    The addition of Francis likely will trigger more changes. The Rockets currently have five point guards. Morey has said he is seeking to move John Lucas III.

    Several teams, the New Orleans Hornets in particular, have indicated interest, but Morey said nothing is imminent. With Francis on the roster, he also could seek to deal Rafer Alston.

    "It's a logjam," Alston said. "I've been a starter there for two years. We've picked up three point guards (Francis, Mike James and rookie Aaron Brooks) this summer. Obviously, they're trying to address that need and go in another direction.

    "You can never get mad because a team decides to improve. It will be tough for myself and John and all of us that are point guards to see much playing time. I want the best thing for both. If me being starter and closer is the best thing and what Rick (Adelman) and Daryl Morey want, great. If that's not what they want, if they see something better, I hope they would do something that is also good for me."</div>
