    by Keith Calkins / October 5, 2005

    What was your reaction when you first heard the news of the trade?

    Rafer Alston: I was shocked. I was getting ready early for practice and was pulled off the court and told I was traded. You sign a long deal there and you’re thinking even with the distractions, you put it behind you and work together.

    You and Jeff Van Gundy have only had a brief time to talk. Can you take us inside that introductory sit-down?

    RA: He just told me we’re wiping a clean slate. Just go out and perform and put things behind you. And I explained to him I’m not this bad crazy guy. If I was that bad a person, trust me, I would not have one year in this league. And I think everyone knows that. My play and my personality prior to last year was built around being a hard-working guy. A guy who loves to laugh, smile and play the game. If I didn’t react the way I reacted (walking out of a December practice that prompted a two-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the club), I don’t think we would be hearing about any of those questions.

    Let's hope he doesn't end up like this again
