<< My point is that the Houston Rockets players shouldn't come out and tell the Houston Rockets what they would like them to do, in the draft. Saying something like Cutino Mobley said, might hurt the leverage the Houston Rockets have, if they ever decided to trade the #1 pick in the draft. It makes me wonder if Cutino Mobley is more worried about Steve Francis, or himself. >>

Vecsey--Remember, Francis is the guy who was drafted by Vancouver and told them he would not play for them and forced them to trade him to Houston. Given the track record, I think he feels very safe dictating to management.
