Rockets deal Brooks to Suns
The Houston Rockets have traded point guard Aaron Brooks to the Phoenix Suns for Goran Dragic and a first round draft pick.
Brooks was due to be a free agent in the offseason and the Rockets were not likely to be able to re-sign him.
The deal isn’t the only one the Rockets made at the trade deadline, also sending Shane Battier to Memphis for Hasheem Thabeet and a draft pick.
From both trades, it’s clear that the Rockets have given up on the current group of players and are looking to go into a full rebuild.
You have to wonder if that also means the team may look to buy out or trade Yao Ming, depending upon whether he is every healthy again or not.
