    Do you guys want Steve Francis to do good in New York or do you want to see him struggle? I know a lot of Magic fans like Francis but he did leave on some shaky terms. How do you want the rest of Francis' career to go?

    I don't mind if he does good as long as the Knicks do bad again.. Hopefully the Bulls can have to #1 overall pick next season!

    BTW, who's on your avatar - Sorry if I should know or something lol.

    It's Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. It's the funniest show ever and it comes on after The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Watch it sometime. [​IMG]

    Chappelle, Colbert, and Daily Show are all great shows. I like Dog Bites Man too. Other than that, the shows are kinda blah.

    But anyways, do you want Francis to suffer in New York?

    Don’t let Swish lie to you that is his picture from his family portrait. Anyway, I want to see Francis do well he has always been one of my favorite players.

    Either way you look at it, he will suffer in New York unless Stephon Marbury gets traded, or if he gets traded to another team. There is only one basketball on the court, and if you have guys like Steph, Curry, Q-Rich, and Jalen, you obviously won't be getting the ball much. Also, if you put into perspective that Francis needs the ball in his hands to be effective, I dont see how it will be possible for him to thrive in his current situation in New York.

    I think I'm probably one of the few that liked Stevie. I can't say I was sad to let him go though. He's a good player, just not for this team. I hope him the best in his career. I agree with what Brian said though, he will not do good in New York.

    I don't want him to suffer. I'd be happy to see him get back to how he was during his Rockets years. He was my favorite player when he was in Orlando but, like MagicFan4Life said, he wasn't right for our team, and I wanted Jameer to get playing time. He's gotta get out of New York though.

    Francis has always been one of my favorite point guards. I want him out of new york to somewhere else. Like Boston.

    I personally don't think he'll be in New York by the time the season starts. They don't really need him and he probably doesn't want to be there anyways. Regardless, if he stays there, I don't know how well he can do. He might start at the shooting guard, but still, if he's playing along Francis, I don't know if he can succeed. There's only one ball in this game...and both Francis and Marbury need the ball to be successful.

    Steve is the kind of player that can't run a proper offence and needs to run wild in order to thrive and inflate his stats. If Francis can't do whatever he wants on the court, then he has almost no impact on a team and personally I'm not too fond of players like these.
