Houston, Memphis, Orlando Deal

[sheed]

From ESPN.com

Looks like we have a fairly significant three-way deal that has been submitted to the league just before the trade deadline.

NBA front-office sources tell ESPN.com that Orlando is acquiring Rafer Alston from Houston to fill the void created at point guard by Jameer Nelson's shoulder injury.

The Rockets will receive Memphis guard Kyle Lowry, Orlando forward Brian Cook and perhaps two other minimum-salaried players to make the finances work.

The Grizzlies will receive a first-round pick from Orlando.

The Memphis Grizzlies acquired from the Orlando Magic their 2009 unprotected first round draft pick, guard Mike Wilks, center Adonal Foyle and cash considerations and sent guard Kyle Lowry to the Houston Rockets as part of a three-team trade, Grizzlies General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced today. As part of the trade, Orlando will receive guard Rafer Alston from Houston in exchange for forward Brian Cook. “It was difficult to part with Kyle Lowry,” Wallace said. “He has been an important part of our team the last three seasons. With the emergence of Mike Conley, we decided that the acquisition of Orlando’s unprotected first round pick was a good move to make. We now will enter the upcoming draft with two first round selections and three picks overall, likely inside the first 37 picks.”
