Should Orlando Trade Rafer Alston?

Via SLAM Online  |  June 16, 2009
For the sake of team unity (to say nothing of SVG’s confusing rotation), Skip might have to leave town: “The Magic’s first order of business during this all-important offseason must be to do whatever is necessary to get rid of point guard Rafer Alston. You heard me. ‘Skip to My Lou’ must skip outta town if the Magic are to move forward with Jameer Nelson...

Thanks for the help Rafer Alston, now get out of here

Via Lakers Blog  |  June 15, 2009
Yes, the Magic probably wouldn't have made the Finals without him. But with Jameer Nelson back, Alston would just be a distraction next season. Once the Orlando Magic players clear their heads of the hellacious hangover that comes with getting bounced from the NBA Finals, the common...

PG Rafer Alston must be let go if Magic want team unity

Via Orlando Sentinel  |  June 15, 2009
Once the Magic clear their heads of the hellacious hangover that comes with getting bounced from the NBA Finals, the common thought is that their No. 1 priority must be to do whatever is necessary to keep free agent Hedo Turkoglu.

Time to trade Rafer Alston

Via Dime  |  June 16, 2009
Even if the Magic had won the 2009 NBA championship, there was always the looming decision of what to do about the point guard position. While Jameer Nelson had a breakout first half of ‘08-09 and earned his first All-Star berth, Rafer Alston kept the team afloat after coming over in a midseason trade and [...]

Alston brushes off controversy at point guard

Via Orlando Sentinel  |  June 14, 2009
With all the uncertainty that's crept into the Orlando Magic point-guard rotation in these NBA Finals, Rafer Alston could have felt tempted to look over his shoulder during Game 5 on Sunday night.

NYT: Breen and Jackson Coddled a Nervous and Sad Jeff Van Gundy in the Finals

Via The Big Lead  |  June 16, 2009
This is what you get when one analyst has a brother coaching on the losing team in the NBA Finals: No mention (to our recollection) of Rafer Alston sitting out almost all of the fourth quarter in the pivotal game four. No mention about why his brother didn’t implore his players to foul up three [...]

AND It Don’t Stop

Via SLAM Online  |  June 16, 2009
by J. Gamble Troy “Escalade” Jackson has had one heck of a year. His brother Mark announced the NBA Playoffs. One of his best friends, Orlando point guard Rafer Alston, made it to the NBA finals and balled-out. Another good friend, Lakers forward Lamar Odom, won it all. And the AND 1 Streetball brand that the big man helped make legendary, is going international with...

No More “Stupidness” in Game 5

Via Howard the Dunk  |  June 14, 2009
There are so many questions the Magic and their fans have been asking since the conclusion of game 4. Why was Jameer Nelson in? Where was Rafer Alston? Why, after showing some much improvement was Howard so awful from the line? How does Turk miss 4 of 7 free throws? How do you let [...]

Should he stay, or should he go?

Via Howard the Dunk  |  June 17, 2009
There seems to be a lot of unhappy Magic fans directing their anger at, head coach, Stan Van Gundy.  Style Points has a blog, humorously, suggesting other jobs for him, after the finals loss against the Lakers. Van Gundy was heavily criticized during the finals for giving, a rusty, Jameer Nelson playing time over Rafer Alston [...]
