    Thanks Rafer, without you, our 22 game win streak would have been impossible.

    Thanks for returning in Game 3 last year and helping us win in Utah on the road.

    Skips a good guy, despite the flakiness, and he was our leader. Orlando is a great situation for him. I'll be rooting for him over there.

    Good luck with your career in Orlando, Rafer.
    You assist stat will boom a lot and I can see DH is grinning.

    Skip, I'd rather you stay. You're the general of the team.

    Thanks, but know that I didn't say he would get farther than us. The book's not out on us yet; I'm not like most of the sky-is-falling fans here. Let's see how it works out.

    I like Rafer despite what others say.. Some times, I would think that Rafer's inconsistency comes from Tmac's randomness...

    Good luck Rafer

    Thanks for the work you put in.

    22 in a row wouldn't have happened without you.

    Yeah... the best Rafer memory has to be when he lit up the Lakers on #22.

    i think all of us will miss rafer no matter how many times has he clanked his 3s.
    But we will all remember what you did to the LAKERS last year during the 22nd win of the streak, thank you Skip!
