Marc Stein: Looks like we have a fairly significant three-way deal that has been submitted to the league just before the trade deadline.

 

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.

you whine about no deal, and then you whine about the specifics...times are tough, teams in need pay more...

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!

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.
