    Well we were sellers instead of buyers.

    They just gave up on our season. At least they didn't give up our future.

    Artest is gone next season. So was Alston "Horace Grant"-ed?

    You gotta be kidding me. As bad as Rafer was in shooting, he has been such a great facilitator on offense. Wow....Orlando just got a whole lot better. I really don't understand this. I'm praying Morey has more up his sleeve because this has gotta be the dumbest decision if there isn't anything else.

    Do not like this trade.

    Even though, I complain about Rafer but he has been good running our offense.

    He is going to a better team, WTF.

    I remember back when he broke his leg and we were without him before.

    We sucked.

    There has to be something else tied to this trade. We are overloaded at PF now. I'm thinking B Davis.

    LOL - good call.

    I have an extremely hard time believing the front office gave up on the year. And if financial....Rafer only has one more year left at $5M. Cook + Lowry make more money next year.

    No sense at all.

    Unless something else is in the works.

    You my friend have no idea what you're talking about. Rafer Alston is not a creator, not even close. He can dribble the heck out of the ball and that's about it. Aaron will do better and from what I understand Kyle Lowry is not horrible.

    Excuse me, look at who is in return?

    I don't think Brooks can do better than Alston for this year on PG.

    Well, if there is another trade in the works, I hope they send Brian Cook instead of Landry as part of the package. I'd hate to lose landry and Alston....dang it

    I can not understand this deal, unless another deal is on its way.

    I agree. Rafer hasn't played well since we traded for him all those years ago. Brooks is ready to be our starting point if that is going to be the case, which I really hope it is. Lowry's shooting percentages are horrible though, heh.

    I am hoping that is the case, like when we drafted Bogut from Europe.

    But i think the rest of the deal would be out by now.



    Worst trade ever. Now we are back to one freaking point guard with no backup. Great move idiots!

    Well at least I won't feel compelled to buy rockets tickets.
