Dillon's plus/minus has been negative every year in the league. How is that possible if he is elite defender and OK in offence?
If Brooks was not such a blabber and did not make headlines because of it, I do not think people would have disliked him as much.

No. But still need to see how the last 2 years salary look like to see if it's really bad, or just an overpay. I think that Eason is much better long run but I'm ok with him coming off the bench for 1-2 more years
Yep! That’s it. I’d add that Whitmore also has a junkyard dog about him. I like things. Jalen is the remaining fruitcake, hopefully he gets with the program, too.
His +/- has been POSITIVE. You’re probably looking at OFF/DEF ratings. IIt is a bit strange, but I care more about the scoreboard, not some nerd stats. Scoreboard is moving in the right direction with him on the floor.
Then it's a bigger no for me then. We overpaid for a dude to b a starter that was rejected from his old team. 1. Taking a starting spot from our youngsters 2. If he loses his starting spot, 20 mil to b a bench? That's a sht contract. I might b wrong but he's gonna b the forum punching bag with this sht contract. Got exposed by Ole man lebron, got rejected by his old team right away, and we decided to overpay for him to b a starter
Rodman on the court had plenty of junkyard dog in him but off the court wore a wedding dress and more recently a mini skirt, would that qualify Rodman as a hybrid mix being a junkyard fruitcake dog? Jalen needs to play with that fire(fight) like he did against Suns/Hawks when he was going at it with Booker/Young&Murray If he does that more consistent then he could join the rest in that exclusive VIP junkyard fruitcake dog club not all dogs are the same, but they at least bring some level of fight with no fear You clearly like things about the junkyard dogs who are fruit cakes (Rodman etc)
I think you have to answer this with the imperative in mind handed down from the top. WIN NOW With that in mind, our options were limited and Brooks fit a need and despite his baggage, fit that need best IMO,
Man Stone got bent over on this one period. 20 million? Hell no. Weird thing is people say he's a good defender, but his #'s do not read like that. Metrics suck. If he proves us wrong then ok, but right now he's just a DB who can't shoot and just got booted off his team. Hope I'm wrong.
You seem really dumb. Different trade. and more of a salary dump. Plus Alpha Kaba might end up being a sleeper. He has a legit NBA frame.
He’s been on a winning team. So has Vanvleet. It should help with the culture. Hoping for another trade .
Usually when we add a new player the GARM comes around pretty quickly and the "approval rating" if you will is pretty good at first. And then there's Dillon Brooks.
This is clearly an Ime signing, and as I’ve said before, if that’s the price for locking Ime up I’m all for it. He wants a culture change and damn do we need it. Do I love DB? No, but if the declining salary structure is steep, we could be looking to offload a top 15-defender as he’s entering his prime as a severe discount - that won’t be a challenge. And in the meantime, he will give us some toughness and fit into Ime’s scheme.
