[OFFICIAL] Steve Francis returning to Rockets

Did he have microfracture or ACL surgery we didn't know about?

 

There is no sure thing at PG. James and Steve offensively are better at sg, but liabilities at sg defense. Alston and Brooks are your true point guards, but Brooks is a rookie and Alston is a liability on defense. I don't think they will move any of them unless they get an absolute steal from someone. I think head, snyder, sura, and JL3 are the most likely to be moved. James and Francis will play some PG and some SG. I hope Brook supplants Alston, but that will take some massive eggs on the part of Adelman.

Question for some of you cba experts. Isn't there a rule against trading guys you just got in a trade (James) until January?

 

LOL...come on pgabriel. francis on a fast break? now that's comedy.

 

What year is this? I believe I may have encountered some kind of wierd flux or ripple in the fabric of space.

Thanks in advance,
Brock

 

It's great that we are getting Francis back, but for what cost?

 

and it doesnt always help. you take it easy - im not happy about this.

 

Yep, I believed we were top five last season, now we are top 3!

 

Welcome home Stevie, we're sorry JVG ran you out of town.

 

first and foremost, we are NOT getting rid of mike james. hes our best 3 pt shooting guard that can also create his own shot. secondly im not a francis fan and i dont think he'll play well with t-mac. if t-mac could get mad at mike james for over dribbling, he'd probably kill steve francis on the court. i also have the strongest feeling that mike james will not like Francis if he doesnt so already. i really want Aaron Brooks to get some minutes also because hes our best fit for PG.

 

unf***ing believable!!! Never underestimate the heart of a champion!!

Well, nice knowing you SKIP! I'm sure you'd be a great asset for Indiana

 

my favorite player just returned - this just made my day!

 

doesn't have to, just drive it in and get fouled.

 

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Will Stevie be wearing #3?

 

Tell that to the teams Francis dropped 20+ points on last year, including several after the "injury".

So's McGrady's back, but that didn't stop JVG from playing him 40+ mins/night.

I think with McGrady and Francis, we have a disgustingly good back court.

 

lol, Francis can finish but he can't run the break

 

I say we either get a Collison after this or just stand pat and trade our guys for future first round draft picks. I really like the second strategy cause it lets us get a young big man to replace Deke next year.

 

Three allstar starters in West if SF3 is going to the PG in the team. Just great.

 

So, the report says 2 years, $6 million. Huh.

1) How is this signing possible when we only have $2.4 million of the MLE left?
2) Will Francis push us over the luxury tax now, and if so, do we have until the end of the season to get underneath it?

 

Wonder if we have enough trade assets to get Nene
