    It would be nice to hear "welcome" from Asik and Lin. As teammates (at least for the time being), it would be a nice gesture.

    With such a classy organization like the Rockets, I think we could do better in the fanbase department.. Whether it's at the toyota center or wherever, our fanbase could do so much better. When I went to Toyota Center last year, seats were empty across the board, I'm like I know people are late but damn it's already the 3rd quarter. So please Rednation go to the games!!!! No excuses whatsoever this upcoming season, show your support.

    He should also teach him how to shoot free throws.

    Yao Ming is a fantastic ambassador for the Rockets.

    God I miss Yao. We are so lucky to be able to call him a Rocket and to have him forever tied to our organization.

    It was mentioned early on that Yao would be at Dwight's press conference should he sign. I like this a lot and I hope we make Yao more a part of the every day activities in some way. Hopefully this also serves as Yao "knighting" Howard, China embraces him, and it's no sweat off anyone's back when/if Lin winds up elsewhere (not that I feel China cares all too much about Lin).

    Keep Yao in the fold, keep China in the fold. They love the Houston Rockets, not Lin. Here you go China, this is Dwight Howard, he loves y'all, he loves Yao, let's all makeout. Howard should wear 11 for a game.

    Somewhat true, his restaurant in downtown closed couple years ago.

    Yao has a team of his own in China. 9 of 10 people in his shoes would not even bother talk to Dwight, just look at what the Lakers brought to them- 0 legends except Kobe. You never hear Yao talk bad about the Rockets, even our #1 legend Hakeem has (Solomon article).

    Don't forget Clyde came from China.
