I'm surprised Brooks is getting any criticism. He's exactly what we need. He's shooting well from 3. He's defense is solid. He's on a contract that's nowhere near a max, and he'll never demand a max. He's not ball dominant and is a great tone setter for Ime's style. When you look at the breakdown of our best lineups, pretty much all involve Brooks.

In my opinion, the lineup of Amen / Green / Brooks / Bari / Sengun is the best mix of offense and defense. Plus, it puts our best prospect - Amen - in the best spot to succeed. In that vein, Brooks has been perfect, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's eventually extended.

The larger question is FVV. If we have the guts to let him walk, we would really have the ability to lock in Bari, Tari, and Amen.

Agreed with everything you said here except Dillon Brooks is not passing the ball lol he's taking the shot. And he's earned that on this squad because he's probably the best and most consistent shooter here.

I wonder if Fred will take a 20m/3year extension type of deal and be the 6th man. That would be a pretty solid scenario.
