Steve Francis was initially very public about being very hurt that Rocket management was attempting to trade him to the Orlando Magic for Tracy McGrady. Francis was optimistic about the future of Houston basketball with he and Yao Ming as nucleus.
Now that some time has passed since the trade, Francis is settling into his future with the Magic.
"I've learned a lot," he said. "So many guys were traded. I've never seen this much action in the NBA in my life as far as so many different moves being made.
"I have no hard feelings toward the NBA. I'm pretty sure anybody will tell you, it's a business. The Rockets traded away their best player in team history, Hakeem Olajuwon. I'm no different."
Francis' first return to Houston will be on January 24th.
