Kings Inquiring About Brooks, Teague Posted: 11/24/2010 6:48:00 AM Source: Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee While no one expected a playoff run, or even anything resembling an extended winning streak, this early season tumble is shooting flares all over the place. Is there a plan? Is there an offense? Maybe not. But no one's getting fired. "We're disappointed," Kings co-owner Joe Maloof said Tuesday, his club having lost eight of its past nine games, "but we're not panicking. The defense is much better, and if we start making shots, we'll win some of these games. In fairness to Westphal, everyone acknowledges the Kings are far from a finished product. They need outside shooting like ski resorts need snow. They need DeMarcus Cousins to behave like a mature adult, not a 20-year-old kid. They need a facilitator so they can move Tyreke Evans to shooting guard or small forward and exploit his strength and natural scoring instincts. Better yet, they need Geoff Petrie to acquire a more conventional point guard – or a player whose skills would better complement those of Evans – and accelerate the learning process. (The Kings are aggressively pursuing a move and reportedly have inquired about Atlanta's Jeff Teague and Houston's Aaron Brooks, among others, though team officials declined to comment on the speculation.) "There's no point bemoaning what we don't have," Westphal added. "Right now with this team, the best possible thing we can (accomplish) is to put together a defensive identity. Put the pieces together in a way that fits. Be the best defensive team we can be. We will work it out offensively. I don't think anyone expected us to look like the 1971 Knicks after 13 games." What do you guys think about trading Brooks to Sacramento? Who would you want in return for Brooks?
Sacramento 2011 1st rounder for Brooks plus our 2001 2nd round pick swap option with Clippers (Could be first pick in 2nd round).
Cousins is the only guy on that team I would want. And yes, that includes Landry and Tyreke. I would not want either one on this team as it is right now.
Regardless. It's not happening. No way on earth. I'd give Brooks for their 1st. I wouldn't mind the 1st only. We'll have two lottery picks to rebuild and hopefully get a superstar.
I dont know about that. Teams that had a bad chemistry usually trade that weakest link off.... I would try to make them take Battier to relieve some money
Not 14 games into the season. Imagine if we traded Yao 14 games into the season because we were having chemistry problems?
So are they really think they will be better on defense when they get Brooks? Strange. I would trade Brooks+J.Hill+ny 2012 1st pick for DeMarcus and their 1st pick this year, but they will probably offer Jason Thompson+ scrubs for Brooks.
Don’t get me wrong I love Brooks but defense isn’t one of his strengths. If he does get traded he may get that big contract he’s looking for. I never understood why they had Evans at the point…and how will Evans and Brooks work out if they both need to have the ball.
Cousins is to much for the coaching staff to handle, maybe they'd be open to trading him for a young guard who would compliment Tyreke Evans very well .. Brooks for Cousins, get it done Morey!!! --RB
This is insane. Y'all need to stop thinking like noobs. This isn't NBA 2k11. And try to think from the other team's point of view.
lets get landry back so people can stop complaining about how much we miss him and lack of his fire...
