Well managment does = JVG, & Steve n Jeff just dont mix, so i think Steve will be on a 1 way trip 2 Washington (his home town)
...call this the second greatest team ever assembled, pick up Rod Strickland and Bo Outlaw to solidify the point guard and power forward spots, then hire Don Cheny as head coach to guide the Rockets into a new direction...
Stevie may be gone this summer, and we may all learn to regret it. However, I do NOT see DC as a destination with Arenas in place. Nobody? Oh, a head or three will be gone ere November. A better question might be -- who, if anyone, will be gone by a week from Thursday? My poll vote there is Cat. Not my wish, my guess.
There WILL be a trade. That's not even a question. Besides, I wanted to get an answer from everyone and not give people the easy way out and ignore the obvious.
Unless Francis goes on a ridiculous rampage in the second half scoring 25ppg 8apg and 6rpg OR other teams are offering absolutely nothing for him, I'm predicting Francis will be in another uniform next season. I think for the most part, everyone on that list, with the exception of Francis, likes playing for Van Gundy and vice versa. Cuttino has made a nice transition Yao is the franchise center Cato is the most improved player on the team Taylor is one of the top 6th men in the league JJ has had a terrific season Boki is getting more PT than he ever did last season That leaves Steve who has not made a smooth transition and everything that could possibly go wrong for him this season has gone wrong.
After watching last nights' game ending histronics and hearing the related "I'd take that shot again" comment, Francis is history sometime after his BYC removal August 26th.
I have been a long time supporter of Steve. I must say that since the Super Bowl I have been highly disappointed in Steve. I would honestly hate to see his talent go, but unless his attitude toward the coach and his team changes he is more of a "cancer" than a help to us. Honestly, Iam having a hard time getting excited about trading away Steve Francis, I cant of anyone I would rather have. It would be nice if CD was able to get us a PG and we could move Steve to the "off-guard" (EVERYONe has suggested this). If I may make a quick trade suggestion. (not sure it will work though) I would love to Brand or Jason Kidd Maybe on a light note we could get John Stockton to come from retirment!
So, CD is no longer ignorant if he makes a trade -- even a bad one? Get over it, CD is not out there on an island. CD is not asleep at the wheel. CD is not ignorant.
I can't beleive 6 people think Yao is going to be traded before next season. He is going absolutely nowhere.
How could anyone vote for Cattino Mobley, his been the man this season. Along with Jimmy Jackson. Mobley has improve oh so much since last season. No more stupid force shots, just good open jumpers, the way it's suppose to be.
IMHO, based upon some posts over the last several months about how the Rockets misuse Yao, it's a handleful of YOF's that are voting more about what they want to happen as opposed to what will happen
This has been beaten into the ground recently but I would just really like to see the rox get a true point guard and slide steve over to the two. I want to see this experiment fail before giving up on francis.
He is shooting a higher percentage of his shots from three point range than earlier in his career. In the Rockets current game plan, he is mostly just spotting up.
I can see it now steve is traded,comes back to Houston with his new team and puts up a triple double and points at jvg after every dunk. but what I'll miss most of all are the stupid turnovers.
