Magic point guard Rafer Alston, subbing for injured starter Jameer Nelson since a February trade, would like nothing more than to sign an extension with the Magic.
Alston told the Sentinel on Thursday that he wants to remain with the organization after his contract expires next season.
Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel has the scoop.

I think he has done a good job getting us to this point.
But he has certain tendencies that need to be managed.

If he'd be happy with a bench role...
Seriously, if we had a bench of Alston, Gortat, Pietrus, Redick, and Battie… that lineup could hold their own against half the teams in the league even if they were all on the court at the same time and all the starters were out. Of course, with the Turkoglu and Gortat free agencies, thats not a likely scenario.
.. all indications, and the people I've spoken to, cite that Alston would be happy with a bench role.

signing turkoglu
should take precedence over keeping rafer. though our depth at the point would be disgusting
Nah' mean, nah'm sayin
.. well, this wouldn't occur until next season.

You gotta do better than 1-7 from 3 if you want that extension. Okay?

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Think he'd accept A.J.'s deal?
Slightly more than the veterans’ minimum, somewhere in the $2 M neighborhood….
sounds like he'll be willing to sacrifice a little to stay with us.
i wonder what other clubs will offer him? no doubt he’d be fantastic backing up jameer if he was content to do so. he would provide such energy off the bench.
Given that he'll be 33-34 when his contract is up, that's the figure I was thinking too.
