Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen....

Do you remember when Bill Worrell coined the term Stevie "Franchise" for the electric rookie out of Maryland? Well now two teams later Steve Francis is a shell of his former image and will be counted on to turn around the worst run franchise in the NBA, The New York Knicks. For those T-Mac bashers out there, the net math in the Francis/McGrady swap is as follows. The Rockets received McGrady, Juwon Howard, and Rafer Alston for Darko Milicic, Carlos Arroyo, Trevor Arriza, and the expiring contract of Penny Hardaway. Adavantage Houston.....MJ.
---Wex here and I just have to lay this out for ya'll.
Just look at Orlando's haul overall.
These are there 4 related trades once they decided T-Mac had to go.
Hou(T-Mac,Juwan Howard, Ty Lue, Reece Gaines) for Orl(Francis, Mobley, Cato)
Sac(Mobley, Michael Bradley) - Orl(Doug Christie)
Det(Cato, 1st Rd) - Orl(Darko Milicic,Carlos Arroyo)
NYK(Francis)-Orl(Penny Hardaway,Trevor Ariza)
So for T-Mac,Howard,Lue,Gaines,Francis,Mobley,Cato,Bradley & 1st rd pick the Magic have just those 4 remaining scrubs and cap space. This makes Isiah look like a rhodes scholar
