why laugh at orlando? they had no chance with anthony running the point and they have 2 quality point guards when nelson comes back next year. Or they can trade Alston.

orlando obv won this one

Wow we needed that. With Nelson being out we were about to go straight down hill. it was obvious that Nelson being gone was a big part of our losing. We don't have anyone to replace him right now with the point scoring calibur he has. great move for the Magic

As a lifelong Rockets' fan, I can say with a relative degree of certainty that Orlando pulled the short straw in this trade. Rafer is perhaps the most inconsistent starter in the history of the NBA. Maybe the Magic are looking for a quick fix; if so, good luck; if not, they made a major bonehead trade.

Daryl Morey has historically been on the right side of every trade he has orchestrated and I have to believe that is the case here as well.

Rockets are going back to the lottery after this year
