Memphis Just Acquired An AllStar!

Ok , maybe just a former allstar :D

We traded Francis+cash considerations and also gave you back your 2009 2nd round pick for a 2011 conditional 2nd round pick.

This will be the 2nd former All Star the Grizz have released in a week (Shimmy being the first).

I think it was a good trade for both teams.

The Grizz doesn't have anything to lose. The cash included in the deal will be buy out payment for Francis while acquiring a pick.

For the Rockets, its about getting below the lux tax. Thats how teams are conscious about the tax. No doubt its always an issue to many trades.
