    I loved KT's work ethic and the fact that he improved every offseason.

    I have some ties to New Mexico and love the underdogs, so I rooted for him from day 1.

    Take care Kenny and I hope you will be happy in Philly.

    Good luck KT. I fear you're going to be laughing your arse off when Mo eats Eddie and the rest of his tendons pop.

    You know the best thing about Kenny,

    Coming out of New Mexico people said he was lazy. He turned out to be the hardest worker on this team. He has been our steadiest force for three seasons. If only he could finish. He never developed a consistent shot which I think is the reason Rudy likes Mo Taylor more. But I will miss him. He did have some rim rattling dunks.

    KT was always one of my favorites. The way he worked on his body was amazing. Every year he looked slimmer and stronger. He hustled and played his ass off and I always appreciated his effort. Larry Brown is a fantastic coach and can make KT an even better player. Good luck Kenny!!

    Even though KT drove me crazy with his plays sometimes, he was starting to grow on me prior to the trade...I was starting to see why so many people in here love his game so much....his tenacity and his big heart...I really hope he does well in Philly...

    It's sad to see him go, but sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too. I hope Posey helps us, we needed a 3. Hopefully Griff will reach his potential with us and we'll be set.

    With his minutes back, Mo needs to produce.

    Good luck KT. I hope you help your new team.

    I never really liked Kenny, but you had to show him some props for the hard-work he put into his game. We're gonna miss you KT, best-wishes in Philly. And hope to show them your skills in the East. ;)

    KT had been our major working horse the last couple of years ,
    especially last year with our injury and roster problems. He worked hard and did whatever he was asked to do: rebounding, defending and scoring.
    But unfortunatelly, with rockets' roster we have right now, KT's service is not that improtant as it was before. Life sometimes is unfair. Well wish him have better luck in Philly.

    I'm really sad to see Kenny leave. I thought that we were still considering keeping him since he's been doing so well.

    I hope that Philli will take good care of him and reward him better than we did.

    Best Wishes Kenny! ;)

    Kenny Thomas was a great player for us. He worked hard and he was one of the last players that I hope will never leave us. My favorite Kenny Thomas moment was when we played the Kings last year and Kenny played his heart out. He did everything to keep the Rockets in the game. I hope he will come back to us, though the likelihood of that happening is not significant. Maybe, he will be back in 7-10 years, who knows.
    I think that Kenny did not like the fact that he was traded. Though his agent might say he is happy, I doubt he wanted to leave the Rockets. He said many times that liked the Rockets and that he wanted to be a Rocket for the rest of his career.
