    Thank you for the great year that you put up in Houston. I hope that
    whatever you team you play, you will continue to grow as a player. Even
    though Dwight is our current center, you will always be in our hearts. I will never forget your clutch freethrow daggers against OKC and your constant monster doubles. I will also never forget your missed layups, uncoordinated footwork, clumsiness, and your insightful post game interviews.

    Omer Asik you will be missed

    Thank you for the hard work last year that got us into the playoffs. Wish you are staying and it's a pity that you are not.

    Play well no matter where you go.

    Can't say I am his fan when he has only given us one season and a playoff series.

    But respect and thanks to him.
    I am disappointed that he is not a Scola type of guy who gives all effort even when he was about to get amnestied.

    I think we go the two way player route.

    Omer, you have definitely been one of my favorites Rockets! Even though you were frustrating with your stone hands and very limited offensive game, I have enjoyed watching you give it your all game in as out and your growth as a player. So proud of you whenever you hit your occasional 15 footer and your free throws. I'm sad to see your time here coming to and end but I'll definitely be keeping tabs on you wherever you go! I hope you get traded to somewhere where you can continue to grow and for a player the Rockets can use to help us!

    Big fan, there are moments I think we should stay with him, but Howard is a unique talent, and as hard as it was to get him, got to play it out. Asik is a Scola type player which I really like, lunch pail, hard hat player, that works hard, gives their all. I truly respect that. I wish him well wherever he goes. He was a big part of getting us in the playoffs last year. There were games that he put up some "Yao-like" numbers.

    Best of luck big fella, so long.

    He is OVERATED here, a great defensive center and a putrid offensive one.

    Get what you can for him and wave bye bye....

    You need to play both ends of the floor, why people are pining over a guy who was part of a team that finished 8th last year is beyond me....he is just not that good.
