If you would trade Collision for AB that's laughable to me.jennings shoots a raferesque shooting percentage from the floor,and is completly clueless on the basketball floor for large stretches of the game.
Let's not kid ourselves people, most of us never expected Brooks to play THIS well. Now that he HAS...can we just enjoy his growth. He's F-ing awesome...he's always in the highlight reels, he's fearless, he has a sweet stroke from 3 point land, and he's fast...he's really fast...he's so fast, he makes fast people look not that fast. (The Longest Yard... :grin: lol), anyway...he might not be Deron Williams, or Rajon Rondo, or Steve Nash, they have size, lenght, and court vision. Brooks has shooting ability, speed, and handles. Last year we were stuck with Alston, Rafer freakin Aslton?!?!?! You remember his god awful 3 point shots, or his (trade mark) floater? LOL. Now we got BROOKS, he shoots his 3's 2 feet BEHIND the 3 point line?!?!? Plus he weaves and darts through defenses for easy buckets, paired with Martin (a pure shooter) and Yao in the middle next year...we got a hell of a team, not to mention Scola always playing on GOD MODE :grin: lol, and all the other awesome role players we have. Brooks is the *****...and paired with Lowry the tandem is awesome. I agree he's not much of a passer but this is his first year starting...give him time and he'll grow into a steadier, more mature point guard. We got him in the second round, because people underestimated him and...well I'm glad Aldeman didn't...cause now we have one of the fastest, hardest to guard point guards in the league. And best of all HE'S NOT INJURY PRONE!!!!! LOL.
I wouldn't trade AB for Collison--yet. But Collison still owns AB when they play. Now Collison in his 2nd or 3rd year of improvement, I might consider a trade. But not now.
Exactly, and let's not forget did deron williams or even chris paul averaged 20 ppg and 5.6 a in their first year ?? no I don't think so, so give this guy sometime and I bet he'll be one of the top 5 PGs for the next decade.
I think you misplaced Yao and AB in the sentence, this is AB's TEAM, Yao is the one holding us back genius.
Daryl Morey is the genius, not me. So if Yao is holding us back as you say, DM isn't going to re-sign him. In any case, with Yao or without him, AB might get us to the playoffs, but isn't going to take us to the championship.
And you can quit it with the snide remarks. I'm just a fan of this team with my own opinion, just like anyone else.
Yea, I forgot about all the champiosnhips Yao got us in his 8 yr window. Oh wait, it was one playoff series victory that was probably due to AB.
Okay THIS is my problem with Brooks, is not necessarily him, but the way he is extremely overrated in this board!!! What you "ryano2009" forgot is that both Deron & Paul are the same freaking age as Brooks ... Aaron is a good starter thats about it, his at best a border line All-Star... and I seriously mean at best!! Seriously Brook fanatics need to get grip!!!
I agree with that. Unfortunately, I think thats where he'll be for the rest of his career. A very very very good player, but not complimented alongside the likes of rondo, paul, nash, curry, williams, evans.
Agree! I don't understand how some of these "fans" are up and down with are team. I hate the fans from houston that don't apprciate there team. I'm from CA and I love the Rockets and they players. If they suit up for us I'm a fan of them 99% of the time
Thats strange, all i remember seeing are Brooks isn't clutch, Must get ball out of brooks hands, brooks isn't a championship PG, trade brooks-threads. Its hilarious, the only people bag on him ar YOF too.
