Lots of deals...that aren't making much sense.
Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
It's for Goran Dragic and a pick, Brooks will likely split minutes w/ Nash to give him rest.
Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
Good trade for Suns.
I'll take it for Dragic, heck throw VC in there as well :lol

I like it too, legit pg to help Nash. Plus I'm pretty sure Brooks torches the Suns everytime they play
Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
Suns pick is lottery protected
If Suns don't make playoffs, Suns trade the Orlando Pick to Rockets
If Suns do make playoffs, Rockets get Suns pick

Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
This is crazy man. Dragic the starting point guard now in Houston, or Lowry?
Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
[QUOTE=alenleomessi]I like it for Dragic[/QUOTE]
True. Finally he'll be released from the GIGANTIC Nash shadow.
Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
It's official, done deal.
Brooks for Dragic + pick.

Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
Another good trade for PHO. This makes them a lot better imo, provided that Brooks will bring his A game. Dragic is talented but unreliable. Brooks is way better than him. HOU would never do such a move unless they did not have huge problems with Brookes

Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
So the Suns ARE trading Nashty Nash in the summer?
Re: Suns trade for Aaron Brooks
I also like this for the Suns.
Brooks will thrive in their offense. He'll be a 20ppg/7apg player next year when given the starting job.
