    I guess Alston could be the locker room CANCER. The organization simply wanted him out.

    If he got the same minutes as Rafer, his averages would be way higher.

    I guess this was the big trade that everyone was sweating over. So, we only gave up Rafer? No draft picks or cash considerations given away? Then, that is a good trade!

    If that is true, then this trade (if not followed by another) is a real chicken scratcher. :confused:

    This is basically Morey throwing in the towel knowing that we can't win the West and trying to build for the future.

    Rafer Alston is our starting point guard, and we didn't get an established point guard in return. If we had, this might be a different story. What happens if Brooks goes down? We start Barry??

    We had some good times and some frustrating times, but I'm going to miss you, Rafer. Good memories. This one actually hurts.

    Never forget how much loathing you have for the Jazz.

    His 24.6% 3pt% won't change.

    No, I'm not sure but that's what one site has as the numbers.

    This is Cook's 6th season so I doubt he's on a rookie contract.

    maybe they throw in Cook on another deal (NJ) because there is no good reason to spend 3.5 mil on this guy. that is the only viable option I see on him.

    Orlando will get a huge surprise when Skip starts clunking tear drops all night. He will throw some nice lobs to Dwight howard though.

    It is T-Mac's fault in all this. I'm willing to bet there was a big trade coming before T-mac decided to be a little ____ and state about his knee crap yesterday.
