    Please reply with some love and a departing message for Kenny.

    For me, the dude is undersized but his heart is seriously oversized, hope you get some love and a contract in Phili. If not continue to play tough and hard and you'll be rewarded in the offseason.

    Thanks muchly for the great footwork, hustle, improvement, effort, intensity, defense, post moves, and one of my favourite blocks of all time, you will be sorely missed!!!!

    PS as my mum used to say "if you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything all", so stay out if your comments aren't positive!

    I'm not sad to see Kenny leave ... but I must admit if his teammates (you know who they are) put forth as much effort on the court improving their game as KT, we would have made the play-offs one of these last 2 seasons.

    I'm sorry to see Kenny go. He had a lot of heart, and some fantastic moves... I always felt that if the damned shots would just fall down AFTER the moves, then he could be an 18/10 guy... a Horace Grant with better footwork. But those great moves just seemed to end with bricks more often than not. And that never changed.

    Good luck, Kenny. I'll miss you. You played hard. You had flaws, but ones I could live with.

    I don't think we got enough value for him... but we weren't going to, under the circumstances.

    How about respecting the wishes of the thread starter, who made it clear which direction he would like to see the thread go in?

    I like the idea of getting Posey, but I'm sad to see KT go -- without a doubt. Neither Mo nor Griffin display the fire on both ends of the floor that Kenny does. He's a hard worker and I think what he's done to his body the last 3 seasons proves that. He'll do well in Philly and I wish him the best.

    This is a sad day for me. I was really hoping we would keep Kenny and find a way to utilize his talents to make our team better. He did everything the Rockets asked of him and more. He improved and expanded his game every year. He always played the games with the kind of effort you wish all players on our team could match. I'm going to continue to be a Kenny T fan and root for him to play well, unless he is playing against us. Good-bye Kenny and good luck!!!!!

    On the bright side this is the best thing that could of happened to Kenny. He should thrive in the east and really be a big part of the Sixers team success. Here’s to seeing Kenny and the Sixers in the finals!!!!!

    Here's to stackin' 30 and 15 on the Warriors every time we meet! I think the test of this trade is when we play the warriors.

    Whatever you do, don't pass to the guy wearing number 3, he's a blackhole. I just hope you enjoy Philly but stink it up against us if you could. Move over Sam, Robert and Bull, we got a new guy to add to the situation.

    I always loved KT. The only reason he dropped to where he did in the draft was because people were afraid his weight problem would be an issue, but he's become more and more physically impressive every season. Every time he steps on the court he plays hard. Even if he's having an off game he's still out there hustling and giving it all. That's an attribute that not a lot of players have these days.

    i was never a KT basher. I liked his game...in ways, but most of all I really thought it was great how he got himself in such great shape this offseason. He is much more muscular to push around with the bigger guys.
    But, I must admit, I think the rockets are much better off now. We got the great defender Posey, and now there is not that big Jam in PF spot, so more min for EG, and Taylor will play again....

    Also...OF TOPIC:
    Every rocket played tonight, atleast 1 min. Except poor Boki, who has not been able to take his warm ups off.... :( :(
    I deserves some time...especially in garbage min....

    i must admit that i was one of those people who didn't really like the drafting of KT, but man oh man, did i learn to love that pick. Kenny, you will be missed. Good Luck in Philly and i will continue to be a fan of yours in your absence here in houston. the 76'ers are a better team tonight because of you. i really hope you get the contract you deserve this off-season if not sooner. Good Luck and Congradulations KT!!!
