The Phoenix Suns made a qualifying offer to Aaron Brooks. However, it seems that the Sacramento Kings are also interested in his services and may be making a pitch to him to convince him to join the team, according to New York Daily News.
The Kings are in need a of a point guard now that Beno Udrih has been traded and they see Brooks as a player capable of being able to fill that void.
Don’t be surprised if other teams come out and make offers to Brooks too. It would make sense for the Los Angeles Lakers to make him an offer as they are currently in need of a quicker, younger point guard to replace Derek Fisher in the starting line-up who can also shoot the three. Brooks ticks all the boxes there and could probably be had for all or part of the MLE (as long as the MLE still exists after the new CBA) - the lure of being a starter for the Lakers would also have to be interesting for Brooks.
He had a fairly quiet season last year after being traded from the Houston Rockets to the Phoenix Suns. He spent most of the year on the bench too. The year before however he had career numbers of 19.6 ppg and 5.6 apg as a starter.

Could Lamar Odom be headed to play in Europe? It seems so, according to a tweet Lamar made to fellow Los Angeles Lakers player Pau Gasol.
In the tweet, Odom says:
@paugasol it’s ya boy@RealLamarOdom ! My dude really want 2 talk 2 u! Really thinking about going 2 play in Europe after this season!Interesting! So not only does Odom want to play in Europe, but he doesn’t want to do it now like most players due to the probable lockout (although, Lamar is close to NBPA President Derek Fisher, so maybe he knows something we don’t?) and he’d want to head to Europe in 2012 after his contract with the Lakers ends.
I wonder how his wife Khloe Kardashian would feel about the move across the pond?
