    How did it affect the attendance when he was playing these last two years? I think that most will (while wishing that Hakeem was a Rockets) will feel that the team is taking a step in the right direction, and attendance will not be affected. Remember we just drafted a hot shot, and add that to a team the just missed the playoffs by a butt hair, and I think you will find AIS.

    i understand that but the stands are also filled with people who have no clue who steve francis is or Eddie griffin(one being my mum) so i know that fans who know will be their but there will be some drop off because of people like my mum who go to see the legend that was the Dream.

    I'm sure there will be a huge marketing campaign having to do with "Your New Young Guns"....or something like that to saturate the media.

    Win and they will come. Trust me, the people that came to the Rockets games knew who Francis was. They even knew who Cuttino Mobley was, with the hype they were getting around the league.
