Would You Trade Sean Williams for Aaron Brooks?

[ghoti]

From Fred Kerber:

The Nets are realizing that they probably went overboard with the size thing last summer. They now have too many bigs. Presumably, Stromile Swift will get healthy one of these centuries. And figure Eduardo Najera will end his impression of the Invisible Man. So the Nets will be back to seven guys at the 4 and 5. Maybe they try to D-League Sean Williams. Maybe they work a trade. They have looked, they have offered, they have been rejected (think Memphis with a stockpile of points, think Golden State still with a stockpile of athletes, think Houston with unused third-string point guard types).

Brooks certainly is not unused and Houston seems uninterested.

How about Luther Head? Anyone like that?

 

[User01]

Luther Head sucks.

 

[ghoti]

Luther Head sucks.

He's the only unused PG they have. The Nets couldn't possibly have offered Williams for him, right?

Would you trade SW for Aaron Brooks?

 

[MaxaMillion711]

SW for aaron brooks? hells yeah

Would you trade SW for Aaron Brooks?

yeah, but Houston wouldn't

 

[Netted]

Brooks is Houston's back-up PG now. I don't see them trading him.

I may be willing to, but tbh I didn't know who he was until I just looked it up. Judging from his stats, though, he has good scoring ability. Doesn't seem like he'd be that great on defense.

 

[ghoti]

Houston is trying to win, so I realize they wouldn't trade their backup PG.

I was curious if Nets fans would make this deal. Last year I bet they could have done it.

Who is Kerber talking about? The Rockets rejected a deal for Head, Barry or Francis??

I think it's Head, but don't know what the Nets offered. Could've been Ager.

i dont think they would have last year either... they didnt give up aaron brooks for artest last year. That shows u how much the gm values brooks.

The same GM was just as infatuated with Head once.

 

[SUPERB]

hell no!

do not trade swat use swift as bait instead.

your an idiot. Anit no way nEts make that deal. SWAT IS AWWWSOME! He just NEEDS 2 PLAY! FIRE FRANK!

 

[Tang Man]

I can't see the Rockets willing to trade Brooks fo Williams. The PG position is their biggest weakness so I doubt that'll give up Brooks who has been providing quite a spark off the bench for them. Plus the Rockets don't need Sean Williams although his shot blocking abilities off the bench would help them. What they need is a 7 footer off the bench to back up Yao.

I would trade Sean Williams for the ghost of Elliot Perry.

 

[ghoti]

Brooks is a very small scoring point with an inconsistent shot and not much upside. (And he got beat by a girl heads up in the college 3-point contest. Pfffft.)

I would not trade Sean Williams for him unless I were trying to win right away, which the Nets are not.

I've heard the Memphis rumors and would be very interested in trading Sean for one of their PGs, but there is absolutely no fit with Houston for either side as far as I can tell.

Ghoti, you seem to be mistaking Sean Williams for a legitimate basketball player.

exactly what I was thinking haha. Brooks also doesn't have a problem with marijuana or the ability to be a malcontent

If I just finished Thanksgiving dinner, I wouldn't trade a Powerball ticket for a Big Mac.

 

[GrandKenyon6]

I'd hope not. Those have 540 calories.

Good analogy. I have no idea what its supposed to mean though.

The guys I'd see if we could get for SWat would be Crittenton or look to Denver for Smith or Kleiza. The latter two we would likely have to give something else with him, but they need some more bigs.

 

[soul driver]

I'd love for Smith to be on the Nets, but that's not happening.

He's eat. He's not hungry. Why trade in a chance at wealth for something you don't need?

kinda what i thought, but i was thinking we had a feast of big men, so Sean was just a big mac compared to all of the other guys. Which confused me.
