It seems he will not play with you in the coming seasons.

Thanks for telling, but we knew that already. And no one is expecting him to play this season anyway, he's not even on the summer league team.

He should stay in Europe where the moneys right

What is so important about this Sergio guy?

his last name is "lol". to put him in the game, all the coach has to do is laugh out loud. when he's in the game and screws up, coach can laugh out loud sarcastically w/ anger and he'll go back to the bench.

no but really, he's got size, 6'3/190lbs. also from one highlight i saw, he showed some great transition defense. the guy we has chasing had the ball and was in front of lol, lol manages to catch up, and when they're at the rim, lol is literally in front of the ball handler, jumps and contests the layup. thats pretty effin good. if he really does have above average defense, it aint cool that he's gone for 4 more years at least, but that also means he'll be more polished, and maybe he needs those 4 years to be nba ready.

Anybody know if there's a buyout provision anywhere in his deal?

I read somewhere that there is a opt out clause if an NBA team want to sign him after end of 1st or 2nd year (can't remember). Llull will be good replacement for brooks if rockets were unable to retain brooks.

can we just trade him? he may have some value and we want to win now

I'm sure that even with the new deal there is an achievable buy-out option. The thing is, he's going to have to want to come here. For that to happen the situation has to be right (when he wouldn't be the #3 PG on the team).

I love the fact that the dude doesn't want to come to the NBA just to sit on the bench. I say let him play there and improve and see how he looks after next season.
