Perkins isn't a Rick Adelman guy, and he'll be a free agent after this season. With the possibility of a large demand for Centers in the offseason, I'm not sure if Morey will be able to resign him. So basically we're getting Robinson (who's not any better than Brooks or Lowry) and Bradley for Battier and Miller's ugly contract. But the thing is, the Rockets don't need Robinson or Bradley. So I think the Rockets could get a better offer than what you've proposed.

TMU, there's a difference between "not any better than" and "far worse than"--I think the latter applies to Robinson v. Brooks/Lowry.

Ah, you're right. I stand corrected.

Unless we're talking dunks--but even then, I'd guess it wouldn't take 17 tries for Brookslowry to complete one.

I don't think so. Lowry, yeah. But not Brooks. I'd rather have Nate than Brooks.

It's sad how much Brooks value has fallen in less than a year.

He got addicted to shooting up [the ball]. Done out of necessity, but it messed with his attitude.
