LOL nobody wants this scrub. He is just getting passed around as soon as a team has someone better Rafer is gone. Total scrub. Worst player in Rocket history IMO.

Rafer knows he will always be trade bait.. the great thing about his character is he never lets that get him down and works hard everywhere he goes..

no VC for us.. it always seems everyone is always active in the off season and we just turn down offers

The Brooklyn Nets are locked and geared for the LeBron sweepstakes in 2010.

PG - Devin Harris
SG - Courtney Lee
SF -
PF -
C - Brook Lopez

With their cap at less than $20m in the 2010 offseason, they can easily sign 2 max players.

Yea I like what they are doing. And something tells me if the Nets lock down that move to Brooklyn that LeBron will go there. That would be one hell of a team. Not sure Frank is the right coach for it though.

C'mon, we all know LeBron will sign with the Clippers.

Look at how high Rafer's trade value is. Traded for VC. He is the only rotation player from the Tmac Rocket Era to have made the final. Best Rocket in history IMO.

ha. you guys are funny. best and worst rocket. as a magic fan, rafer frustrated me a lot even though he got us to the finals. i'm happy to see him go.

I think you would've won if Jameer was limited to the minutes of a backup PG.

rafer help you guys beat the cavs

I'm not surprised at all. Rafer seems unable to accept the role of back-up PG, even though he's a borderline starter as is.

Devin Harris
Courtney Lee
Lebron James
Yi JianLian
Brook Lopez

Not bad

Jeez, Chinese fans just cheered no more Rafer horrible 3s shooting in Yao's team. Now, he joined Yi's team. There is no ending, isn't it. Holy Crap!

really? I dont think jameer did horrible enough to be the reason why we lost the finals. but i agree he wasn't 100% and shouldn't have been playing. after he played a few min i could tell he wasn't the jameer pre-injury.

rafer did help us beat the cavs if shooting like 35% is helpful. i would much rather him pass to hedo, rashard, or dwight then take a shot..there is a reason why every team leaves him open. his passing and defense isn't that great.

cmon yall, rafers a baller. just not a good shooter, specially in our system.

a backup pg, rafer is perfect. w/ kobe at sg, or jordan/magic/bird/healthy tmac/etc...rafer is good for pg, not best, not perfect, just good.

stls/asts are pg duties, and he does it well.

but im **** glad he is not on this team anymore. no offense but those missed shots took a terrible toll on me

T-Will to the Nets. This team is looking better and better on paper.

With VC going to Magaic, will Magic resign Hedo? If yes, that is going a very scary team..

J.Nelson
V. Carter
Hedo
R.Lewis
D. Howard

Damn....just look so good on paper

Edit: VC is the closer for the magic and they need one badly. Even if Hedo is not resigned, Pietrus at SF is not bad too. The only weakness will be their bench.

I think Magic traded for Carter because they know they aren't going to be able to meet Hedo's demand. I don't think they'll resign Hedo. After the defeat against Lakers, they know exactly what they need to do. Move Lewis to SF and get a PF.

Don't hate on rafer. He helped the Magic without jameer nelson to the Finals.. He played pretty well too up until the lakers when they snuck in Jameer in the lineup.
