    Good luck to AB

    He proved me that he could be a solid point guard in this league. He was the leader of this team last year, he stepped ahead in 09 playoffs and gave us a lot of good emotions before the bad ones

    Hope you would have a solid and healthy career in PHX. Stay calm and be patient dude

    Thanks!

    I'll miss the little guy. Most of his current haters were jocking hard when he was putting the Lakers to the test or easing us past the Blazers.

    That said, I hope he flourishes in his summer school session with Nash and returns home to us with a new skill set and a renewed lease on life.

    ive always liked brooks, he just had a bad season with the injury and a mix of other things. ive always thought he had mad potential, but the coaching staff knows him better than i do so ill trust there decision. somebody good had to go and it was 0. wish him luck, im sure he'll get better under nash.

    Well said mate, this guy was the true definition of the underdog. He gave us some excitement during the playoffs against LA, and took the NBA by surprise during his MIP season, good luck with the rest of your career Aaron, best wishes.

    Great Guy. Very Humble and Sincere person. He truly regret the decision to walk out of the court. I think that's the only mistake he made in his 3 years here at Houston in my opinion.
    I want to Thank you from the bottom of my heart AB. I will never forget the Lakers series that you made the ROckets looks like world beaters. It was you that was made the mismatch against the potent Lakers. THANK YOU AARON BROOKS..........

    I wish we could still have AB on the team now, but AB was gone when he got injured in the beginning of the year. He was never the same and needed a change of scenery.

    I hope he gets his mind back to playing like he used to at the end of 2009

    we had some great moments Aaron, but you just pushed enough to get traded

    AB was one of my favorite Rockets in recent memory. Thanks for all the great memories. This year was a struggle, but I have no doubt he will be able to regain his game in Phoenix. I hope he turns into the player he was (except when he plays against us). Good luck, and thank you.

    I'll always remember the buzzer-beating layup against the Lakers and the firey passion Brooks had on the court during the good times. During his and Landry's rookie year, I thought this team was going places.

    Hope he has a great career.

    This season has been disaster for him so far and I do feel that it was best to move him. Plus this Dragic guy looks good and the pick could help.

    I really hope he gets it together and I honestly feel that Phoenix would be a good situation for him. Possible playoff experience this year (with maybe Denver/Utah out of the picture) and a chance to learn from Nash (one of the best in the game). I wish him nothing but the best for the rest of his career. He is a good player, played with intensity, he always puts his entire heart & soul into his play. I really hope he can develop into a star in this league.

    Nightmare season for Brooks. I hope the change of scenery brings him better fortune. He's a good guy.

    Eff u Manu!

    Manu, if u r reading this for some reason, u ruined a rising player's career! So long AB. I hope u will return to the Rockets in the future so u can retire under the organization that gave u a chance and made u relevant in the league.

    Best wishes to AB!

    AB is a great person! If you watched the summer league games, you should notice that, as a PG, he always created opportunities for those players who tried to make the team. If you remember the classic competition between Wafer and Strawberry in a SL game, you also should remember that AB made great passes to both of them.

    AB is a great teammate! Many rockets players get chinese shoe contracts because of Yao. But, very few of them help Yao when he needed help. Although AB didn't have chinese shoe contract, he attended Yao's charity game to support him.
