Any intrest in bringing Steve Francis back home? 

Post#1 » by wadero » Tue Jun 17, 2008 6:18 pm

Just wondering if you guys would be interested in bringing Steve Francis home to Washington? From what I understand he grew up in DC. If so what would you offer?

I'd offer him a Chipotle burrito to stay away from here.

Give me one of those Keith Van Horn contracts and I think as a young bachelor I can bite the bullet and make the move to Houston in honor of my brethren on this board. Seeing as Steve and I have spent relatively the same amount of time on an NBA court in the past couple years and it's a fair trade by my assessment. In fact, MJ and the Charlotte Bobcats have been calling me repeatedly recently because word got out I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

i've read somewhere that francis is choosing to stay on with the rockets this year instead of testing the free agent market. However, i wouldn't be opposed to trading draft picks and/or filler (AD/DMac) to the rockets for francis if the opportunity arose. Either 2nd rounder+AD or #18 and DMAC for Francis. Better yet, 2nd rounder, AD, and Blatche for Francis and Carl Landry

No interest whatsoever...

We'll give you Etan Thomas to keep him.

I'd say our interest is roughly on par with Francis’ interest with playing in Vancouver circa 1999.

Oh, and Jackie Moon ain't no Rookie. That's some Bull Malarkey!
