I was watching ESPNews and shows video tape during a game where Steve apparently kicked a photographer. He was suspended and although he denies the incident, it looks like a kick to me. I like Steve as a person but he does sometimes have an attitude problem. Just justifies the trade more and more...
Fed up with losing in Orlando, fed up with a stupid hockey-headed GM, and fed up over all the negativity he has been faced with lately by the media. It's nothing surprising that something like this would happen, considering the fact that Stevie always had a knack for losing his temper. However, it's still very sad that something like this had to happen to him after all his contributions to our team. The trade broke his heart and also affected him in a lot of other ways, coupled with the trade of Cuttino Mobley.
Not to mention rumors are forming about Orlando perhaps trading Steve at the end of the season. I really like Steve as a person like i said, and i feel sorry for him and his predicament.
when i saw it it was too tough to tell because of the camerea angle but it looked as if he fell and he tried to get back on his feet but accidentally clipped the photographer
Oh the photographer will get over it........Rodman kicked a dude in the crotch.........dude should just man up....LOL
Too bad for franchise. I'd be pissed with a stupid team like that. The GM is a real idiot. I still dont get how you would think of trading cat for christie. Hope they trade him again. The rockets could use him.
If you're talking about Francis, I couldn't see him thriving in the system we're playing now. Cat, on the other hand, could thrive because he is a shooter, and shooters thrive under an inside out system.

Ball Hogging (when we played Sacramento, he took way too many shots..), and I remember when he used to try splitting two defenders by dribbling through them, that never worked for him. I think Wesley fits better in this system, playing with a big man. And with the money Cuttino is looking for, I don't see the Rockets interested. But, if he learned to play with McGrady AND Yao, then, I'm all for it. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">when i saw it it was too tough to tell because of the camerea angle but it looked as if he fell and he tried to get back on his feet but accidentally clipped the photographer</div> When I saw it, I knew it was a deliberate kick. Steve was just venting his frustration. I don't see why you would trade Mobley for Christie. Christie is older, more liable injury-wise, a longer contract, not as good offensively, not as great as he used to be defensively, and he makes purses in the offseason. If they were afraid, that Cuttino would leave next year, that doesn't mean you have to trade him now. Make it to the Playoffs this year, convince him to stay. Or, keep him in the Off-Season, do a sign-and-trade with anyone. They should've gotten a big-man, not a SG. Firing Coach Davis was another idiotic move. They're still in the Playoff Hunt, and with 20 games to go, who the hell fires a coach? Moving Francis to the Shooting Guard position doesn't float well with me either. People used to say he was a Shooting Guard in a Point Guard's body. Not true. Steve can't shoot straight up. He creates his own shots, as well as shots for his team-mates. Even though Jameer Nelson has been doing well as of late, they could've put in a Guard Rotation, instead of just flat out benching him.
The magic were actually doing well early in the season..what happened? For sure Steve wouldn't fit in ours system now. We need a PG that can shoot the ball. I actually think the magic have all the pieces they need but I don't know why they're losing. They should have traded Hedo instead of Mobley IMO
