Let's face it, that Francis trade, if it was LB's fault or whatever, it set us back a lot. We have to play him if there is ever any chance for us to trade him away.

We could have gotten Balkman and Williams in the Draft if we hadn't made that trade

Well, hopefully Isiah is just showcasing Francis for a trade by the deadline. We must get rid of this guy this month. It kills me that Balkman does not play. I do not care about Nate at all. But Balkman and Frye must get steady minutes.

Francis looked good early but come on isiah put him in a situation to fail. He just came back how is he supposed to really contribute late in the game

Yep. When Francis left the game in the fourth quarter, I was sure that was it for him. Then Isiah brings him back in and leaves him in for the remainder. What is Isiah thinking???

That said, I have nothing against Francis at all. But we do not need him and are better off playing the younger guys, namely Frye and Balkman.

Francis 20 minutes
Frye 15 minutes
Balkman 0 minutes

Francis has no future with this team but is taking minutes away from younger players who need the playing time. What a joke.

Those guys don't compete with each other for minutes. They play different positions. Unless you're arguing that you can play Frye and Balkman at PG. If so, I'd be a little scared.
