how about Francis....

It is likely he will be moved for a PF and Portland has one begging for a
home. Rockets are rumored to look for Brand straight across... lots of
luck, I doubt Clips are going for that. SAR might be the best available PF
on the block.

I would prefer Allen but perhaps this is more likely although he has a big
and long contract which Portland may avoid.... then again he would help put
butts in seats...

In Portland he could be moved to his natural position even though it would
make for a very small backcourt. And when he was at point it would keep Sam
amused as he dribbles down the clock too...and I can still whine about a SG
that can't shoot....
But he is a step up from DA as a creative scorer even though his FGP is not
much better.

It is said they will break up the team to rebuild around Yao. If the
rockets keep Francis I wonder if they might go for DA and picks for Cattino
and fodder, perhaps piatkowski.

I would do it but they would have to throw a big contract in along
with him probably.
