the magic get rafer alston from the rockets, the rockets get brian cook from the magic and kyle lowry from the grizzlies, and the grizzlies get a 1st round pick from the magic.
as a rockets fan, i don't really like this. we already have hayes, scola, and landry at PF, and cook is averaging a stellar 3 ppg this year. lowry is interesting, but will he compete for starting PG? alston had 13 and 11 assists in his last 2 games. i don't know if brooks or lowry can do much better, although brooks has shown flashes. i guess alston's 4.9M salary was a factor.
grizz fans, what do you think?
