eh, this is just for a laugh...if you have no sense of humor, this is your chance to push the 'back' button on your browser, and leave now...
on with the quotes...assembled from other boards in reaction to the francis trade:
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Oh happy day! Isiah just made one of the worst trades in NBA history and I couldn't be more excited. The prospect of Marbury and Francis in the same backcourt could be its own reality TV series. I can't wait for Marbury to bring up the ball and The Franchise to start jawing at him followed by Steph hurling the rock at Francis' head and a brawl ensuing. This is too exciting for words. LONG LIVE ZEKE!!!"

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I've gotta say, I'm totally in favor of the Knicks' trade for Francis. Larry Brown is a master motivator and a great coach, so if anyone can make the tandem of Francis, Marbury, and Rose work, it's him. It's like the Fab Five at Michigan ? all that talent in one place is destined to win. What? The Fab Five didn't win any titles? Oh.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Steve Francis to the Knicks -- unbelievable. I've been trying to think of an analogy that equates to what Isiah is doing to the woeful Knicks and I've got it. The Knicks are his scab and he keeps picking at it. He looks at it, knows it's not healed, picks it ? and it bleeds again. Unfortunately, now it's infected, beyond repair, and it's time to amputate."

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A few weeks ago, you wrote about how Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis should be traded for each other every few months, since they both wear out their welcomes with new teams so quickly. Do you think Isiah Thomas read this and totally misunderstood it to mean that he should put them both in the same backcourt? I can't think of any other explanation as to why he would make this move. To that end, what do you think Isiah has to do to finally get fired? Can you imagine the ridiculous trade he will have to make to finally get the Knicks' front office to realize they have the worst GM in the history of sports? Because they seem to be the only people unaware of this."

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Oh god, oh god, oh god, Isiah, oh my god, why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
</div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Hahahahaha! I think Isiah should trade for Jason Williams and Damon Jones so that the Knicks can become the first-ever team to start five despicable shoot-first point guards. Also, then New York could play their all-point-guard team against Atlanta's all-small-forward team and we could finally see which position is better."
