The Portland Trail Blazers waived guard Steve Francis on Tuesday after agreeing to a buyout of his contract.Francis is now an unrestricted free agent and should clear waivers in seven days. Francis scored in this deal, as he was able to collect more than $30 million of his $34 million contract in the agreement. (Jeff) Fried [Francis' agent] said the deal allows Francis to choose the "right fit as opposed to the most money. He doesn't need much to be made whole." He's likely to end up with the Clippers, but the Mavericks, Heat and Lakers have also expressed interest in him. If he joins the Clippers, he'll be reunited with ex-teammate and best friend, Cuttino Mobley. Chances are he's going to see significant playing time, and possibly a starting job, wherever he ends up.

Dickhead, I've broken many stories on here before they actually went down, shut your amature mouth, Francis most likely isn't going anywhere else. Mobley is his butt-buddy, dude is signing with the Clips unless Mobley is gone from the picture...PeACe
