The Toronto Raptors traded temperamental point guard Rafer Alston to the Houston Rockets in exchange for guard Mike James on Tuesday.
Alston, 29, was involved in several controversies last season. He threatened to quit the team and the NBA after a Dec. 3 game in Boston and was suspended by the Raptors for two games for conduct detrimental to the club after he walked out during a practice.

Damn, what a steal for Houston. Now they boast one of the best starting 5 in the league. They're serious contenders to compete with SAS for the top of the Southwest division.
