Well Rafer is our starter, and Brooks, although a nice prospect, is just too small. I see Early Boykins all over again in him. He is a rookie, so he does need some time.
Right now though, Franics can be a nice backup, but his contract is 3 million expiring, so I would be willing to part with him for the right deal.
We just need a true point guard on this team. Rafer is doing a decent job at running the O, but it seems as if he is not the true PG the Rockets need. Thats where the deal I proposed comes into play.
We do have the 25th pick as well, but I was hoping to keep it for a decent PF/C combo player. But like the Francis scenario, if the deal is a good one, then I think we would be willing to part with it as well.
