Dont H-town still Have Mike James too??I think Steve Francis lost out on Miami & LAC, more so. He's now in a crowded backcourt with Alston/Head, and they like Brooks, too. Rafer Alston is now officially on the market, and/or maybe Luther Head. In LAC, he'd of backed up the one, and in Miami, he'd of had the opportunity to start or backup the one and two. Probably 25-30 MPG when healthy in either situation.
I think we wind up with JCN, though. Hopefully Daniels and not Thomas/Haywood.
Latest is that Miami is exclusively offering draft choices for JCN's rights alone, and would sign him with half the mid-level. That is picture perfect, but unlikely that Washington accepts, IMO. I'd love to add JCN for nothing, Barnes for the other half of the mid-level or sign-and-trade for Pietrus.
I'd personally see what's up with Jarret Jack first, though. I'd also entertain a small deal for Rafer Alston, as he can hit the three and defend. You already know what he's capable of.
I should have some "inside info" on what's going on by tomorrow, hopefully..
Have my sources been wrong about anything yet? Nope. :kick:

They were discussing this on ESPN radio just now:
-Knicks shot 39 free throws vs the Heat's 8 free throws
-Spread was 4.5pts knicks won by 6
-Shaq was in foul trouble and finished with 5 personal fouls
-The Heat were whistled for three technical fouls for defensive 3-second violations
-Head coach Pat Riley and assistant Ron Rothstein were also hit with technicals
Officials: Derrick Stafford, Gary Zielinski, Tim Donaghy
Thank god. Never wanted him here. He's a shell of his former self.
I think you underrate Francis, but that's not why I'm responding. I'm responding because I'm disappointed that you didn't choose "It ain't easy bein' white...it ain't easy bein' brown..." for your avatar caption.

Well, I actually did something better than that. I had a shirt made up with the Franklin Comes Alive cover on it.
Okay, back on topic...so Pietrus is close to being a Heat member? Well that'll definitely help our defense (which the Bulls clearly proved needed an injection of youth and speed). I'm going to be worried when the ball is in his hands though. :unsure:
