    Does Deke have any position in the rockets right now? I hope that he stays in Houston as a rockets employee.

    For a person like deke, I'd like him to be an ambassador to the game.

    Dikembe should be given a ceremonial position on the Houston Rockets, or in the NBA administration in general.

    Deke's jersey should be retired at the Toyota center.

    Thanks for everything Deke, you put your heart into this team 100 % of the time.

    Hope you comeback to this injury cursed team in the future. :(

    I don't think there's a person with greater combined basketball talent and dedication to giving than Dikembe Mutumbo

    We're really going to miss him on the bench, his effect purely from standing and cheering is irreplaceable. If we can offer him some type of coaching or other form of employment we should do it asap.

    It will be interesting to see how much Deke shows Rockets loyalty. His glory days were certainly not in Houston, and if I'm not mistaken he still has a house in Atlanta. We may not see much of him.

    I miss him already.
