    Cook has a player option for next season which he definately will pick up.

    what the hell is everyone talking about? a few months ago like 90% of the board was willing to ship Rafer out for a bag of peanuts. The year before most of you were willing to pay someone to take him off our hands. When did everyone fall head over heals for Rafer?

    I like him a lot for his passion, but come on guys... dont let his play from the last few games blind you.

    How was this good regards to salaray. Both COok's Lowery are signed until 2010, and their salaries equal 4,900,000, the same as alston's. And he was signed until the 2010 season too. I dont kno the ++ of this trade, but i am kinda ify about it tho. But i keep smilin wen i think.. KYLE LOWERY is the guy that dropped the triple double on us,and tipped in the game winning shot not to LONG aGO!

    That's because it's not about people suddenly loving Rafer. It's about people realizing how craptastic this trade is.

    Another myth busted.

    In the long run it is GOOD.

    In the short run, too? Can Brooks/Lowry take a TMac-less team further than a Rafer-led team?

    Or is this a sign that the Rox will reload, once again, this summer for next year's Fairy Tale ride on the Parade-Express?

    See, that's the thing. If the team were to tank starting now, they wouldn't be very high on the lottery ladder as the Minnesotas and Golden States of the Conference have had a head start for most of the season.

    The Rockets have a pretty good record and have enough talent to still make a deep run. It doesn't make any sense to mortgage away this season...

    According to hoopshype, Cook has a player option next year. You think he will opt out?
