    Delonte is certified bat-shit crazy, so there's that, but I like his game.

    I'd rather have Brooks than West. I don't want LeBron's mom coming to our games.

    I don't think Brooks would be happy with his limited minutes off the bench behind a rookie. I think he would pout, although he may have matured some after his stint in China.

    I thought Phoenix rescinded the qualifying offer to Brooks so they could make the Dracic trade. I think that makes Brooks a UFA.

    Have you guys ever looked into Aaron Brooks numbers? 5 assists to 3 TO's when he was a starter...

    Delonte is crazy, but is talented, didn't cause issues with Dallas, and its okay to have one shaky character amongst a bunch of other stand up guys. I'm kind of tired of us only having a bunch of pussies on the team, anyway.

    Brooks would be a nice little offensive firecracker.

    Delonte needs to be kept far away from this team. He adds very little and he's a knucklehead.

    Bo is interesting. One tweet says there is no buy out and another says his Euro team wants 2 million.

    Aside from being a better an equally as good, if not better facilitator and better defender, while being almost just as good offensively... yeah, he adds very little in comparison to Aaron Brooks, who has been benched...

    Meh, that'd work great on a team of vets, like him with dallas. No desire at all to bring him in here around a roster of like 11 rookies.

    Kinda sad that our 1st round pick of last year is not even in the conversatoin of being worthy to be our backup PG.

    Better than Biyombo or Jimmer... At least we picked in the 20's.

    I think Houston currently has Shaun Livingston, but will release him/buy him out to get Howard. He might be interesting.

    Regardless we need three Pgs. But you never know what could happen. He could very well improve enough to win it. He still has summer league and fall camp to get better. Last year was a bit of a cluster fuck to completely write him off.

    Delonte's a puke, doesn't fit our team. Keep him, his guns and Lebron's mom away from Portland

    Where are you getting this from? The stats don't agree at all with your opinion.

    West is a much lesser passer than Brooks, especially now that Brooks learned how to play the point.

    ASST% - Brooks 29 in his last NBA season with one season under 23; West has never even hit 24 in a season.
