Just heard on the radio that Steve Francis was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies for a 2009 2nd Rounder and cash considerations.

Steve Francis will wind up with the Grizzlies, after all. Not the Vancouver Grizzlies -- the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Houston Rockets announced Wednesday they've dealt the injured former superstar to Memphis along with a 2009 second-round pick and cash. The Rockets get a conditional 2011 second-round pick.
The second-round pick going to Memphis was originally acquired from the Grizzlies in a 2008 draft night deal. Francis has not played for the Rockets this season after having surgery on a torn quadriceps tendon back in February. You may recall how Francis balked at playing for the Vancouver Grizzlies after he was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in 1999. His rights were traded to Houston in a three-team, 11-player deal.
More later as details become available.
Adelman, you bas he would have been a better choice to play last night instead of that zombie Mcgrady.
I'm more interested in the draft pick.
Why? Gay Mayo wasn't enough perimeter scoring? And at least those guys don't suck.
Holly Crap!!!
Championship!
Too bad the Grizzlies had to trade Kevin Love.
They could have had a threesome of Gay Love with Mayo.
Merry Christmas.
Perimeter scoring?
I thought Gay Mayo was about taking it to the hole?
I read an article that once Gay added Mayo to the mix, that there was no stopping the penetration.
"Cat, make the plane reservations to our private island. I'll work out this buyout within the week. Love you."
"K, Frankie, we really need to get bikini waxes when we get to the island. Love you too."
same thing will happen to tmac if he keeps playing like a superstar followed by playing like a pussy etc etc.
Good move for the Rockets. Brooks made Francis expendable, and we need a big to back up Yao anyway. Now they have the cap space to sign Deke. Get it done Morey!!!
Steve Francis is alive? WTF!!!
sometimes I forget he's even still in the league
how the mighty have fallen...
God Hates Canadians
Francis, out of the University of Maryland, was the second overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft by the Vancouver Grizzlies. He publicly announced that he did not want to play for the Grizzlies, citing the distance from his Maryland home, taxes, endorsements, and God's will.
LOL, I thought Francis was the greatest thing since sliced bread, according to some Rox fans around here... I actually think the Rockets did themselves a favor with this trade.
aww crap! Two days of travelling to get to Indy and first thing I see when I turn on my computer is this. Dammit, I would at least have liked to have seen what Franchise still had. I don't think Stevie fit in with Adleman though. He's more of a penetration type guard that fits with more of a pick and roll type offense.
they did this to move a roster spot and salary
rockets still have around 3m of the MLE to spend on mutombo, which will be pro-rata.......
ummmm we can only offer him what? the minimum?
