And you keep on living in lala land where steve francis is still a allstar and a great unselfish teammate.
Unable to answer this question as I think by Game One the bench could be quite different. Morey possibly has a couple of moves still to make
Do people even remember how awful Francis looked last year? Sure, he had a couple nice moments with the Pheonix game but he looked terrible overall. Anybody watch that Philadelphia game when we were down by like 40pts? Anyone remember the next game against Toronto when we got blown out? Francis started both of those games with an Alston injury and our team played terrible. Francis just doesn't fit in Adelman's system and doesn't know how to play how our team plays now. I'd be shocked if Francis was part of the regular rotation next season.
Francis's career numbers 18.1 PPG 6.0 APG 5.6 RPG Yeah... the guy just needs to be healthy and he will be productive.
I tend to agree with this. If nothing, we've all seen that Morey is very active with regard to player movement/acquisitions. Given that many on this board have questions/ideas about Luther Head's trade value in conjunction with Chuck Hayes or <insert player here>, I'd have to think that Morey's thinking the same to some degree and may have another move in play, especially with questions about Landry and Deke still out there.
Correct me if I am wrong..but wasn't it right after those few horrible games of him starting that they acknowledged that he was injured and would need season ending surgery?
