Official Dillon the Villain Brooks Thread

[Phrazbit]

He can opt out and do what Jalen Brunson and Wemby did. Take a pay cut for the good of the team. Suns has already paid him more than enough.

He literally cannot. You can't renegotiate to a lower number in the NBA, the contracts are fully guaranteed. Wemby and Brunson didn't opt out they were up for extensions when they signed those deals.

I forgot about that trade... the wrong Brooks.

That was comedy.

I don't think I would have wanted a young Brooks on the team though, so it was for the best. I think his antics and unseriousness in Memphis helped set the tone for that team in a really bad way.

Also, as much as Oubre irritated me with selfish play and awful defense, we kinda needed a guy with some swagger after several miserable seasons.

That deal ended up working out, surprisingly. I liked Oubre for what he brought mentally. His play was up and down. I can see a lot of similarities between adding Oubre back then to Brooks now, their attitude helps this team more than their play.

I imagine that's been something Dillon has thought about over the years though. He was almost dealt here and then eventually was. Rather than being a young prospect here though he's a veteran looked to for leadership. Definitely an odd situation.

Dillon Brooks says his Phoenix Suns “villain” role has evolved from trash talk and controversy into leadership.

“It’s not just like an evil, creepy character,” Brooks said.

“I’m using it to show how competitive you can be… Get out of your comfort zone.”

He's giving away too many secrets...

Nah, he still has a really punchable face and so long as he keeps yapping at opponents and pushing them to retaliate then it's fine. It's hard not to get caught up in the action in game also so even if players try to watch for him and avoid him, eventually that will catch up to them,

My thinking is if they think you are a psycho, that helps you. If they now know you are only acting like a pyscho, they will just ignore him.

Yes, he does.

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension through 2029-30, Mike George of Klutch Sports tells ESPN. Brooks has become a key part of the Suns two-way, hard-nosed culture under Jordan Ott and lands a new guaranteed long-term deal.

I suspect the Suns are not going to be able to keep everyone going forward.

Players will want to come to Phoenix because the word will be, the Suns take care of their own.

I approve.

Next year Bridges and Green. I'd love to extend Booker for 10 million less a year

it would be nice! I can see Booker accepting a discounted long-term contract with an eye towards an ownership position or some cushy job with the organization.

dillon brooks is a sought after commodity - a rare breed - i'm flattered/honored/intrigued

it means he believes and really does want to be here (for now) - i gotta give credit to ish - ott - and book for this - i also wonder if the addition of miles played a part in dillon's decision to be friendly

the game has changed - it's moneyball now - how and why you cut up the pie has never been so crucial - max salaries come with severe risks - keeping a loaded team together becomes far less feasible

we got williams gillespie and goody for 3 years - just signed dillon to another 3 years - starting to sound like a 3 year plan or 4 if you count last year

we're making a run - or we're trying to lol - we have our starters and bench mob locked in - nothing is set in stone of course but we have laid the foundation

yall better get on my 50 win bandwagon- leave that play-in talk behind because we are alive again ladies and gentlemen

Disagree on all 3 especially Book. I don’t expect him to find the the fountain youth.

Kind of what I suspected. If players play hard for the Suns, they get rewarded.

Goodwin joined Jason Kidd as the only Suns guards in the last 30 years to grab at least 100 offensive rebounds and 100 steals in a season. Since the turn of the century, he became one of seven NBA players standing 6-foot-3 or shorter to achieve it.
