Suns acquire Brooks, deal Dragic

The Phoenix Suns have acquired point guard Aaron Brooks in a trade with the Houston Rockets.

The Suns are trying to find some pieces to put them over the top and assure them of a playoff berth in the Western Conference.

Brooks won’t start because of Steve Nash, but be his primary backup. It will give the Suns one of the best backup points guard in the entire league.

In other ways, this could be seen as a cost-cutting move for the Suns because Brooks will be a free agent after the season and is unlikely to be un-signed.

The move is a bit surprising because Dragic had shown signs of being a very good point guard behind Nash and Brooks might not even be a major upgrade.
