Just FYI there's a first team all nba rookie in NJ with 18 points right now
Pretty sure Irving and Rubio have the Rookie Guard spots sewn up on the first team. Also, FY!, he wouldn't be playing over Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.
Just because Doc refuses to play the best players doesn't mean he isn't a better player than JJJ or anyone else.
He's a 2 guard starting on a terrible team. He's not better than Ray or Paul and thus wouldn't be getting substantial minutes.
Can he run the break? What would happen if we had him instead of them? Have horrifically embarrassing losses? Oh wait. We have that now. If we were to call the Nets and offer PP or Ray for Brooks and salary filler they'd laugh for 3 days straight.
exactly what GM running a franchise that's rebuilding trade a rookie SG that has potential for a 36-year-old SG?
you're not helping your argument that Brooks was a bad deal or that he'd be saving the franchise if we kept him. if JJJ was getting as much playing time as Brooks, he'd have similar numbers ( granted, that's an assumption on my part but JJJ has shown he's more than capable of scoring when given minutes). Put Brooks on team where he'd be stuck behind a top HOF starter and a backup that's played like a 6th man candidate and he'd be sitting just like JJJ.
