    Orlando will be in for quite a surprise when Rafer throws in a string of 1-7, 2-9 games.

    Anyone else find it funny that the majority of this board thinks our season is done because we traded Rafer fricken Alston. This team continued its winning ways last year when we lost Yao, the player our entire offense is built around, and people are worried because we lost Rafer? This team overcame the lost of Yao, I'm pretty sure theyll be fine without Rafer.

    i just wish this playground legend a good luck.
    after all, he WAS an icon of streetball.

    it will be kind of special to see him succeed.

    i'm happy for rafer. i know he's going to succeed in orlando under his old coach and with so much talent around him. there's one thing that was under utilized when Rafer was in Houston, that was the lob pass. Rafer is going to be throwing 5 lobs a game to Dwight Howard. he's the veteran tempo setter the magic lack.

    Who gives a **** if Rafer does well in Orlando? All I care about is how Houston does.

    Alston is a player I truly respect, he is very motivated to win a game, totally different from t-mac's no-heart-game, this a good move for him, a player like him deserves to play in a better team and move further in th Playoff. I'm so disappointed with Rockets. Good luck Rafer! and go to hell Rockets! :mad:

    To be frank, Rafer seems to fit perfectly in Orlando with a dominant rebounder (DHow) to clean up his bricks and two good shooters with size (Lewis and Turkeyglue) to receive his passes. But they can never get to the finals with the current lineup as long as Lebron is still in Cleveland and Boston still has its genuine BIG 3.

    Apparently he is very happy for the trade, so are SVG and Magic.

    And we are happy too

    who said we were happy? 75% of this board thought it was a bad trade.

    He is the most inconsistent player? I'm guessing you've never heard of Lamar Odom.

    That deafening sound you hear is everyone rushing to find a writing utensil to mark your words. Or crickets.
