    I say...., If Mobley decides to leave Houston, then we trade his string-bean ass to Milwaukee along with Bryce Drew and the Orlando MAGIC'S first-round pick for Sam Cassell. So this is how it turns out..Bucks get Mobley,Drew,Magic's pick , and Houston gets, Cassell, and some extras?????........What do yall think,,,I WOULD DO THIS TRADE ONLY IF MOBLEY DECIDES TO LEAVE HOUSTON!!!!!!!!!!

    Obviously, I am a huge ET fan, and you'd think that I would do anything to bring him to Houston. But the problem is, Steve wants to be a PG. Cassell is one of the better PGs in the league, getting 9 assists per game. Now, maybe all those who say "Francis should be moved to SG" or "Francis is the next Iverson" are right, and he is more scorer than passer. But the man wants to be a PG, he's our franchise player, and I say make him happy. If he wants to play PG, or center, give him what he wants.

    Bringing in a PG like Cassell might result in Stevie Franchise leaving the team in 3 years. You saw his reaction when Vancourver tried to pair him in a backcourt with Bibby.

    I'd probably do it, but the trade is completely unrealistic. Why would Milwaukee trade one of the top PG's in the game for a shooting guard in Mobley when they already have Ray Allen? Mobley couldn't play that much with Ray Allen there, so basically Milwaukee would be getting Drew for Cassell. And who knows when we'll get Orlando's pick? Orlando will be good, and Milwaukee knows it, so a pick in the mid 20's doesn't mean much. The Magic pick won't be good, and Mobley isn't of much use with Ray Allen. It's a good trade for the Rockets, but please try and make up something at least somewhat realistic. The Bucks would never in a million years even consider that deal, at least with Allen there.

    It's kind of hard to say, because I have always been a fan of Cassell. But I am not ready to disrupt chemistry of the team to get Cassell. I would not trade Cat because he is a big part of our chemistry with Francis. If you bring in Cassell, he might try to lead the team, and I don't know how that would affect Francis. IMHO Mobley has improved immensely since his rookie year. As they both continue to improve we could possibly be looking at the new version of Dumars and Thomas.
