    I don't know about rest CF, but I do feel he was class act and deserved to have his on appreciation thread. Never saw him complain and seem go about his business like a true professional.

    Anyone remember this article about him?

    After his poor start in Houston, I definite thought he would not be in the league next year. I think he proved me wrong.

    He did shot ball above average from 3pt range and seem very clutch at end quarters. I think 3pt shooting saved his job and will still be in NBA next year.

    Best of luck Mr. Douglas.

    TD made some big shots for the Rockets this year.

    Wish him nothing but the best.

    Thank you for your support to Lin from New york to Houston. You are a good player with great personality and provided necessary help when Lin needed all the time. We all know Lin felt sad when he knew you let go.
    There will be some great memories of you and Lin in Linsanity forever. You are the last eye witness of Linsanity in current Rockets, Lin fans will miss you and hope you a great future.

    Toney played well this season. I hope he gets a decent contract with another NBA team next year. He's been a pro.

    Although I was right when he got benched for P. Beverley earlier on for a few games....Toney was trade bait...

    That man was ten times the player I thought he was going to be when we got him in that trade. Thanks for bringing your best every time you got on the court! I hope that hip pointer is all healed up.

    Hopefully see you on the rockets when your contract is up!

    was a great backup to lin and provided us with defensive skill that most of our team doesn't possess. Wish him good luck in sactown (hopefully Seattle next season)
