Gotta Trade Aaron Brooks

[grond]

Word, lets trade away the only guy that can create for himself

In transition, maybe. Half court, not so much. Against tight D, occasionally, and with high risk.

and for others

No.

Edit: On 2nd thought, maybe that was too harsh. He can create for others, but it's not really his first instinct. Against good defenses this turns into a big problem late in the game because he's not really good enough to just give the ball to and hope something good will happen with great consistency.

[M4P]

You guys complain about D day in and day out and then bring up trading for Nash? Really?

[Kal El]

as i said in a previous thread... this isn't a quick fix team. think early 2000's during the stevie franchise era with cuttino mobley. you know you had a talented back court ala brooks-martin but you know its not going to develop into a championship calliber backcourt. you just gotta ride it out and see what happens and trust morey will make the right decision. if we take a look back morey was able to pair up Yao with move francis and cuttino for t-mac. i know hindsight it didn't work out but at the time everybody was expecting shaq and kobe 2.0 and was well they should. (the fact it didn't work out is another story). Point is this isn't a quick fix team. This roster is definitely not going to develop into a championship contender squad but trading away pieces now for the likes of nash or gerald wallace isn't going to do it either. it would just be a lateral movement.

just be patient. don't expect a championship. and trust morey.

Didn't Carroll Dawson acquire T-Mac?

[Mr. E]

Didn't Carroll Dawson acquire T-Mac?

Yeah, T-Mac was pre-Morey. Morey's first big move he was part of was the Battier deal.

[MaxRider]

Morey wanted to pick Fernandez, after he's gone, he went with Adelman's pick -- Brooks

oops! totally forgot... but other than that detail you get my point.

Nash isn't a bad defender in terms of team defense, but at the end of the day Nash's offensive abilities to produce outweigh anything Brooks has to offer and it's not even close. Better shooter, better clutch time player, pass first point-guard, and he loves playing next to guards that like to light up the stat sheet. Plus can you imagine that pick 'n roll with Nash-Scola or Nash-Yao, it would be beautifully executed with the offensive arsenal Scola has.

At the end of the day Nash is better than Brooks, and frankly it's not even close, especially for this team. He's expiring after this season too, but he's still capable of exploiting an offensive system and using it to his fullest advantage.

told you guys 3 years ago when we traded Alston
1-2 years later people will want to trade Brooks
i wanted trade him to Indiana when they were looking for a PG (too bad i don't think they will give us Granger)

[Alex_De_Large]

just listened that he will be out 2 or 3 months, not 1 month

the lord giveth a deep team, and the lord taketh our best pg . curse thee, almighty lord, for thy shall bear witness the wraith upon which i will bring to thy innocent souls.

[rocketsballin]

we'd have 2 established pgs, and 2 almost established pgs. ed davis would be cool if he was a proven defenisve big and not injured till all jan/feb. we need more defensive bigs and less injury proners and pgs

if morey is gonna try to get a big this season, it has to be a defensive big. preferably the prototypical big black guy 6'11 250lb is perfect. dont mind jason thompson as long as he can still block shots which im sure he can, but not in 5mpg

forgot that hill is showing signs of the defensive big role. he does that we'll be ok, i am concerned with his lack of size, but we have yao but only for 24 minutes. we'll see wat happens

[M4P]

We're not going to take on more salary without improving.

[langer]

man, Jazz looks scary this year. The way that how the beat Heat at their home court reminds me a lot. And, if Aaron Brooks is our starting PG, I think Rocket stands ZERO chance to beat Jazz anytime.

Steve Nash?
