Could we pull the Franchise from Houston?

[DJ_Money]

Rudy T is out as coach in Houston. Before the season was over, Francis stated that if Rudy wasn't brought back, he wanted to be traded.

I think Rudy had some "encouragement" during his decision to step down. Francis will go straight to the media if he's not happy, we've seen it before.

It's tough to put a trade together right now, since Francis' extension doesn't kick in until next year.

My thinking is something like this...

Start by offering Big Dog, although I'm sure Houston would prefer SAR, which I can deal with. Throw in a guy like Nazr. And the #21.

Houston sends us Francis, and if we're lucky, Glen Rice. More likely, one of their horrible deals, like Taylor or Cato.

Just a thought...I don't know how to pull it off, though. If someone can come up with a plan, let me know.

I wish that could happen. JT and Francis would be fun.

If Reef and JT (even better if they want Dog) brought us Francis/crap(Kato, Rice) I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Hawks would finaly have a guy who can take a game over.

Pairing Reef and Francis is what makes it attractive.

Very true. Reef Francis teamates.

Too bad you have to give quality to get quality but nothing is impossible.
