    Yup, remeber everyone was freaked that he was going to nix the trade. It wasn't until Orlando's GM and Steve's agent worked it out. Therefore he agreed to report to Orlando.

    SF3 is out to prove the nay sayers wrong. I can't wait to see the team become a dominate team come playoff time. I am glad to hear the T-Mac and Yao were all for getting SF3 back home.

    Exactly. He never wanted to leave despite clashing with JVG. Unlike a lot of other players Francis takes responsibilities for his mistakes and ill-adviced decisions. He is a good guy and heart and I'm pumped to have him back in Houston!

    Splendid, I've been bragging about this signing to my non-Rocket fan friends ever since it happened.

    They're all hatin, believe Francis is washed up.

    I hope he will go big.

    Stevie don't overwork yourself getting ready ... I think a happy SF back in Houston is going to be a very productive player. :cool:

    Honestly, it hasn't even hit me yet that we're gonna be seeing STEVIE in a Rockets uniform again. You HAVE to love someone who loves the city and the team so much. Excitement doesn't even begin to describe what I'll be feeling on October 31.

    I can't wait! Steve should have a good ovation when he plays his first game back in the Toyota Center.

    "Welcome back, #3, Steeeeeveee Fraaaaanciiiissss!"

    Some like to dog Francis but I can't think of another quality player who wanted to play in Houston more than Stevie....

    Do you guys think that Stevie Franchise still has the hops, explosiveness, and speed he showed back in his original stint in Houston. Steve was dunking on guys, skying for rebounds and basically jumping out of the gym over guys way taller than him even though he was 6'3"..... If we get that Stevie....it will be amazing. I haven't seen enough Knick games to know if he has the same athleticism and speed.

    I have to admit, Steve Francis as a player for the Rockets REALLY, REALLY got on my nerves. But as a person I do like him. You can't question his heart or his love for the city. Now, here's hoping an offense genius like Adelman can truly utilize Stevie in a way to fit his strengths, while minimizing his weaknesses. Because while we all know Francis is great in some areas, he's sorely lacking in others.
