    Dude, don't freak out until tonight. We don't even know what else Morey did yet.

    Not played well? You dislike double digit assists along with ZERO turnover games?

    Frankly I like them.

    So why not just bench Rafer and let Brooks start? Cook is a scrub anyway.

    and yall call tmac a drama queen? give me a friggin break, grow up and stop whining, this trade did not ruin our season, even if nothing else is going to be done we are not a worse team without rafer, we are probably exactly the same, except the fact that we have to now incorporate lowry and give him time to learn the system

    Wow, a lot of Reefer supporters. I believe in Brooks.

    You can see how your whole season can turn out in few days.

    Now we can doubt the playoffs even...

    I really don't get this trade, I hoped for some good trade not this crap.

    Practically Orlando got rid of bench warmer and got a pg starter, nice job.

    We gave our starting pg for 2 scrubs!

    This team can now definitely say goodbye to the playoff run.

    Not to say that Rafer Alston was a very good friend of Ron Artest. Both NY born...

    this is ridiculous, I really don't understand this trade. No mcgrady results in alston playing better. So why trade alston when mcgrady is done for the year.

    YOU GUYS ARE JOKING RIGHT?!?!

    How are ya'll on Rafer's di** so hard?

    HE SUCKS!!!

    Face it. He is a back up point gaurd that got lucky here with a starting job. Good riddens it's time for the future to take this team over.

    We got a good young PG like everyone wanted also, trust me we needed it. :D

    If this deal goes through it is a really dumb move for the Rockets... they literally got NOTHING for this and made the Magic that much better... dumb move!

    I think Rafer and Brooks would have been enough to go deep into the playoffs.

    Now I'm not so sure.

    This is exciting. I don't know that Alston is better than Lowry. I haven't seen Lowry much, but he takes a lot of charges, scouting says he plays D. I don't know if he can become a shooter, but I know Alston can't. I like Alston in interviews, but not, I'm delighted by this.
