The Debriefing: Best Draft Comparison for Yi Jianlian: Steve Francis? - Sports Blog - The FanHouse

Seems like we almost had him back near the turn of the century....when he was decent. His career has spiraled downwards since. He may be just another Flip jr....with baggage.

I know this sounds crazy, and not serious, but I am feeling goofy and crazy right now.

Let's sign him. I would love to see a 3 guard, 2 PF lineup.

Run baby run, like the Suns and the Warriors.

Nov 13 LW Milan Lucic had an active night. He scored his first goal in eight games since his Oct. 25 hat trick and also pounded Michael Komisarek in a third-period fight. Lucic cut his hand in a fight with Michael Komisarek. "I'll be fine," he said. "(X-rays are) negative, but there's so many broken bones in there from before you can't really tell."

Sadly, I'm not sure if he's a huge upgrade over Hot Rod. Losing Francis is addition by subraction.

I know both the Clippers, Mavs and even the Rockets are interested in Francis, so we can only discuss and move on to the next sure thing....

The Franchise has been overrated and overpaid his entire career. Now he has a chance to sign for the minimum and be underrated and underpaid. He's six months younger than Chauncey, so he might still have time.

Steve Francis off the bench would be good. He was very good in Houston, and like all the guards in New York he underperformed. I think he will be too tough to get here though.

At this point, I'd give him a shot for the league minimum.

The guy is looking for $$$. We won't get him.
