Suns will give tender to Aaron Brooks

[az jam]

Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic reports the Suns will tender a qualifying offer to point guard Aaron Brooks, which means he'll be a restricted free agent on July 1.

Brooks struggled for most of last season, even after being traded to the Suns, due to an ankle injury and he should bounce back next season.

Brooks could draw some interest on the free-agent market and the Suns are expected to match any reasonable offer he might sign.

I think this means that they will not go after a PG with their #13 pick in the draft.

No. It just means that they want to stay in control of their own assets. Not offering a tender to Aaron Brooks would be stupid. Now they can do a sign and trade, or simply match. I do not think Brooks is going to get huge offers. He is a RFA so what he wants doesn't matter alot.

Aaron Brooks Sign and Trade to Minnesota along with Rolo for the #2 pick overall.

I need counseling.

An interesting question is whether the new CBA will maintain the ability of a player's existing team to give him a better deal than a new team can. Often, what has happened under the current CBA is that a team has made the one-year qualifying offer in order to keep the player's rights, waited to see who else wants him, and then negotiated a sign-and-trade, appealing to the player's (and his agent's) greed -- a sign-and-trade results in a bigger contract than what the player could get signing as new free agent outright. I could easily see that happening with Brooks, but only if the same framework is in place in the new CBA.

I liked Brooks and I think with practice he would be a good fit here but I don't want him for a big contract. It sucks, I thought Dragic was the heir apparent to Nash, too bad him and Lopez became uberscrubs over the offseason.

Triple-double for Dragic​

Of the 48 rebounds the Rockets snared Wednesday, none might have been taken with more gusto than Goran Dragic's 10th. Told by assistant coach R.J. Adelman that he was one rebound from a triple-double, Dragic went over Chuck Hayes and Patrick Patterson to get his 10th rebound. Dragic finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
"I don't know what's wrong with me, but the last three games I was all over the place, especially for the rebounds," said Dragic, who had three consecutive games with at least 10 rebounds to close the season. "The last rebound I had to get. I was like, 'It's mine.' "
Dragic had made 28 percent of his 3-pointers with Phoenix before being traded to the Rockets. In 22 games with the Rockets, he made 51.9 percent.​

Brooks was awful last year, I'd be just as happy seeing him go.

great... so if we sign him long-term we'll have even less money to spend next off-season. awesome.

nothing like compounding a bad trade by making it a permanent blight on the team.

Isn't this like double dipping the damage to the team considering what we gave up? I seriously hope the Suns have something up their sleeve with him like moving him or something.

I guess there is always the off chance that he just needed to adjust. Everybody wanted JRich's head on a stick after the trade for him. It wasn't until the offseason that he proved his worth. Maybe we will get lucky with Brooks should the Suns FO prove to be incompetent once again with their handling of Brooks.

I can dream can't I?

i hope the suns wait until Brooks is fully healed from his injury
