Hope YOu Rafer Haters Are Happy

WE ARE HAPPY. DONT GET IT TWISTED!

that was a haarrrrd $5M contract to get rid of.

even then it took a team that was desperate with an injured all star at that position....

 

as a rafer hater, i am happy he is gone.

as a rockets fan, im disgusted at the trade.

 

I hope a B. davis trade is coming, is there any chance?

 

Yep, we'll see how it works out.

 

Not a hater, but I'm ecstatic. Tired of yelling No at the TV everytime Rafer shot the ball.

 

Not much of a chance.

 

what would they want? for him , we are overloaded at PF....

 

i hoped so too, but its been reported its not happening

 

Ohh, Brooks is more than ready...

Granted a four game sample might not be big enough, but I have confidence in AB.

Welcome to fantasy team relevance Brooks

 

EXSTATIC!!!

Woooo hoooooo!!!!

I hope eveyone here has a good excu.. I mean exlanation for saying that this team is done without.........

RAFER????

 

I'm stoked Skip is gone. He is horrible, and Orlando will soon find out how horrible he is.

 

I'm not happy, but I am not a Rafer Hater, in my opinion he is the 2nd most valuable player on this team. If Yao or Rafer show up in a game offensively, then the Rockets have a great chance of winning now that he's gone, who do we have that's valuable outside of Yao on offense? I can't think of any, maybe Artest. But Even when Artest is shooting like garbage the Rockets are still as capable as any other team at winning.

This is not a good trade, We can only hope his physical fails like Chandler.

 

I'm happy.

 

You can do that when KYLE FREAKING LOWRY shoots the ball now.

 

I'm extremely happy about the trade. This team is in no position to win it all with or without Rafer. His departure allows the team to continue on their stealthy rebuilding process. They will still have a ton of money come off the books in the next two years, and they now have a very YOUNG group of players around Yao.

Lowry, Brooks, Landry, Wafer... all under 25 or under. Cook and Scola are both 28. This team is ONE star away from being an elite contender again. They have quality role players surrounding Yao; they just need one more player to step it up.

Great move. It makes sense from a basketball perspective once you realize that, without McGrady, this team can't compete with LA in a 7 game series
.
And I like Rafer Alston.

 

you really think rafer is the reason whether or not we will have a winning record?

Without Yao last year we had a winning record, without tmac this year we have a winning record, but without Alston, we will all of a sudden suck? I doubt it

 

or drives to the basket...and gets to the freethrow line. call me when rafer gets to the line more than 4 times in a game.

Lowry doesnt even shoot threes as regularly as alston does

 

happy is an understatement.. my best day in many years.
