    You know what, Skip wasn't all that bad for us.
    Sure he couldn't shoot consistently but he was a professional and did what the coaches asked him what to do. Steve Francis didn't take his starting job either despite the fans desire.

    Excluding the valet parking people, Clutchfans will miss you!

    If skip could shoot the 3 ball more consistently I would have been more than happy with him as the PG for this team.

    Skip was always cool whenever I got a chance to talk to him

    I will miss the guy in some ways.

    You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone.

    I am refusing to accept this is true right now.

    Denial
    Anger
    Bargaining
    Depression

    I will miss your shotting percentage but not your heart. Good luck! You should really be able to throw some alley's to Dwight Howard.

    I agree, this thread is necessary. I hated you Rafer, but you still were the man.

    Didn't Rick like Skip? This makes no sense whatsoever

    Remember the Bogut deal, this may end up better than we think!

    Don't jump the gun yet. Alston might fail the physical test. Didn't he fail a physical test before and didnt get traded?

    Wish you the best Skip, I liked you despite your inconsistent shooting, you were a decent floor general and didn't have many turn overs which was a plus. You go to a better team with a better chance at post season success this year.

    Without McGrady, Skip was good.

    I liked Rafer. The only tough Rocket we had. Never made mistakes. Sigh... Lowry can't shoot the 3. I am upset.

    I'm sad. He didn't shoot well, but he was a solid point guard for us. Very solid at running the offense and controlling the ball. :(
