    If that's the trade, it makes no sense.


    What does that save you? 3 mil? I'd rather have just given away KJ Martin, even though he has more value.


    No way we're paying Brooks 28 mil a year. Right? RIGHT!!?!

    There's got to be more to this, or more corresponding moves that we're not privy to.

    I'm going to take a break and step away from social media for a second to let this play out before I lose my ****. If this is truly the whole deal, I'm going to be pissed...

    Good move, clears more space so we can do more to shore up the roster with veterans. We don't need 10 kids to develop, we just need the better ones and hopefully focusing on them will yield a star or 2.

    Garuba had so much defensive potential but he never got a chance. Damn.

    How is it a good move, though? Those were first round draft picks, and this saves them like hardly any money. There has to be more than this.

    I'm still doubting it myself, but the author is legit from what I can tell. I don't even know who Kappa Lambda is.

    Must be a much much bigger move ahead like a huge trade or just clearing cap for Brooks and one other piece.

    I don’t mind this.

    LMAO no. We need to develop our young 1st round picks especially the one that flashes insane defensive talent. Not pay Brooks 25 a year and FVV 40 a year in hopes of making the play in. This team will never get out of the basement with Tillman and Stone. Never.

    To me, this is what’s wrong with a lot of Rockets fans. Overvaluing assets. Neither one of these guys are needle movers. They just aren’t. Maybe they turn themselves into contributors on a team one day, but real success does not hinge on either of these guys.
