    wow...I'm surprised your user-ID wasn't taken already. congrats.

    Well, to answer both your question and my surprise, I guess there are a lot of derivative possibilities that all end up spelling the same thing...and PippenFranchise isn't one of them. BirdFranchise's Rose has no thorns.

    Indiana had already traded Davis - we had not even gotten Francis when they did that...



    Indiana wanted to get younger - thusthe Bender deal - they would not have traded for Pippen.

    Welcome to the page. I guess Clutch's new feature that shows how many times you have posted is a benefit for you, in this case.

    Don't mean to be rude, but you should stop posting about Pippen and other possible trades with his person.

    I posted a similar thread (but about a legitimate rumor regarding Milwaukee) and I got flamed.

    rimbaud,

    Pippen actually left after we got Francis.

    I was actually talking about the Indiana Antonio Davis trade coming before we got Francis, but I see how that was not clear in my post...

    Based on this year, it seems the Rocks should have traded Pipystitskins for Shaq or Carter.

    But it would have been even harder to figure out a way to get the Wiz ...
