    Brooks isn't the guy we need. It would be like Damon Stoudamire 2.0

    Any better alternatives? Brooks is young and has proven he can score and shoot the 3 in this league. He may be undersized, but his ability to spread the floor makes up for it, plus it's not like he's a bad playmaker.

    Brooks is a better Patty Mills...

    I'd rather not go after a player like him.

    A month ago, you were meh-ing Augustin because of his height. Did he also grow under Silas?

    Ya know what's funny? How posters don't get that we have no pg waiting to take over for miller. Brooks or Harris coming here would be about as good as you could "realistically" hope for. Here's the blazers option....

    1. Resign miller

    2. Draft a pg in a shitty draft

    3. Patty mills

    4. Armon Johnson

    5. Trade for Harris, Brooks, or another decent young pg.

    Hmmm

    I think Brooks is attainable. I bet Houston shops him. Batum is too much though. Give them a young player and both first round draft picks. But definitley not Batum. That would just create a hole at another position.

    Brooks can't even challenge Kyle Lowry for the reins to the Rockets.

    With a team option on Andre for next year, we have 2 drafts to find our PGOTF.

    It's not like there's any rush now. We have maybe 4 guys we're going to hang onto.

    We have an entire team to rebuild, again.

    Not true. We kept Dan Dickau around for way too long, simply because the dude grew up around here.

    Brooks our starting PG? No thanks.

    They would demand Batum? Ha, ha! Good one.

    Exactly. So let's send them Patty Mills. Brooks would be fine coming off our bench, IMO.

    Which "young player"? Who are you suggesting they would want? Babbitt?

    I think Brooks would be the perfect fit on our team.

    As do I. After watching his performance in the playoffs two years ago, I'm convinced he can ball. He's just in a slump this year after coming off injury, and Adelman isn't letting him play through the difficulties.
