    Great team guy and good player who can shoot the ball from 3. Hope he crushes it in Sacramento

    TD, although you can't run the team as a true PG, you were a great energy spark coming off bench. Thanks for those few last second tough shots. Good luck

    I'm glad someone made this, Toney was a good guy. I gave him a lot of flack, but he always gave a lot of effort and tried to do what was best for the team (even though sometimes he made some horrible horrible plays). I hope he doesn't get waived and lasts in the league at least a few years more. Best of luck to him.

    Best of luck to Toney. Great energy player and seemed like a great guy in the locker room. His flaw was being a SG in a PG's body. Hopefully he'll get some consistent minutes in Sac.

    No Cole Adrich thread?

    best of luck to you tony. not only skilled player but a great person who everyone liked. makes his shots, plays defense, gets the steals, played with a lot of control and rarely turned the ball over. just a really nice presence on and off the court. I don't think you could ask for a better backup to lin. sucks to see him go.

    I agree, when he first came on board I thought he was going to
    be another Brian Cook type of player keeping the the bench warm but
    he kind of won me over with his energy and hustle!
    Good luck TD!...;)

    I was the first to rip on Toney Douglas...thought he was a total bust...but then he started to grow on me as a player...he was relentless defensively and helped carry JLin initial struggles...Im glad that he got his shot back...but he is in a really tough situation in Sacramento...Too many guards all trying to fight for PT...TD might just get lost in the shuffle...and thats too bad...bc he was a good player for our ROckets...best of luck in your career...

    He was actually very emotional about TD being traded, and stated that he didn't even feel like playing last night. I think he was upset about everyone being traded in general, but he's been with TD since his NY days, so i think that one hurt the most.

    GL with your career Toney

    Will miss TD, he was really professional. Remember back in ny, he was always everyones favorite whipping boy. But he was really happy for Lin, even when he took over his pg position during Linsanity. A couple of games, he did not go to due to personal reasons that time, but he still showed up again. That must have been very painful for him deep down during linsanity. (and old bibby taking over when lin got injured for backup pg)

    Anways, thanks TD, hope you do well with the kings!

    Td was a great combo with harden/jlin. When one of them had to rest. Hope that he gets to start in kings.

    Appreciated TD contribution this season. TD was adequate coming off the bench. It was McFAIL who had fail to utilize him properly. Now we need a backup pg.

    Hopefully Lin keeps playing well, because for a while we really depended on TD to pick up the slack.
