blocks trade

    Vessy reports from a source close to Steve that he will NOT play in Orlando. Orlando is said to be looking for a third team to ship Steve to.

    What an ingrate.

    So a 3 for 1 deal. Why didn't we get a PF w/ the deal? :confused:

    If they had included Gooden or Howard, it would of been good. But I think we gave up too much.
