    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">On the night the Rockets paid tribute to retiring general manager Carroll Dawson for his 27 years with the team, center Yao Ming might have offered the sort of praise any general would like to hear.

    "Nothing can be better than to have a good team," Yao said. "That's very important for a player's career. He gave me that. He built a good team for me. In the five years already, I feel very comfortable. We have a very good future, all because of him.

    "(Meeting) he and (former coach) Rudy (Tomjanovich) is the first memory for me in Houston. That he will retire is really sad."</div>

    I've alwayz respected CD. He's been here thru the thick and thin. Thru the championship years and post Hakeem. Wish we could've saw more of that halftime tribute.

    funny thing is no one could even hear what CD was saying at halftime (lol), but I appreciate everything CD has done for the rockets...he had some mishaps (Rashard Lewis, Matt Maloney) like any other GM, but for the most part I'd say he did a really good job in our front office....thanx CD!
