    Great signing and welcome AB back. He has lost a step since injury but nevertheless still a very capable backup pg. He is a better insurance than a rookie 2nd rounder for sure.

    I'm definitely praying for my sins of ever getting bothered by Lin's turnovers and poor jumpers. Seen the light and will now become a true Christian and will back Lin no matter how back he sucks. 0 Points 12 turnovers? It alright Jeremy... us Christians know how good you really are.

    I'm actually glad to have AB back too. Like I said a few weeks ago I think Morey has something in mind and we'll see some major change at some point. Its in his nature to shake things up so this is just the start. Worse case scenario we get a Vet backup PG who can fill in for Lin or Bev when needed.

    Wow nice!! Welcome back Brooks, a little insurance never hurt nobody. Why are some people seriously upset or at least baffled that A) we signed him and B) that fans like the signing. We are now contenders so you can't roll with BJ Young or whoever. You bring in as many young guys for camp and bring em back later like we did with Mike Harris, Greg Smith, Chuck Hayes (I believe) and probably many more.

    I don't know how the roster will sort itself out having 4 PGs but it looks like
    2007 again when we had 5 point guards on the roster
    Alston, Brooks, Francis, B. Jackson and M. James.

    Alston is the only guy you could arguably consider a pass first guy.

    It's too early to say 4 pgs or 5 sgs;
    Morey prepares to find some trades before season opening;
    The world is changing everyday

    Aside from the Rodman23 gif with little Brooks sneaky in the back, check this out:

    Very quickly at 1:02 you see AB from the playoff introduction video

    So what you're saying is that if jeremy just stays quiet, he'll replicate and become the first and third option AND also the 6th man...would that even be his final form?

    I do see your point though, everytime he turns the ball over or something like that, I'm always like damnit lin why you always gotta talk about jesus!

    In actuality, I've never heard him being religious, nevermind annoyingly religious like a jason terry...no I really just don't think he's worth his contract, its that simple.

    Keep going though, I'm dying over here lol its like watching shirley phelps argue with the mirror.

    Hmm.... How's JLIN pushing his religion on others??? Did he forced you? It's his opinion and he has the freedom to express his opinion. Whenever you saw Jesus in his twitter, is he forcing you to believe in Jesus? It's always up to you if you're gonna be influenced or not. JLIN didn't ask you nor force you to believe in what he believes in just as everyone of us is free to express our opinions on a subject. If he somehow encroaches your private space, then that's the time you can say he's pushing something onto you.

    Don't make sense to have brooks in , unless Lin is getting traded. If Rockets does it, hope they pull the trigger sooner the better.

    I'm not too big on Brooks and never was since he first got drafted. But I guess if he doesn't cost much, it couldn't be too bad. I never like undersized PG's. Mauree however seem to have an affinity towards undersized players.

    To me, the only thing this ensures, at the moment, is that the PG rotation is essentially the same as last season's: Lin/Beverly/Brooks. I think this guarantees that Canaan spends most of the season with the Vipers, and it's interesting because I do think Brooks, offensively, is the best suited of all the PGs to play with Howard, who will desperately need spacing, shooting and quickness from his PG.

    Being undersized or not everyone here wishes he can turn back the clock to 2009 when whe won MIP.... that kind of production was borderline good
