Now that the season is over, should we trade rafer?

Keep him. It's apparent how valuable his is to our team so why try changing out parts? Unless you can insure me that we can get Chris Paul or Steve Nash, no deal.

 

The guy's streaky at best. He's not getting any younger.

On the other hand chemistry wise I think he gets along well with the Rockets. I'd still try to upgrade the point guard spot though.

 

I just want a PG that can shoot above 42%...

 

What about Mike James? Is he available??

 

I always took up for Rafer, sure he's not an elite PG like CP3 or Deron Williams but he is very valuable to this team. We shouldn't trade him unless we are getting a 3rd scorer in return. I know one thing if he's traded we better find another dependable PG or it won't matter. B-Jax better not be the starting PG next year.

 

Rafer is a Keeper even if we get a star pg.

 

The only way I trade Rafer is if we can include him in a package deal to get a younger and better point guard. It's easy to like him when he's shooting well and hate him when he's not, but Rafer's value to the team was on display all season -- from the early days of training camp when everyone expected him to be brushed aside in favor of Mike James and Steve Francis, to the end of the playoffs, when the Rockets suffered a second half collapse without him.
I say, unless we can get our point guard of the future, Rafer has to be back.

 

My only question is for whom? First, who will trade you back a better PG for Rafer unless we give up some other really good pieces?

Secondly, Brooks is not ready to start and hasn't show the composure for major minutes yet. B-Jax has repeatedly shown he is only good as a 6th/7th man and no more. So, you would have to trade for a good PG who WILL be able to start and play well and lead the team as well as Rafer has.

If anything trading Rafer would be High Risk, High reward, which would not be something Morey would do.

 

Another ballhog don't think so! Take your next pick, this time you might get an A+. Seriously, James is not this team needs.

 

his value will be as high as it will ever be.

lets let brooks play major minutes next year, either start or come off the bench depending upon what we can get through trade or free agency.

rafer would be awesome to trade especially if steve francis is back next year. (a talented sf3)

 

I honestly feel that DJ Augustin has a very.. very good chance of being a steve nash/chris paul type of impact player. the guy has heart and a mind

 

absolutely not.


you guys saw what happened when he left the game, he brings so much more than this fg % tells. we need rafer to succeed and when yao comes back, he will only get better. all we need is a pure shooter who can play defense and a more reliable back up pg.

 

If we could get better playmaker, maybe more consistant shooter, than I'd do that.

But Rafer played really well in this year's playoffs

 

yeah we saw what happened when he was our only option......

get rid of him, get rid of head, get rid of bjax.....find someway to grab calderon or even monte ellis...this core is NOT working.

 

Rafer sucks, but we are not very good without him.

 

Let Bobby Jackson run point guard. He has good playoff experience, and he obviously doesn't get discouraged by pesky poor shooting performances.

 

Steve Francis...fully healthy with his mind right...could be a great thing. Sorta like a Grant Hill in Phoenix type of situation.

I'm still depressed after the loss.

 

Trade him to upgrade. No doubt about it.

 

Great. Now how do we crack into the top 10 spots of the draft to snatch him up? He wouldn't solve any of our problems... Keep Rafer.
