    I would assume McGrady's number will be #1 and Yao is, of course, #11, then truly the Rockets should adopt KHOU's old slogan: The "ones" to watch.

    If Eddie Griffin comes back, will he wear #33 or #41 (the number he originally wanted so he could honor his brother?

    What will the jersey numbers be for Gaines, Howard and Lue?

    '


    Look Drox, I don't know if you knew this but JVG loved Eddie and believe he could be a monster with the right coaching. JVG wasn't the only coach or GM in the league that believed/knew that. He WILL be back in the NBA this year and I can only hope we can sign (a mentaly heathly) player of his talent to a two contract. He's only 22-23 years old.....kid HAD problems, just hope they are behind him.

    Juwan will wear Mobley's #, "Chris" Gaines will wear #23 IMO, and Lue will sport #10...

    Gaines will not be wearing #23, I know that much, Calvin Murphy will always have claim on that one...

    Droxford: I said IF Eddie Griffin comes back.

    My prediction is that Gaines will be #20 and Howard remain #5.
