Reports say that Steve Francis has agreed to a two-year, 6-million dollar contract with the Houston Rockets.
Finally, the Franchise is back in town, baby!
John Hollinger already rated the Rockets as having the best off-season so far, and now it just got better with this acquisition.
Starting Line-up:
PG: Mike James
SG: T-Mac
SF: Shane Battier
PF: Luis Scola
C: Yao Ming
Second Unit:
PG: Aaron Brooks/Steve Francis
SG: Luther Head
SF: Bonzi Wells
PF: Chuck Hayes
C: Jackie Butler/Dikembe Mutumbo
This assumes that Rafer Alston is going to be traded, which seems inevitable at this point. If he stays, I could see Mike James and Franchise spending some time at the 2 (though I don't see them on the court at the same time very much, due to lack of shots).
In any case, that's a pretty formidable set. I could see these Rocks contending for the title next year easily.
[edit] I don't mean that they'll contend easily, I mean that I could see them doing it easily. I'm not really sure how that all goes on the spectrum

i wouldn't be so happy as an avid knicks fan i can tell you that steve "franchise Killer" francis will lead your team to more headaches than wins
I'm going to choose to believe that we're going to see the happy-go-lucky version of Steve Francis that Clutch City came to love. Now that he's reunited with Lil' Bro Yao, hoepfully he'll have a better attitude than what he displayed after he was sad for being shipped out for the Mac Attack.
