    i'm excited for rafer in orlando. he is very well suited to play with howard.
    and we will miss his mad handles, not to mention he was quite clutch sometimes at the end of games with his threes.

    is it just me or is this the most significant trade we've made since we traded for t-mac?

    i don't know what it is, but i feel weird right now, like we lost someone. when we traded steve francis, it was shocking, but we got a better player in return at the time.

    when i first found out rafer was traded i was shocked, then a little sad. i was a little sad when we traded francis but this feels different. im gonna miss rafer. wish him well.

    With 2 RAs in one team, one has to go. It is the PG.

    Orlando cheered on MeMouse's departure, and now welcomes Skip to Magic Kingdom with open arms.

    Skip, thank you and good bye.

    i will miss you, rafer. well, maybe sometimes. i will miss your streetball moves (i know you weren't allowed to show much).

    you're a good rocket. you played hard and you played a team game. solid handles, too. (just wonder why luther hasn't learned anything from you.)

    your only big weakness is shooting. but that might be covered somewhat if you're on another team. at least now, we have enough bricks donated by you, rafer, to build the next new arena.

    and i will drop tears when i think of your tear drops.

    do good in orlando. god bless. but if somehow we meet again in the finals, you would know what to do, eh?

    Thanks for memories, Rafer.

    Glad that you'll be joining a team that can really use you. Good luck in the playoffs.

    Rafer really matured into a professional during his few years here. Despite of all his faults, he's been a solid contributer for the Rockets. I wish Rafer best lucks in the future.

    Even though you couldn't shoot worth crap, you hit a lot of clutch shots. I'll never forget that monster performance you had against LA during out winning streak. I'm gonna miss your toughness, Rafer!

    Best of luck, Rafer. Disappointed we never saw the second round with you, but may you win many rounds in the East and wreak havoc on our common foes!

    I trust in Morey but Rafer was one of the few players on the team who really played hard and showed leadership on the court. I'll definitely miss him. Best of luck Rafer.
