Isn't Brooks gonna be claimed off of waivers by Cleveland? They just waived Josh Selby...

That seems to be the latest rumor. With Irving's injury and now waiving Selby, they only have Livingston left. So it would made a lot of sense for them to sign Brooks.

Brooks is leaving Kings on a buy-out. No team is going to claim Brooks without first agreeing in terms with Brooks.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports and Hoopshype.com.

Aaron Brooks has reached an agreement with Houston and will sign a contract on Tuesday.
Brooks' deal with Rockets includes a team option for next season, sources tell Y!

Since Houston's Roster is at 15, who will be cut?
Maybe Tyler Honeycutt or James Anderson.

forgot about Anderson....I vote him over Honeycutt, definitely

rocketsballin · Post #808 » by **rocketsballin** » Tue Mar 5, 2013 3:41 am

with brooks and garcia we should keep honeycutt. being in his 2nd year there's always potential

Post #809 » by **jwise44** » Tue Mar 5, 2013 3:51 am

I meant vote Anderson out over Honeycutt

Rather cut anderson

I actually would take Honeycutt over Anderson 10x out of 10

Won't both be gone this offseason anyways? If not which is cheaper next season? That's who we should keep

rocketsballin · Post #810 » by **rocketsballin** » Tue Mar 5, 2013 3:58 am

anderson would take minutes away from brooks and garcia, so i'd rather keep honeycutt

we cant send honeycutt or olbrecht to dleague instead of having to cut someone?

texasholdem · Post #812 » by **texasholdem** » Tue Mar 5, 2013 6:26 pm

Rockets waived Honeycutt. Oh well, can invite him to Summer League next year. Has Tayshaun Prince potential defensively. McHale said we need a backup defender at SF.

So the trade really ended up as:
Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas for
Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Aaron Brooks

You can't have more than 15 players even those in the DLeague count towards that #.

jjscap · Post #813 » by **jjscap** » Tue Mar 5, 2013 8:31 pm

I am confused about what kind of role Brooks will have.

rocketsballin · Post #814 » by **rocketsballin** » Tue Mar 5, 2013 8:40 pm

scoring spark off the bench. nate robinson role for chicago

NBA assignees (like Royce, TJones) to the D-League count towards the 15 man roster. I suppose we could sign Honeycutt to a D-League contract after waiving him (like Machado), assuming he clears waivers.

rocketsballin · Post #816 » by **rocketsballin** » Tue Mar 5, 2013 10:29 pm

several team will be fighting to claim the honey cut

Players sent to Dleague still counts as a roster spot.

Next season, assuming we lose our 1st rounder to ATL for the Terrance Williams trade:

1. James Harden, sg
2. Chandler Parsons, sf (rookie contract)
3. Jeremy Lin, pg
4. Omer Asik, c
5. Donatas Motiejunas, pf (rookie contract)

6. Patrick Beverley, pg (non guaranteed)
7. Thomas Robinson, pf (rookie contract)
8. Carlos Delfino, sf (team option for next season at $3 million)

9. Aaron Brooks, pg (team option for next season at $2.3 million)
10. Terrence Jones, pf (rookie contract)
11. Greg Smith, c (partial/non guaranteed contract for $884k)
12. Royce White, pf (rookie contract)

13. Tim Olhbrecht, c (non guaranteed contract for 2 more years)
14. James Anderson, sg (non guaranteed contract)
15. ???

Francisco Garcia will almost assuredly not be back as he has a team option on the last year of his contract for $6 million. Carlos Delfino has a team option for $3 million but I think Morey/McHale will want him back for that price.

Furkan Aldemir should be available from Europe but we have a lot of young PFs
We'll have the Suns second round pick which should be in the 38 range or so

Do we try for a Josh Smith? Dwight Howard? David West? Paul Millsap?
or wait for a trade and/or the 2014 free agent market?

Fingers crossed that we don't cut Greg Smith to save a buck...

Teckon · Post #820 » by **Teckon** » Wed Mar 6, 2013 8:52 am

IF R. White does not improve at end of this season, and Rocket does not exercise the 3rd year option, his rookie contract will become expiring contract next season.
