Francis & Knicks Negotiating Buyout?

However, that argument is invalid. You want ultimate weirdness, see how this grabs you: A source claims the Knicks and Steve Francis - exiled to Houston supposedly to rehab a tender knee - are discussing a contract buyout; what remains of this season's $15 million salary and the next two, $16.44M and $17.8M.

What do you think the chances are that this "source" is legit and that a buyout will actually occur? If it does go down, what Championship-calibur team will this kid be the "gunner" for down the stretch?

A seamless segue to the perfectly peculiar part of this latest development: According to the same source, stage two of Francis' buyout conversation, coordinated by agent Jeff Fried, is dialogue with Brown about his client joining the 76ers after he clears waivers.

brown wanted him in NY, so i can see Philly picking him up off waivers if this happens.
