Re: Trade: Rafer Alston to Magic, Kyle Lowry to Rockets, more
I've come around a bit on the trade, we had to make the move to Brooks at some point. But I'm still convinced this makes us worse in the short term, and I really, really want this team to f'ing get out the 1st round already. As good as Brooks played on offense, both he and Lowry got roasted by Barea. He was red hot, but Rafer wouldn't have given up 26. We also saw how TO-happy the team's going to be.

OT: Anyone know when Landry's going to be back?
They called a horrible offensive foul on Lowry when he made a great play toward the top of the key. Remember that?

Yes. I was pretty impressed with his aggressiveness taking it to the basket, not so much his forced passes. He looks like he can be a good backup though.

I'd say Lowry is quite a bit better around the rim than Alston and Brooks.

rockets love trading away valuable pieces of our team for lesser value just like last year when morey traded bonzi wells, and all we got was old ass bobby jackson in return. at least we got some youth, and another player that can drive to the basket, and draw fouls this time in this trade
