Speaking of Steve Francis "Boss F. Fernandes", domestic fans may feel some emotion and regret, feeling that he took care of Yao Ming, who was unfamiliar with his life in the NBA, and let him quickly integrate into the team and become a real interior pillar; It's a pity that the two have never really partnered at their peak. When Yao Ming was not in his prime, he was sent to the Magic by the Rockets as a trade chip in exchange for Tracy McGrady.

Although he briefly returned to the Rockets at the end of his career, he no longer had the vigor and strength he once had, and could only contribute an average of 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game as a substitute, and faded out of the NBA after 10 games. Although it is not that Boss Fergus is bad in exchange for Maddie, the original trade was indeed difficult for some old Rockets fans. Today, the author will take you to review what the original transaction that made Boss Fergus and Maddy change teams was like, and who the players involved were.

The reasons why Steve Francis and Tracy McGrady changed teams:

At that time, the Magic had Tracy McGrady as the scoring champion, and although they made the playoffs year after year, they couldn't break through the first round and achieve better results every year, so the Magic management was eager to rebuild the team by adjusting the roster to achieve better results. At the same time, they have already acquired Dwight Howard, a seemingly talented center, from this draft, but it will take a while for him to grow up, and Maddie, who only has a two-year contract, will definitely not be able to wait, after all, when the fully grown Maddie's contract extension will explode.

In addition, Maddie has long been eager to have a better roster and exposure, and the Magic team that only wants to develop new players is definitely not a good choice, so a trade for Maddie is imperative. On the other hand, the Rockets are also looking for a super outside partner to partner Yao Ming in order to get better results and tickets, and they happen to have Steve Francis, a potential star who has just passed his rookie contract and signed on the team. In this way, the two teams hit it off and began to trade two players, Steve Francis and Tracy McGrady. However, judging from the results, this deal is not profitable, or even a lose-lose situation.

In addition to Steve Francis and Tracy McGrady, the five players involved in the deal:

1. Taryn Lue

Tyronn Lue, probably no one could have imagined that the famous "Coach Lu" would be one of the deals, and it seems that he is partnered with a lot of big-name stars. Tyronn Lue was drafted by the Nuggets in the first round at No. 23 in 1998 and then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers along with Tony Barty to start his NBA career, where he played in just 61 games in three seasons with the Lakers, scoring and assisting in single digits. In the 01-02 season, Tyronn Lue, who ended his rookie contract, went to join the Wizards with Michael Jordan, who was returning at the time, and then came to the Magic team in the 03-04 season to partner Maddy, and went to the Rockets with the trade to partner Yao Ming. However, Lue's time with the Rockets was short, playing only 21 games before being sent to the Hawks, where he played in his prime, averaging 11.4 points and 3.6 assists per game. Finally, in the 08-09 season he was traded by the Magic, where he partnered with Dwight Howard and retired.

2. Juwan Howard

Juwan Howard, who was selected by the Bullets in the first round in 1994 and is now the Washington Wizards, averaged 17 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in the first year of his career, and even more so in the second year, averaging 22.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and was selected as an All-Star that season. In the 03-04 season, he came to the Magic team and averaged 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and then was sent to the Rockets as a bargaining chip for the Rockets partner Yao Ming, who was one of the better of Yao Ming's interior partners, averaging 11.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. In the 12-13 season, he retired after winning the championship for the second time with the Heat.

3. Liz Gains

Liz Gaines was selected by the Magic in 2003 with the 15th pick in the first round of the NBA to start his NBA career. Although the pick seems okay, Gaines is actually a parallel commodity, averaging only 1.8 points and 1.1 rebounds per game in his first year with the Magic, and was sent to the Bucks after only 10 games after being traded to the Rockets. At the end of his rookie's three-year contract, Gaines faded out of the NBA.

4. Catino Mobley

Catino Mobley, selected by the Rockets in the second round in 1998, averaged 10 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in the first year of his career, reached his peak in the fourth year of his career, and averaged 21.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, and still scored 15.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists in the 03-04 season. However, after going to the Magic, because his contract was about to expire, the Magic traded him to the Kings again. In the 05-06 season, he joined the Clippers as a free agent, averaging 13 points and 3 rebounds per game for four years, and announced his retirement due to a heart attack in December 2008.

5. Kevin Cato

Kevin Cato was drafted by the Mavericks in the first round in 1997 and then traded to the Portland Trail Blazers to start his NBA career, but only averaged 3.5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. So he was traded to the Rockets in the 99-00 season, where he averaged 6.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, and was traded to the Magic, although he averaged 7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, but due to injuries, his playing time and statistics plummeted, and he soon faded out of the NBA.
