Steve Francis Going Back To Houston

July 19, 2007

Steve Francis is returning to the place where he had his best days as an NBA player in Houston. He signed a 2 year $6 million contract with the team. A lot of people are saying he is a cancer and he is washed up. In response to people saying he is a cancer, I say you can’t always believe what you hear, unless you are in the locker room then you should focus on what he does on the court.

To people that says he is washed up, he has had a bad year and a half but he is only 30 years old and he can easily get back on track with the right team and if he stays healthy. This guy had several 20 point games last year and is still a solid player.

With him the Rockets need to move some of their guards and get some frontcourt help. They already have Mike James, Rafer Alston, Luther Head, John Lucas, Aaron Brooks, and now they add Francis. Until they make some moves in the backcourt you would have to assume that the starting lineup would have Francis taken Rafer’s starting spot or the team may play Rafer at the 1, Francis at the 2, and slide TMac to the 3.

Their is no doubt the Rockets just got a lot better but they still need help upfront.
