    I always hoped there would be a jordan-type statue for Hakeem in front of our new stadium like in chicago, I guess now it's out of the question.

    I don't see why this changes anything. I would like to see a statue of Hakeem in a few years when the stadium opens. Do you really think people will still hold a grudge 3 years from now?

    Houstonians will more than likely remember the 20 years and 2 championships Olajuwan brought us rather than hold a grudge. Time heals all wounds and the Rockets may be better off in the long run.

    I don't think anyone should hold a grudge against Dream. His going to Toronto doesn't chage anything that he did for the city. And in the long run, for this team, it is better that he moves on now rather than later.
