Houston has Artest as a defensive presence so that leaves little playing time for Shane! Francis has alittle bit of juice left to probably give us a lift. He's a big PG who can help out Nelson and Ellis...Shane could give S-Jax some valuable time to rest on the bench and as well as a good defensive presence...

Even though it's a Western Conference trade it works well for both teams!!!

Yeah I checked it and the numbers workout.

Francis cant play, Battier is hurt and plus i dont think Houston would give him up even when healthy, he is a rare, ultra balanced, player.

I'm with Crackerz, plus I don't think Houston really is in need of a trade, they are what? 4-0? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. teams like Portland, Atlanta, Charlotte, New York - teams that need help and haven't made any big trades are the only realistic teams that would deal with us. esp since we are trying to ship harrington.

Francis is still in the NBA???

btw, having Scola and Landry inside and Battier and Artest at SF, I don't know why Houston would trade for Al. Sounds bogus.

Why on earth would Houston give up Battier for Harrington?
