I dont know if this was posted. INSIDE THE NBA went to the Los Angeles charity game they had. ( These are not in exact words but mostly what he said ) They asked Steve Francis on Hakeems leaving the rockets. He said that hakeem always told him that how we should work hard and get the team to the playoffs. He thinks it was his decision and he respects it. He said Hakeem did what he thought was right for him and his family. Then they asked 2 former rockets , Kenny and Cassell. Kenny thinks that Hakeem is going to make toronto a better team. It was a tough decision, and he wishes that hakeem would of stayed a rocket and just retired as a rocket. Cassell wanted Hakeem to remain a rocket because the city of houston gave alot to him. And that Hakeem should of just stayed with the rockets and retired so it could have a happy ending. Then he said I dont know i guess its all about Business I hope Hakeem saw that!
