The Phoenix Suns have announced that they have withdrawn their qualifying offer to guard Aaron Brooks.

Brooks is now an unrestricted free agent.

Brooks was acquired by the Suns in 2011 in exchange for Goran Dragic and a first round pick.

He averaged 9.6 points and 4.2 assists in 25 games with the Suns, but spent last season playing for the Guangdong Southern Tigers in the Chinese Basketball Association.

The move comes after drafting guard Kendall Marshall, and bringing back Dragic as a free agent from the Houston Rockets.

The Suns also still have Sebastian Telfair under contract.

    Dragic is a horrible point guard, horrible. He's better at the 2 guard but please don't use this guy at the point, please

    Now if we can just find a way for a sucker to take Lopez, we'd be going places! On another note, part of me is not worried if Gordon comes to the Suns next year. Worst case scenario is they totally stink, get a top 5 pick, and then make a move for either James Harden or Tyreke Evans.

    What are you talking about? If that is what you think, then stick to tennis. Dragic is an above average point that is one of the quicker 1's in the league. He can lead this team better than Brooks ever did/would. He will continue to grow and get better. And I've never known God to get involved in sports...

    Totally agree. Grandpa Dale hasn't done much homework. Dragic was my #1 free agent. I'm so glad we got him back. Makes losing Steve sting a little less.

    We never should've traded for Chris Rock in the first place. I can't believe we were lucky enough to get Dragic back after that terrible trade.
