    Since it was deadline day, I got to thinking about examples of players who did multiple successful stints at the same team, and those who went back but whose homecomings totally sucked.

    Por ejemplo:

    Second time's a charm:

    Steve Nash, Phoenix

    You can't go home again

    Steve Francis, Houston

    Any others that stand out?

    Turkeyglue is proving to be a much more useful player for Orlando.

    Chauncey Billups back to Denver was a success.

    Sean Elliott, though he hadn't left the Spurs for very long. Avery Johnson. Antoine Walker helped the C's make the playoffs a few years ago when they brought him back.

    As long as we're talking about former Rockets, Kevin Willis.

    If I were Morey , I might be on the phone with Kevin Willis to suit up next season ..... I bet he could still get ya about 10 boards and a block or two - Maybe teach Thabeet a thing or three ....



    A bottle of Edradour for a Center ? Any takers ?!

    John Lucas, was he a success or a failure the second time around in Houston?

    Elvin Hayes, successful. The teams he was on were bad and led to the drafting of Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon.
