I haven't been this happy since Moochie Norris got traded Ya'll all remember game 7 against the Jazz in 2007 in the last 3 minutes when Rafer passed to Mcgrady, Mcgrady passes it back to him(Mcgrady was scared by the way) and Rafer just crumbled to the floor and lost/turned over the ball. It was at this point when I knew that both those fools crumbled under pressure. As fans...we can't even have the satisfaction of seeing them shoot and miss. Them two just crumble under pressure! I DON'T KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAD OR UPSET ABOUT. UNLESS NEVER WINNING IS WHAT WE MISS...I DON'T MISS RAFER AND THE HOPE THAT HE WILL BE THE FLOOR GENERAL THAT WILL LEAD US TO THE PROMISED LAND. BROOKS WILL TAKE OVER, LOWRY IS INSURANCE. WATCH US GET OUT OF THE F#$%KING FIRST ROUND CAUSE OF THIS MOVE.
OMG .. Rafer is gone .. we played badly without him in the playoffs last season but then he is not the best PG out there. hmm .. a trade looming since we get another PF ..
I can't believe how much Rafer is being overvalued right now. Brooks in the starting lineup will make our offense so much better it's not even funny. And those that say that now we have noone to guard Williams or Paul, guess what. Even with Rafer WE NEVER HAD ANYONE THAT COULD GUARD THOSE GUYS EITHER. Lowry will prove to be a decent player. He is athletic and can penetrate unlike Rafer. But... think about this. If Lowry is being brought in as the PG of the future, that might make Brooks expendable in the near future. And there are a lot of teams that think very highly of him.
Don't forget, we are talking a 10 year! age difference! I'm willing to at least see what the rest of this season has in store with Lowry. Adelman's system can be a little daunting for a young, inexperienced PG like him, but potential nonetheless
Ok, we need to change the title to this thread. It appears that we will NOT be getting Cook, thank goodness! So we get a young version of Rafer and save a couple of $$$ Mill for the off-season.
For all of you still waiting for a trade ESPN is still reporting deals since they just broke Sefolosha traded to OKC for a 1st rounder.
I think this is a great trade for Houston because Brian Cook can shoot the 3 and compliment Yao. Lowry provide us with some defense and he is young and can actually shoot.
Guys, stop with it. This trade won't happen unless we get an starting PG like Baron Davis. And then we would be talking about him, not Lowry. But stop comparing Alston with Lowry. Alston is better in everything. Alston is an starting PG of a very good team, while Lowry is a PG of a loser team, a player with terrible IQ and terrible decision making. Even worst shooting than Rafer. I know him because here in Spain I've watched A LOT Grizzlies games (Gasol's brothers). Lowry is a joke of PG. Alston only has the defect of the shooting %, but farther he's a VERY SOLID point guard. Morey wouldn't do that.
thabo sefolosha just went to OKC for a late first rounder... will solomon goes to kings from raptors for a 2nd round pick and cash Mikki Moore will be bought out by Sacramento
Where's Clutch? I'd like to know if this is all that he was referring to, or just one of the TWO trades he mentioned. Also I'd like to know his opinion of this trade, given that he's never a fan of Rafer...
