Brooks is an above average defender. 
He had the worst defensive rating on the team last year.

I'm gonna miss CJ. He was always a great energy guy, pretty streaky shooter. He had to play way more minutes than he should have last year due to all the injuries the W's had but I think he's perfect backup PG who can put in 15 min a game. At +$3M a year I think its a great signing for the Bulls.

Happy for CJ to get paid finally. He'll be a great back-up PG. He's one of those players that you can count on to give you 100% at all times and he's pretty clutch as well. On offense his game is more of a scoring PG. He has a solid mid-range jumper and while he could always get to the rim last year he really improved his finishing ability at the rim. He also is super quick and does really well in transition as a finisher. However, in transition and the half court Watson's passing skills are average at best. On defense he tries hard, gets tons of steals, but his man to man defense is suspect. I was really hoping the Warriors would re-sign CJ but if Ellis and Curry are healthy Charlie Bell should be decent enough as a back up. 3+ seems like good value to me for a good young PG.

Really? All Brooks does is score. He's a below average passer, doesn't rebound, is average at creating TOs (stls/blks/chg), and his lack of strength hurts him in man defense because it negates his lateral quickness since guards can easily get a shoulder past him. PGs in the Western Conference I'd rather have over Aaron Brooks for 1 season...Brooks has some weaknesses but he is an above average defender and very good in transition d due to his qouickness. Obviously williams, paul, westbrook, rondo, rose, and wall are superior. Evans probably and Jennings as well. Maybe baron, bills, and parker if healthy. But I don't think I'm missing any clearly better pgs then brooks.Martinus a top 10 sg. Scola and Tao are top ten at their spots too assuming good health.Clearly me and you have very different views on brooks if you are considering him anywhere near the 5th best pg in the leauge. Brooks may be the smallest player in the nba other than earl boykins, he doesn't pass well or see the floor well, he can only guard the smallest of pgs and really other than his shooting/scoring (which he does very well) he offers little else on the court. This wouldn't be nearly the issue it is if he played on a team where players can find their own shot, but the rockets are mostly spot up shooters. Brooks is a shooting guard in a 15 year old boys body, so he would be much better served as a back up pg playing 25 minutes per game similar to lou williams or nate robinson.Major said:Kev4029 said:

Chris Paul - Self explanatory.
Darren Collison - Showed solid PG skills with an injured Paul.
Stephen Curry - More efficient score, worlds better passer, and creates more TOs on defense.
Jason Kidd - Oldie but his PG skills are top notch, better rebounder, better defender.
Andre Miller - Again top notch PG skills, better rebounder, better defender.
Deron Williams - Self explanatory.
Steve Nash - The best shooter in the NBA and the best passer.
Chauncey Billups - Better PG skills, better rebounding, better defense.
Russell Westbrook - Better PG skills, better rebounding, better defense.
Tony Parker - Edges out Brooks as a slightly more efficient scorer and slightly better passer and defender.
Steve Blake - Top notch passing skills and just as good as raining 3s. Both suck at D and rebounding. Passing > scoring for a PG.
Ramon Sessions - Better passer and defender.
Baron Davis - Better passer and better defender when motivated.
He'd only be an upgrade for the Kings (Evans is a SG, people), Memphis (not of fan of Conley), and Minnesota (if they insist on Flynn at PG). With that said, Brooks is not a bad player and he's a definite rotation player but he's not a PG and he's too small to play SG.

I sort of agree with this. Right now Lebron is the most hated basketball player in the league. 'The Decision' proved that he isn't a wordsman. He, DWade and the rest of the crew need to stop doing interviews and just go away for awhile until the season starts.

Cliff, what are your thoughts on the likely Matt Barnes to the Raps deal?
I've always liked Barnes when I've seen him with GSW, PHO and most recently ORL, but I'm not sure if he isn't redundant on the Raps. He seems to give you pretty much what Kleiza will and with the development of Weems and DeRozan the depth looks to be great at the SG/SF spot, especially when you factor in Belinelli and Barbosa getting some burn at the 2.
The Raptors certainly look like a team that will push the ball and play more of a run and gun style, which should make watching the games at least interesting, but I'm still not sure how that starting lineup will shake out.

I like it. I wish they would have made a play for him the last time he was a free agent (last year or the year before?). Deal might not be done though (Barnes deal hits a snag). I think he makes the Kleiza deal look pretty bad. Barnes isn't quite as good on the offensive end, but he defense/toughness/attitude is far better than Kleiza. He would have been a great addition to the team last year instead Turk when offense wasn't a problem and the defense was embarassing... to put it nicely.I sure hope Triano lets them run. Every guy they got, including the bigs, can get up and down the floor and finish. The problems are going to come when they are forced to run their offense out of the half court. While they have a lot of great athletes, not many can create their own shot or knock down a three (The streak may come to an end). I think we'll see a lot of Bargnani in the post trying to in
Still have to wait and see what happens with Jose before we'll know what the lineup looks like. Hopefully they can move him with either Banks/Evans (expiring) and/or Bellini for a center.
Jack / Barbosa / Banks
Derozan / Weems / Bellini
Barnes / Kleiza
The bigs are a giant mess. You'd think they'd want to move Bargnani to PF but there really isn't a center on the roster. Johnson/Davis/Dorsey/Evans are all undersized. Alabi probably won't see much game time.
Rambling before my first coffee if that doesn't make sense...
Didn't the Barnes to Toronto deal blow up overnight?

Yes/No.They are still trying to work it out. Deal will probably get done. This isn't someone saying no to the deal. Just needs some Cap tweaking to get it done which Colangelo is great at.

I'm excited to see Derozan's progression. His shooting has looked more polished in the summer league.
Cliff Clavin

I've only caught the highlights on NBA.com... he definitely hasn't lost his hops. Him and Weems have been destroying teams. Hopefully a tiny little bit of that will come into the regular season.
Sack-Religious
Footballguy
Me too. His size, build and game remind me a lot of Tracy McGrady during his rookie season on the Raptors.McGrady was a better rebounder and saw the court better, but DeRozan IMO takes better shots resulting in a better FG%. Both had shaky outside shots to begin their careers, but I've been reading some positive things about DeRozan working on his shooting, both from mid-range and out to the 3 over the summer, so that's a very positive development. If he can get a little more consistency and range on his shots, the game should open up more for him.I don't know if DeRozan will end up being an All-Star, all-around player like McGrady, but there are some similarities between them (aside from both of them being so unfortunate looking). If he continues his development, I can see him being a consistent 15-18 ppg, 4-5 rpg and 2 apg type player.

Cavaliers fans are taking their discarded LeBron James gear to South Beach, according to SportsIllustrated.com.With James moving on to a new kingdom in Miami next season, his hurting hometown fans cannot get their James gear off their backs quick enough.
Cleveland organizers plan to ship the wine, gold, white and navy Cavs garb — tainted with No. 23 — to South Florida homeless shelters.
Following James’ dramatic one-hour, nationally televised “Decision” earlier this month, the jerseys that once dominated Cleveland closets are quickly piling up at donation drop-off sites, according to a local restaurant manager.

This is not surprising. Aside from LBJ diehards and the people of Miami, no one really liked his choice.

Exactly what I was thinking. Why would Magic ever think about going to another team when he led the Lakers to a championship his rookie year with Kareem out in game 6. Not to mention he also signed a 20-25 year contract with the Lakers, IIRC. After that, he wasn't going anywhere.

If Brockman does in fact get traded from Sac to MIL, Kings fans will miss the guy tremendously. While he has limitted ability (and height at PF), he is a great hustle player that did all the small things (setting hard screens, fighting for every loose ball and rebound, playing physical in the paint, etc. etc.). Coming off the bench as a team's 4th big man is a great spot for him and I hope Brockman gets consistent minutes in MIL. What he brings to the court may not show up in the box score, but it is definitely beneficial to his team.

Rose speaks on Lebron and other things
Q: What have you been up to this summer since the last time we talked to you a couple months ago?
DR: A lot. I've just been working on my game. Hopefully, you see it. I've just been working on my shot, getting everything better and it's coming along.
Q: You and [assistant coach] Randy Brown are always working on your long distance game after practice, but do feel as confident as you ever have that you can start of the season draining threes.
DR: I think that I can. The way that I've been shooting the ball lately, it's pretty good. I've got a lot more confidence and that's all you need and hopefully they drop.
Q: Is your long range shot the one thing you've focused on most this summer?
DR: Definitely. Just working on my shot. I know that if I extend that, I'll be a tough player to guard in the NBA and it will open other people up.
Q: Free agency is obviously still going on, what do you think of the moves that you guys have made up to this point?
DR: I think we made the right moves. We got [Carlos] Boozer for the half-court game in the playoffs. The fast paced game is not always going to be on your side, so we got somebody we can throw it to in the post. With [Ronnie] Brewer and with [Kyle] Korver, [they are] just guys that like running, shooting, athletic slashers and C.J. Watson who just signed, he's a guy who can run the one and the two. And he's the type of player where he's smart. I hear he's a good guy and we need him.
Q: Are you looking forward to working the pick and roll with Boozer all season long. Have you talked to him about it?
DR: (Laughs) I wouldn't say all season long, but as long as they want me to I'm going to do it.
Q: Let's set the record straight now: Did you talk to LeBron at all over the course of the last couple months?
DR: I texted him. I texted him a little bit, but didn't really do any recruiting. I really didn't know what was going on. I think he didn't know what was going on until the end. [James, Wade and Bosh] were just having fun being recruited and they're the type of people that like it.
Q: Do you regret that at all not going out more and calling him and putting more of a recruiting pitch together for him? Do you care how that is perceived?
DR: I wouldn't say that. If anyone knows me, especially in my hometown, they know that I don't like being in the public like that or getting all the attention like that. To me I think it was a no brainer, so he made the decision.
Q: A no brainer for him to come to Chicago?
DR: Yeah.
Q: Were you surprised he didn't come to Chicago?
DR: Yeah, but the season must continue. It's just going to be fun. The East is just going to be fun this year, but it's going to be tough.
Q: Did you talk to Wade or Bosh at all?
DR: I talked to Bosh, I didn't talk to Wade.
Q: When you talked to Bosh did you get the sense that he was coming to Chicago?
DR: A little bit. A little bit, then he went to Miami, so it must have been something else.
Q: I know how competitive you are, how much are you now looking forward to facing the Heat?
DR: I can't wait. Great players playing great games, show up in great games. For a game, for them to all be on that team it's going to be ... every time they play somebody's going to be chasing them.
Q: There was so much made of free agency, is there a part of you now that's even more comfortable and confident knowing that this is now your team for as long as you play in Chicago, especially since another big name didn't come in?
DR: I wouldn't say that. It makes me feel a little bit better that they really believe in me and have trust in me about decisions that they make. It just means a lot man. A little guy coming from the southside of Chicago got his own team. It shows that just hard work and dedication really pays off.
Q: Do you feel at all like you've taken that mantle over for Michael now?
DR: Noooo. (Laughs) I'm not even near him, not in the same shoes as him, not even close to him. Not even be mentioned with his name. Not yet. Until I win a couple of championships, so until that day, that's when you could even mention my name with his.
Q: In terms of being the face of the Chicago Bulls though, you know that's you now going forward ...
DR: Yeah, I know that. It should be a good thing. It's something I'm not scared of. That's why you play the game.
Q: Did you see the comments he made at the golf tournament on Sunday about how he wouldn't have called up Magic and Larry about playing on the same team?
DR: (Shakes head) Honestly? Are you for real?
Q: (Explains story) In other words, do you want to be the guy on your team?
DR: Yeah, why wouldn't I want to be. That's the point of playing the game. That's the greatest thing right now. I came to a team where they didn't make the playoffs, not for a couple of years. No one was really interested in the Bulls like that in Chicago, not like [it was]. And I'm making it back exciting. I'm from Chicago, it would mean a lot if I would just bring back one championship there. Or even get past the first round, the city would go crazy. So for me to even bring that team back to like the old days, it would mean so much to this city.
Q: Is there an amount of personal pride that goes into that since, like you said, you are a Chicago kid?
DR: Yeah, I want to be that guy. I want to be that guy that does that.
Q: In other words, you don't want to be mentioned with Jordan, but you want to fill his shoes?
DR: Yeah, I want to be that guy. I want to be the reason why the Bulls are back to what they were 10, 12 years ago or something like that.
Q: What has your brief experience with Coach Thibodeau been like up to this point?
DR: He's been good with me. He's a guy who's a workaholic, staying in the office all day. I'll go shoot in the morning, he's always in the office all the way 'til 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock at night and he knows his stuff.
Q: Have you guys already had a couple late night film sessions?
DR: (Laughs) Nah, it wasn't anything like that, but he called me at a decent hour and it was fine.
Q: What have you been up to this summer since the last time we talked to you a couple months ago?
DR: A lot. I've just been working on my game. Hopefully, you see it. I've just been working on my shot, getting everything better and it's coming along.

I'd rather have the GM be honest with me, instead of telling me one day that I've got a chance to start and am part of the team's long-term rebuilding efforts, only to ship me off to __________ tomorrow for a future 2nd round pick and a bag of peanuts.

They're all getting jerked around, but only one ends up with a happy ending - the guy who gets dealt. The other two who are stuck with the team will probably be too depressed to function. Then again I'm sure they're all going to do their absolute best to be healthy until the deal goes down.If you were playing on a 15-win team, and knew you weren't part of the team's long-term plans, wouldn't you welcome the news?!Gr00vus said:
