Francis chose the Rockets over the Heat, Mavericks and Clippers, his agent Jeff Fried said on Thursday. "I just hung up with Daryl (Morey, the Rockets general manager)," Fried said. "He is dealing with facilitating the contract. "It's a combination of a variety of factors including the fit with the team, a comfortableness with the organization and a familiarity with the surroundings. He has a home in Houston. In so many ways, it has remained his home, despite some interim stops, Orlando and New York. "For Steve, it's coming home."
Holy Cow! That is shocking news! I expected the Clips for sure! I discounted the Heat because of Shaq's age but..wow. So Mobley wasn't wanting to rekindle things.
WOW, I didnt think it would happen, talent is a premium and we will be stacked!!! I dont know how it will work but its better than not having enough talent. God I hope we find a way to keep Luther. Its good to have some young talent in the pipeline but i dont know if it will happen
