Rockets interested in Aaron Brooks...HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! 

Post#1 » by Revived » Thu Jul 5, 2012 11:23 pm

After losing Goran Dragic to the Suns and agreeing to send Kyle Lowry to the Raptors, the Rockets are in need of a point guard. They've reportedly made an offer to Jeremy Lin, but he has yet to accept it, and even if he does, the Knicks are a good bet to match. Now, according to Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld, Houston is eyeing former Rocket Aaron Brooks. The team will meet with Brooks this weekend, says Kennedy.

Is this HILARIOUS or what? Both teams trade away their PGs then a year later sign their original PGs back? ROFL!

But yea I'm guessing we won't match though right if they do offer him a contract?

And then we are square, like it never happened. :D

We can't sign and trade Brooks since he wasn't on our roster last season.

Still...this is hilarious. Too, too funny.

Only in a match/not match scenario, but not in trades. It's weird.

Isn't it similar to the Josh Childress situation?

The moves Babby and Blanks have made I think have been solid considering where they started - but this is one deal that was not good. But move on, don't fret - let somebody sign him, renounce his rights to get the cap space when need be. Crap happens

Think of it this way.

If we never traded Dragic, we never would've witnessed the absolute domination he showed late last season, he wouldn't have known that he was capable of that.....and I would've never gotten 3rd place in Fantasy. :wink:
