Is Morey willing to trade Rafer?

I know you guys aren't the biggest fans of Rafer Alston, but would Morey be willing to trade him at the deadline. As a Pistons and Rockets fan, I realize that a trade between these teams could be mutually beneficial. The Pistons would receive Rafer, filling a big hole at backup PG, currently filled by Will Bynum. In return, you would receive Kwame Brown, who is essentially filler, and Arron Afflalo, who is locked out of playing time because Rip Hamilton was moved to the bench. He plays good defense and could fill in at the 1, 2, or 3 if needed. Plus, this would allow Aaron Brooks to start at PG. Kwame's contract is a bit large (4 mil) but it expires after this year. What do you think?

I think that this makes the Rockets much worse

While I like Afflalo, why would the Rockets want another SG? And we already have 3 PFs and Kwame can’t really play center.

What benefit does this give the Rockets?

Well

I tried. Kwame has the size to be a center. We could give up Maxiell

trade rafer and head

but i think we need to trade him for a pick, expiring contract, and young backup C (AKA Maxiell)

1st rounder (considering itd be a late one), Big Contract, Maxiell for rafer and head…

no go

This trade helps neither team.

Dumars and Boy Genius Morey are too smart to do a dead-end trade like this.
