Los Lonely Boys the Return....
The Knicks were happy to get Zach Randolph. The Trail Blazers were happy to clear space for Greg Oden. Steve Francis might be the happiest of all.

Why would they want him again? All he did was get older

You know, for a guy who scored 11 ppg last year and had a PER above 15, Francis sure is taking a lot of abuse. He even had a decent assist rate last year.
At this point, with Francis, you know what you're getting: he dribbles too much, doesn't play much defense and looks for his own shot before his teammates. Fine. But, for those who are bashing this signing, did any of you guys see the Houston-Utah series? McGrady and Yao were the only guys who could put the ball in the hoop (and even Yao was having problems). This team desperately needed another scorer, especially on the second unit.
Francis will probably be the third guard, and will come off the bench, where his defensive shortcomings won't be so apparent. And for 2 years at $3 million per season, this is a gamble worth taking. I like this pickup for Houston.
