Possible NBA Trade - Tracey McGrady to The Huston Rockets for Steve Francis +
Many of the past few days rumors are surfacing all over the place. ESPN.com reported that the trade is pretty close. There are a few other teams that might have a shot, but Huston can afford to give up quite a bit of talent in return.
I think this makes the Magic a much better team with Steve Francis and some good talented role players who already know each other. Take that and add a healthy Okofur, as the first pick in the draft and you can have a potential threat in the East. Being a NY Knick fan, my team can use the week confrence to its advantage, but I want to see the east get stronger and more competitive.
Here are a bunch of news links from this mornings rumors in todays papers.
