Re: Alston to the Magic.
Hmmm, am I crazy, or is Houston giving up Rafer a bad move?

Re: Alston to the Magic.
1. Brian Cook is still in the NBA?
2. Why is Houston doing this? Financial reasons? Unsure if Kyle is a cap expirer.

Re: Alston to the Magic.
I've heard many Rockets fans say they don't like Rafer. Haven't watched to much of Lowry but I know Brian Cook is bum sauce

Re: Alston to the Magic.
How do you know if Rafer played?
Look at the boxscore without looking at the names and...go down the list until you see something like...FG: 1-13, 2-10, 1-7, 2-9
Aaron Brooks deserve to start over him but this deal didn't help the Rockets

Right? I thought he vanished into a black hole, years ago.

Re: Alston to the Magic.
Uh.................can't really decide on this deal. It may be surprising to people, but I say this deal would make or break the Rockets for the playoffs. Why? Alston has been key in the past few victories, and in fact he's been a nice assest to the Rocs all season. If Lowry and Brooks fail to match that, then the Rockets would have effectively nobody at the point, which is why I think this will make or break the Rockets.

Re: Possible 3-team deal: Alston to Magic, Lowry to Rockets, others
Is it just me, or this deal helps no one but Orlando?

Re: Alston to the Magic.
That 1st round draft pick is going to be a late pick. After what I saw last night, Orlando needs help at the PG position

I have no idea why this trade was made. I don't think Brooks is ready for full time PG duties. I'm hoping there is another deal in the works. WEAK, if you ask me. Alston is no all-star but he runs the team better than Brooks.

No one runs the team better on the floor then Skip... Brooks is a scoring point guard. Lowry is
Please do not let Luther handle the rock, that's a turnover waiting to happen
