I hope your right. I remember before the season started rumors that the magic might go after Kyle Lowry from the Grizzlies. If I remember correctly, the Grizzlies had like 4 point guards on the roster at the start of the season. Kyle was regarded as an up and comming talent. I was hoping the Magic would trade for him. But it never happened. I dont know much about Rafer Alston. But I sure as heck remember Steve Frances!
I understand Rafer has a good assist ratio lately. That will come in handy. I am sure the Magic are making a push for a championship this year. I understand Nelson might NOT be out for the season! Thank goodness for that!! It will be good to see him in the playoffs (is that jumping the gun?).
What about Penny coming out of retirement LOL? I was also hoping Darrell Armstrong would quit that assistant job at Dallas and join the Magic again. He would be an incredible replacement for Nelson!!! Yep he's 40 but I like livin in the past.
But honestly, I dont think JJ is as good as a LOT of people believe. In college, he was "the man" when Duke was up, but lost in the game when Duke was behind. I question his mental toughness. Make no mistake, hes a better basketball player than I will ever be, but not an All Star and honestly not as good as more than 75% of the league. So I dont blame Stan for not playing him as much. I would guess he is consistantly on the trading block with no takers. Sucks to be him. But isnt the starting salary like $250,000 a year? Sucks to be me.
Courtney is getting plenty of well deserved playing time for a rookie!
Anyway, I get the trade of Brian Cook.... and I would say yes to trading JJ too. But a 2009 rookie.... I wish I knew how Alston plays. I was thinking 2010 championship not 2009! Hope I'm wrong!!!!
