    Aaron was a valuable rotation player for us. Can Hamilton be a plug and play guy? If he can't, then it will be a bad trade for us.

    Defense comes secondary to 3pt shooting on a team that's primarily offensive oriented. If we can't hit 3's we have absolutely no chance of winning any championships. I don't see how you can't comprehend this? On this team our 3pt shooting is make or break

    Love this, Hamilton should finally give us some toughness and defense at the wing.

    He's not shooting better than Garcia from 3.

    Hamilton is shooting .349 from 3 and Garcia is shooting .352 from 3.

    definitely overrating this guy. Brooks doesn't play enough to warrant being a significant contributor to the rockets 3 pt shooting. at this point he became a garbage time player. means very little to nothing

    Lin is going to really miss AB. I wonder if that really was why.

    Well I can tell you're having trouble understanding, so let me explain to you slowly.

    Barea will be playing behind Beverly and Lin. If you kept up to this point, lets move on to the next point.


    Barea will be paid 4.5m this season. Brooks for Barea salary does not match. Got it? Ok good lets move on.

    In the NBA it is better to pay 4.5m on players to fill out a roster rather than 4.5m for a third string backup point guard.
