Houston to Francis: We don’t want you no more
So now after getting my hopes up earlier this week about the Rockets-Magic trade involving T-Mac/Steve Francis, I hear that because Francis has been whining all over the press like a cry baby, Orlando is no longer as enthusiastic to complete the trade and is still considering the other options. Good thing is, T-Mac has made it clear he wants to come to Houston (and why wouldn’t he? The only thing in the league right now that’s better than a McGrady-Yao combo would be a McGrady-Shaq combo, and that is very unlikely…I know Mark Cuban is rich, but he ain’t buying those two at the same time!).
In my opinion, Steve Francis needs to grow up. You’re a basketball player. Trades happen. Life is unfair sometimes. Deal with it. You’ve prima donna’ed all over our basketball arenas for three years now, and we don’t see what you’ve got to show for it. You dribble the ball too much. Your scoring isn’t improving. We need a championship team, and between yourself and Mobley, you’re not going to get us there. We’ve got a good coach now, and we have a really really good player who wants to come. So just swallow that pride of yours and drag your behind on over to Orlando, because we don’t want you no more down here in Houston. Capisce?
Now if only John Weisbrod would make up his mind and quit keeping everyone in suspense, we’d all be a lot happier.
