If Moses Malone was alive, he would let Brooks wear the #24 for the Rockets. but he got permission from Jo Chee (Zhou Qi) to wear #9.
Brooks and Fred are the only ones to be responsible and perform in high stakes situations. The rest of the "franchise" players are all potential which as Barkely would say, "that just means you have done anything!"
the level of basketball experience, knowledge and/or wisdom Brooks will impart to the youngsters just went up another notch
From the 2nd worst shooting percentage, 2nd most technical fouls in the NBA season, and "under no circumstances will the Grizzlies bring him back" to a $20M/year contract and lighting up and medaling in a FIBA tournament. Popcorn.gif
https://www.fiba.basketball/basketb...ach-and-best-defensive-player-awards-revealed The Best Defensive Player is Dillon Brooks, who was more than glad to accept any defensive responsibilities for Bronze medalists Canada. His physical one-on-one defense against the likes of Luka Doncic and Evan Fournier played a huge role in important victories for The Land of Maple Leaf. Moreover, he was an integral part of one of the best defensive units in the World Cup.
LOL.... you asked for the best case scenario.... Just admit it and say there is none and you have no optimism instead of this charade.
I think it enough that every other team will hate him. I am starting to warm up to this guy. I don't mind a big mouth so much if they can back it up. He sure did in the FIBA.
Who said Beverley and Tucker are better players than Brooks? Slap yourself please. not saying Brooks is going to repeat this performance but the guy is not going to stand around and score 2 points like them.
It is when you take off your hater shades..... Maybe we should see how the season plays out instead of just assuming the FO/coaching staff will be okay with Brooks taking a bunch of bad shots.
nobody cares if they're "ok with it", his deal is fully guaranteed, he has no reason to change at this point after getting 86 mil worth of validation that he was right
This all reminds me of Westbrook discussion post MVP. Everyone's gonna dig in. Just gotta let it roll and see what happens. (I for one predict chaos).
