Here's some stats I dug up on both Alston and James from last season.
I'm not a big fan of stats telling the whole story, but it appears the
two players are quite similar in talent.
Mike James 2004-05
- Has scored 20+ points in 11 games
- Has started 5 games
- Has won 20 matchups against PGs (minumum 25 minutes to qualify)
- Has lost 18 matchups against PGs
- Has won 6 matchups against top 10 Point-Guards
- Has lost 8 matchup against top 10 Point-Guards
Rafer Alston 2004-05
- Has scored 20+ points in 13 games
- Has started 78 games
- Has won 33 matchups against PGs (minumum 25 minutes to qualify)
- Has lost 36 matchups against PGs
- Has won 4 matchups against top 10 Point-Guards
- Has lost 19 matchups against top 10 Point-Guards
Mike James team has beaten Rafer Alstons team the last 8 times the two
players have faced each other. This covers James time with the Bucks,
Pistons, Celtics, and Heat and covers Alstons time with the Raptors,
Heat, and Raptors again.
The Raps traded problem child Rafer Alston to the Houston Rockets for eratic but less volatile Mike James on the first day of training camp. Weird timing since...
I think there are several positives about this trade: 1. I removes the chemistry issue. 2. I think the raptor management is high on Caledron and this probably ...

The stats comparing Alston and James really do not say anything towards how this deal should be compared. Rafer Alston is a better talent then James, But James...
Here's a better stat comparison. Two seasons ago (2003-04) Rafer played 82 games for the Heat at 31.5 minutes per game. That same season James played 55 games...
I really think comparing any stats from this trade is a waste of time. This deal was not based on talent for talent by either team, The Rockets needed another...
The money is huge for sure, but I truly hope James plays effectively. Not only because the Raps need more than one player to fill all those PG minutes, but in...

I love it when fans who do not have an understanding of the business of sports speak out. This trade is more then just talent for talent, Read some reports and...
Well another dissapointing loss to the Celtics lastnight. I think we should have won it easily but its only pre-season so im not to upset. Jose Calderon had 6...

The Rafer Alston contract looked great for the Raptors when Vince Carter was here, When Vince was traded we started to look to the future. The future did not...
Actually I don't care now that Alstons contract was maybe a little long. It was an asset gained and then flipped for another asset. Originally the Raps had...

Thats too bad about your pool Kirkdog. Hope you found a public one to enter. You're just a few years too late for me. I'm freaking pooled out. Too many pools...
I dont understand why there are so many Raptor haters, I like are team much better then a few NBA teams. The Knicks are a complete disgrace, The warriors have...
Its media driven. Toronto has lousy basketball writers. Few have any real insight into anything other than what just happened moments ago, so they take the...
