with isiah trying to make the francis/marbury pairing work before the mysterious "knee tendinitis", would we even have 17 wins?
would steph returned as starbury?
would jamal get as many minutes as he's been getting?
would eddy be getting as many touches?
it's very convenient that after failed experiment after failed experiment that francis comes down with a knee problem and goes home to houston instead of staying around and rehabbing. not even travelling with the team or sitting on the bench for home games.
I saw your thread on the other board. An excellent point brought up by Cosmic about trading Crawford/Mo for Fancis leaving the possiblity of retaining Ariza/Butler. Let's go a step further and ask where would the team be if Jalen and Mo weren't bought out when Jeffries and Q went down with injuries? Zeke has definitely benefited from a roster cleanup/suspensions of role players, something previous coaches didn't quite have.
