Wow. That solves their point guard problems.
Steve Francis to return to Rockets
Three-time All-Star picks former team over Heat, Mavs and Clippers

Francis chose the Rockets over the Heat, Mavericks and Clippers, his agent Jeff Fried said on Thursday.
"I just hung up with Daryl (Morey, the Rockets general manager)," Fried said. "He is dealing with facilitating the contract.
"It's a combination of a variety of factors including the fit with the team, a comfortableness with the organization and a familiarity with the surroundings. He has a home in Houston. In so many ways, it has remained his home, despite some interim stops, Orlando and New York.
"For Steve, it's coming home."

Hahahaha, now there off-season rating will slide down to a f
It's funny until you realize that he's 100,000 x's better than Rafer.
^^Yea he is, but bringing in James, Brooks and Francis all at once seems a little much, does that mean Rafer is gone?
The Clippers must be bummed.
you mean Mobley must be bummed
between Rafer, James, and Francis, this team has a load of chuckers. McGrady's head will explode before the season is finished.
He's got to be. They still owe him $10 million though. Maybe they'll have Steve back up Tracy at the 2. Damn. Four PGs?
one thing is certain - houston will lead the league in "total number of ill advised three pointers jacked up with 20 seconds left on the shot clock"
Easily. Golden State might make an argument.
Locker room poison.
While it may be possible that this could hurt team chemistry, it is also very possible that this could make Houston a sick ass team. Say what you want but Houston has really addressed their supporting cast issues right now on paper. They have more than enough scorers to help out Yao and Tmac. IF they play together and can stay healthy, this team will make ALOT of noise.
haha true, but Golden State will make theirs.
very very true none of those are pass first execpt somettimes rafer
So the rockets are for real this season,huh?
francis,james,T-mac,Scola & Yao=interesting lineup.
but Not Defensive at all though.
I dont know how there will be enough ball to share with 3 ball hogging points, T-Mac, Yao, Bonzi, and now Scola
i don't like this move at all... James and francis are practically the same player. francis better have agreed to not dribble the ball for an hour then chuck it up.
francis + james + bonzi + Tmac = bad chemistry
this is a step backwards
Walker+Payton+Shaq+Wade+Zo+J Will=bad chemistry. Oh wait they won a championship with a roster that many said would implode. While I am not saying 2007 Rox=2006 Heat I am saying this could turn out to make Houston deadly.
yes but adelman sure as has his hands full.
at least their clearing the mess out... john lucas 3 is going to the Hornets supposedly.
guess rafer/sura combo is next
Are you guys going to resign Hayes? I also wonder who Rafer/Sura will be dealt to
He's still a former All-Star (I think), so does Houston have the most talent in the league now? They might actually get out of the first round this time
yeah morey said he was offering a contract... dunno if it's a done deal yet.
I said it the last two Rockets pre-seasons, I said it earlier this year, and I'm saying it again now. The Rockets probably have the widest range of very possible outcomes of any team.
One one end Scola could be the player he's cracked up to be, Wells (in a contract year and back with Adelman) gets his together and plays like we know he can, they stay healthy, and Adelman ups the offensive tempo enough that everybody gets enough touches to keep them happy. I could see that happen.
Equally likely T-Mac gets hurt again, Francis goes toxic in the locker room, and Bonzi Wells singlehandedly raises Shipley's stock by 4 points.
This is a team that is going to be equally dangerous to their opponents and themselves.
That's all I needed to hear.
