"Say it isn't so, tell me you're not leaving." I understand why Daryl Morey decided this trade and wanna send Landry to the Kings, but isn't that all about the future? So that means Landry was never a part of the future cornerstone that we're gonna build on?
This trade just makes me horribly sad. Landry was the single guy I least wanted to see used as a trade chip, dude was all heart for us every single night, and was just THE MAN. Houston loves you, Carl. Have a fantastic career.
Look at the bright side. If Kenny Thomas can make a comeback and be re-acquainted. So could Landry. Found a thread about Kenny Thomas being a black hole and ballhog. (From second page onwards.) Kenny Thomas (in thread JVG on 610, 2004)
As soon as i heard about this - this exactly what i did in my car, nearly swirved. Words cant express how hard its gonna be without Landry. I enjoyed his presence the entire time while on our roster. May his future be bright.Goodbye CL...
Love me some Landry and would hate to see him go, but I was starting to get concerned that the league had figured him out and that when allowed to play his game he was phenominal, but when doubled or forced to play a little different he could get lost kinda quick.

Carl Landry Appreciation/Farewell Thread: We Love You Brother! Lets give it up to one of our favorite players! This guy put his heart on the court every night and gave it his all, sacrificing his body and becoming one of the most improved guys in the league, 6th MOY in my opinion. You will be missed Carl!!
For many of us, you were the face of the Rockets team. Toughness, courage, tenacity, resilience. You will be a starter on your new team and soon an All-Star. We'll cheer for your every success. Wish us well too!
Here's to you, Carl "The Tooth" Landry, aka Mandry. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gcIOLWGktZE&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gcIOLWGktZE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> You embodied the heart, passion, and never-ending hustle all Rockets fans want in their players. Best of luck to you, and know that this board will always consider you a Rocket (unless we face you in the playoffs ).
