Hello Steve Francis, what part of "It's A Business" don't you understand.
His reaction to Orlando trading Mobley only validates my argument of this guy maturity level, and why he will never lead a team to a championship.
Look at these statments he made after learning Cat had been traded
"They shouldn't have traded him," Francis said after a 119-101 loss to the
Boston Celtics on Monday night, adding that he was emotionally drained and distracted during the game.
But Francis took the departure of his backcourt partner hard.
"I can't put it into words," he said. "Playing with a guy, living with a guy,
just knowing that every day when I wake up that's something I can count on, that I'm going to be in practice or in a game with Cuttino.
"Him not being here is going to be tough for me. I don't know what I'm going to wake up for."
"They messed up something that started so good, man," said Francis, an All-Star the past three seasons. "I don't feel there was a need to break something up just because he was going to be a free agent and you don't want to pay him at the end of the season.
"You don't wait 30 minutes before a game to tell a guy he's traded," Francis said. "The way you handle relationships, for me, is going to change the way that I approach the game, more businesslike than anything."
I can see this with 8 year old boys, but these are grown men in a business. Steve feelings get hurt and he shuts down. It's a pattern with him. Now I'm really starting to wonder about the rumors.http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1964511_________________ (¯`v´¯

Trade pissed me off; I have Mobley on my fantasy team and he's going to do NOTHING in Sacto.

If W a player "came out" and talked about a teammate like that, the pigs in the press would take it the wrong way.

Oh, hell, I'm taking it that way. It's more fun than him being a spoilt brat.

It sounded like a coming out party too me. When I saw that, I could hear the lyrics of Diana Ross I'm Coming Out", playing in the background.
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through
In Houston he and Cat did wear each others arm sweatband, w/ each other's number. People was buzzing about that then.

Francis said that while Mobley is happy about his new opportunity, he is still stung by the Magic's move.
"I talked to him after the game and he's feeling good," Francis said. "He's excited to be playing on a team that actually wants him."
When Mobley and Francis played in Houston they used to trade sweatbands with Francis wearing Mobley's No. 5 and Mobley wearing Francis' No. 3. When Mobley was traded on Monday, Francis wore his wristband.
