    Who?

    I get it, when Brooks is hot, he's great but he only shoots well once every 10 games it feels like. Matthews has become the new shooting specialist and Brooks just offers nothing else in a crowded backcourt.

    there's nothing to over value. You have a young shooter signed for pennies.

    Because he's crap. 30% three point shooter with no shot creation skills, no playmaking skills, horrible 1-on-1 defense. His only positives are that he's an above average rebounder for his size, he's good playing the passing lanes and understands team defense (beneficial when Silas is playing the zone those 3 possessions per game). Highly situational player. He'll do well in New Zealand or wherever he's headed next.

    He's a Houston Cougar.

    In one year Rafael Stone has waived 2 Houston Cougar players.

    Danuel House and Armoni Brooks.

    Imagine if Carroll Dawson did this in the 90s..... Hakeem and Clyde.

    half the roster is full of guys that could be cut. There;s a reason why this team is the worst in the league. DJ and brooks aren't the worst two by far

    I could be wrong , but I think you have to have available roster spots to complete the trade. They could immediately waive Freedom because of Theis going out. If they wanted to complete the trade they had to waive 2 players to accommodate Schroeder and Bruno even if they don't stay on the team

    You say half, but don't name one.

    I'm guessing you mean Nwaba, but he is a body type and position fit that we don't have as much of as guards.

    nwaba sucks. He has no reason to be on this team besides being paid an idiotic $10 mil. that's the only reason hes on the roster at this point. Garrison is a chucker, I couldn't careless about him. Garuba stinks

    So you would rather cut a rookie Garuba who is injured and has barely played vs. Brooks or DJ? Seriously?

    garuba is terrible, so yes. DJ doesn't matter to me. He has no place on this rebuilding team either.

    Agree that Nwaba is not a great basketball player, but I bet they like his chemistry and fit better.
