Default Suns trade for Aaron Brooks

The Rockets sent point guard Aaron Brooks to Phoenix and forward Shane Battier to Memphis in separate deals Thursday that bring guard Goran Dragic and center Hasheem Thabeet to Houston, according to a person familiar with the specifics of the trades.The Rockets also get first-round draft picks from both teams and ship rookie guard Ishmael Smith to the Grizzlies.

It's for Goran Dragic and a pick, Brooks will likely split minutes w/ Nash to give him rest.

I like it too, legit pg to help Nash. Plus I'm pretty sure Brooks torches the Suns everytime they play

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

This is crazy man. Dragic the starting point guard now in Houston, or Lowry?

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

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.
