Aaron Brooks
- Thread starter HereWeBoogie
- Start date
This is a guy more than ANYONE ELSE I wanted to stay away from, especially given Petrie's man crush on him. I mean, why? Why, why, why?
An undersized, non-defensive, shoot first PG. Does that sound like something we need? Jesus christ. i am very positive about the JJ move but have been steadfast since the first rumor of Petrie wanting Brooks a couple years ago, that I want nothing to do with him. I watched a lot of him with Hou after Kev was traded, and he is just not what this team needs.
Sorry to sound negative to the fanbase, but I do not like this, especially when we already have an undersized PG in IT. IT alone we can cover for. But now our backup is an undersized chucker as well? Would MUCH rather we had just brought back TWill as a backup guard. Much rather.

I'll always have fond memories of him destroying Derek Fisher in the playoffs a few years ago but he's a bit overrated as a player. He's certainly not a traditional point guard and is more of a scoring guard (which I'm pretty sure Sacramento has more than their share of)
Pretty mediocre pickup if you ask me. He's certainly better than Jimmer I guess but this is a pretty useless move.

Well, we we're very close to the cap before this signing, so unless it is a S&T, Brooks will be coming to this team for something under 4 million.
Like a lot of our moves, that is probly good VALUE for the talent, even if it isn't exactly what we need. Pretty much confirms IT will start and Brooks will back him up. We could have a worse backup PG ... hello Pooh Jeter and Bobby Brown.

I like this move. It gives us 2 true PGs in Brooks and IT. This means that MT and Reke can play where they belong - at the #2. No more of this playing out of position stuff. Reke is the starting 2 and MT is his back-up. It also means that Jimmer can play the bench until he proves he can play somewhere on the court.

P.S. This and the James Johnson thread(s) should probably be in Kings Rap.

<SIGH> I have absolutely no idea what this braintrust <insert joke here> is doing. Aaron Brooks might have made some sense if the team didn't already have Isaiah Thomas. While Brooks is a tad taller than IT, is he a better all-around player or does he have more potential? It's highly questionable.
Unless it's an obvious upgrade and you're going to discard the other player, it makes no sense to have 2 very undersized players, with essentially the same skill set, playing the same position.
This team has talent, no doubt. Unfortunately, they have too many combinations of square pegs and round holes.
Just when I thought this off-season couldn't get more depressing ....

If I see any IT/Brooks combo at any time, I might just break my remote. This also negates just about any opportunity for Reke to play PG when IT is resting, which is fine, but means we most likely won't see a Reke/MT combo, unless we go with IT or Brooks, MT at the 2 and Reke at SF on occasion, which would suck, which means to me with little possible opportunities for a Reke/MT combo, that MT has now gone from starter to 20-25 mins per night tops, which would also mean imo he won't be happy, is not worth 8M in that role and we need another trade.
