NBA front-office sources tell ESPN.com that Orlando is acquiring Rafer Alston from Houston to fill the void created at point guard by Jameer Nelson's shoulder injury. The Rockets will receive Memphis guard Kyle Lowry, Orlando forward Brian Cook and perhaps two other minimum-salaried players to make the finances work. The Grizzlies will receive a first-round pick from Orlando. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/...deTalkRoundup-090218 Quote

Penny Hardaway's Ghost Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 you whine about no deal, and then you whine about the specifics...times are tough, teams in need pay more... Quote
D-Guy Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 we can get another pick with our TE most likely right? if so I'm ok with this. Quote
MilitaryMagic Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 YESSSSSSSSSSSS Put it to ya straight - Rafer is worth the 25th some-odd pick in the draft. For once, a trade I'm actually excited about! Quote
hilltopper06 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Everything was peachy until I read that our pick was gone. Ughhh. We need to trade our exception and get a pick back. I am happy with the pickup of Skip. Quote
RoBo2002 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 While Lowry went to the Rockets? ........................... .......................... At least Cook is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
MilitaryMagic Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Hopefully one of those minimum salaries is NOT Gortat? Right? Quote
DontPushMe Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 thats garbage how stupid is otis smith if he prefered alston to lowry the only good thing about this trade is brian cook is gone Quote
jackhammer Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Nice, finally Otis does something. I like this trade a lot. btw, I'm new here, but I've been following these threads all day and I check in every now and then on the boards, just never posted here before Quote
MagicFan4Life Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I like this. Glad to see they recognized something had to be done after these last couples games. Quote
