Outright false information lol... I opined that Memphis didn't have to say anything about not signing him but chose to anyway. How was that corrected? I'm 37 years old Robert.
I think Jeff Green and FVV can calm him down, sometimes you need guys like him…Ron Artest and Dennis Rodman won a lot of championships….Draymond Green won 4 and would not have won them without him. We are looking to build a culture like Miami

Dennis Rodman 5.8 FGA Draymond 7.1 FGA Artest 11.4 FGA and he was actually a decent scorer Brooks 13.1 FGA with no real offensive ability other than catch and shoot 3s. But loves to dribble and take pull-ups. Loves to slowly lurch to the basket and get blocked. Loves stupid Kobe fadeaways. All on a team with 2 All stars and a very good scorer in Bane.
Right. The key to whether this signing ends up working is if Brooks can buy into being the defensive leader and culture setter while being the 4th/5th option on offense who really should just take open catch and shoot threes, transition buckets, and whatnot. If he buys into that this signing could work really well. I’m skeptical that happens but at least have some hope Ime can get him to play in a way that helps. If Silas was still coaching this signing would make me puke.
i think $20M/yr is very fair for a 2nd team All-Defensive player nowadays. it's DB's character issues, style of play, off-court distraction that worries me. the most hated team just added the most hated player in the league. not sure what Dillon Brooks can teach our youngsters? the trash talking skills? can't imagine the distraction affects he brings to the team. the Rockets will have even more hard time to lure stars to Houston because of him. ok toughness and defense right? i assume this $80millions guy is going to start at the 3, as a mentor to his back-up Tari Eason and Cam Whitmore, you need to spent that money to teach Tari Eason & Cam Whitmore to be tough and to play defense? this is a joke there're different "Dogs", Tari and Cam both has the dog in them, they need the likes of FVV / Jeff Green / Brook Lopez / EG ... type to show them professionalism and how to succeed a long NBA career, how to earn respect, NOT the immature/cocky kind
It's 20 mil for him to start, and it's already sht bc he is not worth that much especially after that playoff performance vs Ole man lebron. U then have to realize that one of our youngster will outplay him bc like I said brook isn't worth 20 mil. Now we have paid 20 mil for a bench player, disgusting. I hear people bring up his playstyle/presence like pat bev. No way in hell would I ever pay pat bev 20 mil.
If he just knew his role in the offense (corner three and cut to the basket) The % is the matchup's shooting
Interesting point, I did some research, and here are the salaries of other 2022 Second Team All-Defensive members. I didn't include Bam or Draymond as they're contracts are higher for obvious reasons. In this light, a second-team all-defensive player 20 million with the new higher salary cap is about average. You could say they are better offensive players and it's a bit of an overpay but being a losing team rebuilding may have contributed to that. https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2023.html#all_leaders OG Anunoby: Team 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 Toronto Raptors $17,357,143 $18,642,857 $19,928,571 Signed 4-yr/$72M extension Monday, December 21, 2020.

I understand. I watched 3 games of last season with Brooks playing with Memphis. The whole team was just throwing shots up…Dillion shot a off balance 3 pointer and the coach did not even say anything…3 games and the coach never told him anything. Honestly, I think the coach knew he could not control him anymore. I really do not think he will do that to Ime….trust me. Jeff Green and FVV is there as well. Brooks needs to know that he is there for defense, we have KPJ for shooting
/thread. I don't think anyone actually dislikes Dillon Brooks, the basketball player. Everyone is just up in arms about Dillon Brooks' contract.
I like dillon brooks. At least he will make another awful season somewhat entertaining That is a horrendous contract though considering what other players got
No, Dillon Brooks, the basketball player is the reason why his contract is so bad. He's basically a 6'6 version of Tate with a bigger ego and we're stuck with him for 4 years. If he was a good player, then the contract wouldn't matter.
I think Ryan Anderson got the exact same deal back in the day. 4/80. That was seen as an albatross but since the rise of the cap you could argue Brooks is on a friendlier deal. Is Brooks better than Anderson? I’d also say yes. If his shot wasn’t falling (which was pretty often), Anderson was useless. so if it’s any consolation, I’d say this deal is at least better than the one for RA lol
Yes, I agree, Anderson was garbage....but at least he was okay with a bench role mitigating the damage he could do to the team. Brooks is considerably more detrimental to the team AND he'll demand a major role on offense. I mean, it's a toss up really. Current Ryan Anderson and current Dillon Brooks. Both are trash no one wants on the team.
