Nets buy out Rafer Alston

Heat the frontrunner to sign him:

good pickup for Heat if they do it.

He was a Heat before. Go somewhere new, like PHX. Nash needs a replacement and I don't trust Dragic as a reliable backup. Alston can shoot the 3 and is a good ball handler and distributor. He can also defend. Perfect fit with PHX.

He'll see more PT in Miami Tony. Makes good sense for both sides to me. He will probably end up being the starter come playoff time, if he isn't right off the bat.

Yea theyd be soo much better, I mean Arroyo is a scrub.

Yah, idk why they start him :r

Agreed Mario Chalmers is good it's not like Indiana who can afford to bench T.J. Ford for Earl Watson. Cause Earl Watson has proved to be a reliable backup in his career, but Arroyo really does suck he shouldn't start over Chalmers. Getting Alston back in Miami makes sense for them I see him as the starter for the season and the playoffs and he will be a good mentor for Chalmers and Arroyo should be regulated to what he deserves 11 minutes a night. However, I don't want to go back hating on Alston, like I did when he was in MIA with Wade, Odom, Eddie Jones, Caron Butler, Udonis Haslem, and Rasual Butler years back. I 've grown accustomed to liking Alston and I like PHX and I think he makes sense there. I would like him still if he went there.

Please Heat sign Rafer so that I will not have to see Arroyo start in another Heat game in the future. That guy is a horrible decision maker...

No sign with the Suns so I can remain liking you. JO is different I like him even in MIA cause my liking for him was always high. I always liked Altson, but it's not a liking that is strong enough that can stand the tests of becoming a Heat once more. Therefore, yeah Alston to PHX.

Come on this is why you traded Alando Tucker for Jason Hart and then waive Hart as a salary dump in the 1st place. Alston makes sense get it done.

Alston don't make sense at all for the Suns, lol.

Have all star PG in Nash, then two others who can play the position in Dragic and Barbosa. Neither is great, but either way he'd still be behind Nash. He gets a chance to start on a playoff caliber team in Miami. Just dumb of him to go anywhere else.

I've never seen Barbosa at the point he's exclusively used at the 2. I would know I like Barbosa and always hoped NY would trade Nate for Barbosa. Until Barbosa got that 5 year deal then I was like fuck it. And Dragic plain and simple sucks.
