    Denver?
    Atlanta?
    Philly?
    NJN?

    Not sure but my guess would be Denver. We have him to thank for our two championships.

    He goes in with Rockets red.

    Because he wins his ring here.

    I hope he chooses Rockets, after he wins big here.

    We picked him up at supposedly the "end" of his career, we put faith in him right behind Yao as our #2 center.

    And most of all, we LOVE him.

    Denver, unless he wins a ring here...then that might become interesting.

    well nolan F'd us and went in with the rangers cause he had moer accomplishments in arlington (dispite only playing there for 5 years).... hopefully deke will follow this thought process.

    I'm not totally sure you "wear a jersey" into the Basketball HOF.

    whatever he wears... he will be shown in his Rocket uniform on nba.com...

    I am so sick of seeing Hakeem in Toronto colors on the site.

    i don't think you pick a jersey in the basketball HOF but if he was going to it would probably depend on how many rings he wins here.

    I'm wondering if Deke might get a serious offer to start somewhere next year...I really think the man could average 28 m/g next year and lead the league in rebounding... :eek:

    Deke is playing like he's 40 again. ;)

    LOL! That's the good one!

    Let's see, Deke made himself a name while with that No.8 seed Nuggets that stunned the no.1 seed Sonics. Then he won a few defensive player award as a Hawks. Went to NBA finals once as a Sixers. Elbowed Yao in the throat as a Knicks. So far he accomplished very limited as a Rockets except moving into the second all time block list as a rocket!

    Hmmm... most likely Deke will be introduced HOF either as a Nugget or Hawk, unless like other posters have mentioned, he won his championship as a rocket then .... who knows!

    If Deke wins a ring here I think he'll go in as a Rocket. Perhaps even without a ring he will... he seems to really enjoy being here and he's been here 3 years (god, has it really been that long). If he doesn't win a title... I guess I'd see him going in as a Nugget.

    yeah, I hope he would wear a suit to the hall of fame. a jersey would be kind of tacky.
