He still can be in a sign and trade since the Suns held his rights from last year.
Here is the item about Aaron Brooks that was in question explained from a Paul Coro blog at azcentral dated 6-25-12.
* The Suns will put in the required tender offers on Robin Lopez and Aaron Brooks this week to make them restricted free agents. Any team will be able to recruit Lopez and Brooks. When either or both signs an offer sheet, the Suns will have the ability to match the contract to keep Lopez or bring back Brooks. The Suns can’t execute a sign-and-trade deal on Brooks because he was not on the team’s payroll last season.
