Aaron Brooks, Little Chris Rock, is already out of the NBA
Just read where he was playing in China. Seems like just yesterday that he was leader of the Rockets team that pushed the Lakers to 7 games on their way to a championship. In today out today.

what are you talking about?? Brooks signed to play in China when there WAS a lockout. If you probably dont know his team went to the finals, China does not release players early to the NBA like other countries do...other players were able to get out in China because they had teams that were eliminated.
he wasnt out that easily because of skills...he chose to leave because there was no NBA.

Most of the other guys got back in earlier Boykins, Chandler, Martin, JR Smith, few others still gone like Kyle Singler and Kirilenko

Oh, ok. I didn't know that. Thought he was starter material in the NBA, didn't hear he left to play because of the lockout. There was more talk of who was going abroad to play and didn't than those who didn't say anything and did.

J.R. Smith was also in China and he's back in the NBA. Not sure why Brooks isn't back yet.

I thought Aaron Brooks signed or was traded to Phoenix before he went to the Far East?

Brooks was pretty sick. Good backup PG minutes and could be a starter out West with teams that run and gun
