PRESS RECAP
As if you read my last post, you may noticed that I received a trade offer from Houston. They offered me Steve Francis and a 1st round pick for Andre Iguodala. That seemed like a good deal for me since I already had Carney.
So i accepted it.
Tuesday,November 7,2006,Philadelphia
The press room was full. A blockbluster deal was just made. Steve Francis, the former Rocket, and Andre Iguodala will switch teams soon.
Maurice Cheeks started.....
"You all know we just made a blockbuster, but it is something that will help the team. Our team needed a Shooting Guard, but Francis can play both, I'm not saying that Andre is a bad player, he is a great one and I wish him the best in the Rockets because he deserves it, questions"
Q:Yes, for you Mr. Cheeks. What impact you think that Steve Francis will
have on your team?
A:Well certainly a big one, you can't feel neutral for him, 99% of the people will love him, for sure.
Q:For Mr. Francis. What do you think about your new team?
A:Well you see, there are a lot very talented players here, also there is a team leader which is proving himself. I think that McDyess is the one
Q:another one for Mr.Cheeks. Are you going to resign Francis after this season?
A:Certainly I will do my best to resign him, it will be up to him.
Q:For Mr.Iguodala. Are you happy that you are leaving and are you happy about your new team?
A:well, no offense to the sixers but in Houston I have a chance for winning, so yes, I am happy that I'm leaving and I'm happy that Houston is the team I'm traded to.
Q:thank you for your time guys.
A:don't mention it.
Game vs. Toronto coming soon(Francis will debut)
