trade drawer - aaron brooks

by hugetrailblazerfan on Jan 11, 2011 6:46 PM PST

I'd love the blazers to make a trade for aaron brooks. not only is he an oregon native he's on of the few guys with a great handle, that can cross players over and score from any angle on the court. the blazers need a player like that. look what wade did to us the other day. we need a hot offensive weapon. brooks is it.

i'd trade batum and dre miller to houston for brooks and 6'11 jared jeffries.

i'd also try to swap the latest of out two draft picks for houston's. hey, ya never know.

go blazers

I wouldn't do that.

Brook’s is not a good defender and he will likely ask for “Travis Outlaw out of this world money”

An Oregon native?

I’m not sure about that one. He might have went to the University of Oregon, but Brooks is not from Oregon. He went to Franklin High School in Seattle and is actually a Washington native

or Malik Hairston

or Roeland Schaftenaar (wonder what he is doing?), or Seth Tarver (we need more SG’s!)

I think he would get dominated on defense.

most players in the nba don't play D

so who cares.
the nba has made the league offense orientated. you can’t play D like in the 90’s. the nba want high scoring to appeal to the fans. ticky tack fouls result in tech fouls these days.

Batum is overated so I say we take advantage and make a move using him.
I’d rather have a starting five of brooks, rudy, wesley, LA, and camby, than miller wesley, batum, LA and camby.

brooks is one of the quickest players in the nba, has a sick handle and can take anyone in the league off the dribble and score in bunches. batum plays good help d but is inconsistent. brooks would be ten times more helpful to the blazers. plus i’d rather have brooks than devin harris.

That's absurd

Good teams have players that play defense. Crappy teams have players that don’t play defense. Brooks plays crappy defense.

In addition, Brooks’ offense is very mediocre. He is a poor distributor and not a terribly efficient scorer.

We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.

Toxic offer....

Wouldn’t it be better to wait till the off season when brooks becomes a restricted free agent? Doubt Houston’s fiscally conservative front office would match a toxic offer

I don't know...

Offering him a 5 year deal could be bad down the road. The problem with guys who’s game is based so much on athleticism is one knee or ankle injury and they are done for… on top of that those type of players don’t often go much past 30. Personally I’d take Lowry over Brooks.
