The decision comes on the heels of speculation that the Nets' promising young sixth man might miss most of the preseason from tendinitis in his right foot.

His role with the team also seemed to be diminishing, after the Nets added wings Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson and Josh Childress; Brooks is no longer a starter for the Nets.
