hopefully we use francis, but dont get him

[flashakadrano]

sorry if someone else already posted something like this. i'm too lazy to look.


i hear denver is one team interested in francis and might be willing to part with watson and kmart.

orlando already has howard and milicic, so they dont really need kmart, and they have arroyo and nelson, so i dont think they need watson.

i would like to see the lakers get involved.

i think this trade makes sense.

we get a good pg who can actually play some d. and we get a fiery emotional inside presence.

what do you guys think?

What is the fascination with K-Mart? I want Lamar traded as much as the next guy, but K-Mart is even more overpaid than Lamar. What does he bring to the table that Lamar doesn't bring? And we'd be stuck with K-Mart until 2011 and Watson until 2010. Both players are overpaid and would not help this team get to the next level. A big, fat NO to this trade.
