    I will have my arms crossed when he comes.

    I will uncross them when he signs an extension.

    Why do your parents hang pictures of you on their wall even if you don't particularly care about them? Other people's needs may or may not affect your decisions. I'm saying that the greatest players take into account other people's opinions of themselves in their decisions less than lesser players do. I disagree that all great athletes are motivated by getting into the Hall of Fame- I believe they're motivated by the greatness and dominance aspect of it, but not the glamor and glitz aspect, the prestige.

    There have been many reports that he is VERY concerned about how people think of him. Much more than other players. Ya'll thought K-Mart got his feelings hurt easily, just wait. I think he'll be fine as long as he doesn't get negative tweets right after the trade...if it happens. Everyone will used to the idea of him being here by the time he steps foot in the Toyota Center.

    If people do start booing him I'll know that as a franchise we deserve to dwell in mediocrity forever. I'll also disassociate myself with our entire classless fanbase, if that does happen--can't call yourself a Rockets fan if the team's fans are known to be horrible people.

    However, none of that will happen. Rockets fans will show some class and some desire to win. Also, nobody is going to be upset because Morey is going to win this trade like he always does.

    Nobody is booing him yet... he has done nothing here.... the question was whether to emphatically embrace him or just saying meh.... until he proves his worth

    Don't really care anymore to be honest. If it happens then it happens, if it doesn't happen then it doesn't happen. If we don't get Dwight during the offseason, we're going to have a really fun time trying to win any games with a roster of rookies, a few 2-3 year players and an unhappy Kevin Martin (who will probably play out of his mind this year for his last big contract, I'm sure).

    I'm sure after you compared him to an ugly baby, he will feel very appreciated. So now we have big baby, and ugly baby heading our way.

    I'm just hoping he doesn't become Shawn Kemp (Google) and leave without care.

    It would be hilarious if we get Juwan again not Dwight :grin:

    That said, I would welcome D12 but I won't be surprised if he left after only a season.

    I'm not gonna boo him or anything, but I'm not going to cater to his diva ism. If he acts like an ass he'll get what he deserves.

    I'll boo him. I don't care.

    We are still just players in FA next summer, just with a worse/less appealing team now.

    I wasn't always a pro tanker, but if Bynum is saying he would come here then why wouldnt we get a top 5 pick this year and sign him next year? Nope let's just gut the team for a diva

    It all depends on how he handles this. I hope the Rockets reporters are very critical and attack him relentlessly, I mean why should we root for a guy who doesn't want to come here.
