Would you take Marson Brooks for the GS pick?

I agree with those who have said No. And it has nothing to do with the summer league game.
We have a good young core at all postions EXCEPT PG. While I think Mo can start for several more years, that doesn't mean I'm not in favor of getting a good young PG. What I'd like to see happen is the Jazz draft or sign a PG next year and have him develop under Mo's mentorship, gradually increasing his PT until he's splitting time with Mo and then Williams assuming a Watson-type role.
Outside of that, we'll also need a tough 4/5 to assume Kanter's role as Kanter replaces Jefferson. And depending on what happens with Marvin Williams, we may need a big SF. Brooks might be a nice bench player, but I like Hayward and Burks more as wings.

I would give a lot less. Rumors are teams are black balling Brooklyn and Orlando because they are spitting in the face of the new CBA. We are still moving towards 4-5 super teams and nobody wants to help Brooklyn get there.
What does this mean? Orlando will be screwed, and we will lose another year of basketball the second this CBA expires. Hopefully the owners will stick to their guns this time.

Yup. not sure what the NBA accomplished from the lockout other then pissing off the fans. i guess we'll be doing this again sooner then later.
I would take Brooks. He is long, athletic, and can score. BUT, the GSW pick is too much. Brooks was a #25 1st round pick. I would offer a Top 20 protected 1st round pick for him. If the Nets are willing to that deal with their old friends, the Jazz, then I would do it.
A future unit of Burks, Hayward, Favors, Kanter, Brooks, and TBD PG would be a lot of potentially good young players.

at this point cj miles is a better player
He is an athlete who cannot play defense or pass effectively. Also he's smaller than Burks or Hayward. I see no need to make a trade for a chucker like Brooks.
He has a 7'1 wingspan though, so he is significantly longer than Burks or Hayward.

Funny that this is just how Locke describes Burks...
no way.
Lol at the 1st one. I remember how Greg Monroe was one of the only players playing defense and how he disrupted John Wall's dunk attempt at the end of the game.
Forever made me like Greg Monroe.

I remember Locke saying something like, "Burks is too cool for school" before the draft, what ever that means, but he proved thats not what he's about during the season.

by the way pj3 looking more like a lottery pick then the 28th pick. He's done well on the perimeter and in the post.
