It's official. Francis rejoining Rockets
Chron.com has the story up. Steve Francis is signing with the Rockets. His contract will be similar to the one Bonzi Wells signed last year: two years for about $6 million, with an opt-out option after next year.
The comments seem to say that Francis is looking to be a winner, and is willing to do what is needed to be a team player. Now he has to prove it. Time will tell."I think he sees this as a rebirth, as a restart of his career," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said.
"It's a combination of a variety of factors including the fit with the team, a comfortableness with the organization and a familiarity with the surroundings," Fried said. "He has a home in Houston. In so many ways, it has remained his home, despite some interim stops, Orlando and New York.
"For Steve, it's coming home."
"Steve has a sense we're real close. We think he can be a big part of getting us there. I always thought it was a long shot. Credit to Steve, he chose what he thought was the best chance to win over options that were better financially.
ESPN the Magazine also covers the story.
