Guys, I don't know how true this is but there are rumors circulating on the Toronto Raptors message boards that the Rockets have traded Mike James to Toronto for Rafer Alston. Please don't kill me, like I said, it's a rumor. Can anyone confirm?

Skip to the Rockets


Rafer Alston fell out of favour in Toronto after a well-documented feud with ehad coach Sam Mitchell.

Sportsnet.ca -- Looks like Rafer's madness earned him a trade to the Houston Rockets.

The Toronto Raptors traded guard Rafer Alston and his $3.85 million salary in 2005/06 to the Houston Rockets for fellow guard Mike James.

Raptors ship Alston to Rockets for James

Rafer Alston

TSN.ca/CP

10/4/2005 11:53:45 AM

The Toronto Raptors have traded troubled point guard Rafer Alston to the Houston Rockets for point guard Mike James.

Alston, who signed a six-year deal with the Raptors before last season, was involved in several controversies last season. He threatened to quit the team and the NBA after a Dec. 3 game in Boston and was suspended by the Raptors for two games for conduct detrimental to the club after he walked out during a practice.

Alston averaged 14.2 points and 6.4 assists in 34 minutes per game last year.

The defensive-minded James has just two years remaining on his contract. Though not as electric on the court as Alston, James has some scoring punch and was a big part of the Rockets playoff push last year.

James averaged 12.4 points and 2.9 assists in 25.6 minutes per game with the Rockets last year after being acquired from Milwaukee Bucks. He also shot a solid 39.3% from three-point range.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Skip, but man I was hoping James would stay. I guess Barry and Wesley pushed him out. I had heard first hand that they didnt get along.

I know huh? Hopefully a change of scenery to a winning organization will help Rafer.

He's more of a distributer of the ball than James, and I think that's what the Rockets were looking for with Sura out.

Well the good thing is Alston's DEFINITELY a starter.

Juwan Howard & Derek Anderson both provide a spark off the bench.

Overall, I like it.

Does this mean that he's gonna start for us? Is Sura still recovering?

i like skip alot, he's one of the most underrated PG's in the league...but i would like to see mike james with us for a full season coming off the bench and providing instant energy and athleticism...still don't know whether or not to trust this rumor...probably false.
