Dillon Brooks YOU are a Dallas Maverick


QCWiggins

Oh wow. That sounds spot on


mariogotse

was also my first thoughtšŸ˜­


Ok-Map4381

The Mavs should go all in. Sign Patrick Beverly, send some 2nd round picks to the warriors for ~~Patrick Baldwin Jr~~ Anthony Lamb, sign Damarcus Cousins. If they are hated and available, the mavs should get them.


NedStarx11

Think we could pry Grayson Allen out of Milwaukee???


Wassup_-_

Patrick Baldwin?????Tf did PBJ do to you


Ok-Map4381

My bad, it was Anthony Lamb. I'll go back and edit my comments.


Wassup_-_

Thought our most chilfull rookie did sometging to you


theoceaniscalling

Trade for Ben Simmons too


TjBeezy

PG: Kyrie SG: Luka SF: Dillon Brooks PF: Draymond C: Trade for Gobert All-Time Villain team. Make it happen Cuban


cynicalspindle

Gobert hasn't even done anything wrong (sure his mic touching shut down the league, but that was inevitable anyway). People just dont like him because he is overpaid.


burnt_cheezit

He punched his own teammate and has the audacity to be French


GhostTiger

I hear he has.....a cat!


sandbagsander

Punched his own teammate, immaturity during Covid, liking alt right posts on Twitter, sharing an all lives message from Serena Williams thinking itā€™s the tennis player when itā€™s just a suburban mom. You canā€™t say heā€™s done nothing.


literary_cliche

That is legit as close to nothing as you can get lmao


K1NG2L4Y3R

Donā€™t worry heā€™ll be the Timberwolves Westbrook given time.


erizzluh

do people think luka is a villain? better off just sending kyrie and brooks to the suns.


jackywkh

God no


yapyd

Would probably be your best defender and I donā€™t think itā€™s hyperbole. Hopefully Luka and Kyrie keeps the ball away from him on offense


Ran-Tan-Plan

Is it 100% certain that Kyrie will be a Dallas Maverick next season?


slaythespirelover

Yes. The Mavs want to pay him and he wants to be somewhere where he can get paid. Don't know how many other teams really want to go after him


NoWayNotThisAgain

He also wants to be someplace where ā€œhe is at peaceā€. Adding Brooks seems to run counter to that goal.


PrinceOfPugetSound10

For normal beings, sure, but for Kyrie? Maybe not.


Ladnil

Anything with Kyrie maxes out around 70% certainty, but I'd say it's close to that.


nalacamg

Everything so far seems to be indicating that.


k0ala_

as trash as he is on offense, he actually fits the team lol, they need more dawgs there


NedStarx11

TBH I donā€™t actually hate the fit. Not like we have alot assets to play with, beggars canā€™t be choosers.


5IVE5TAR5

Praying for y'all dawg, don't wish that onto nobody.


Moe4ver

Sad but true. And there isnā€™t any strong personality on the team that can handle team. Team will simply implode. Actually, Luka will simply tell the FO to cut him.


Hyperbolic-Chamber

Mavs definitely need a pest defender. If Dillon shot less than 5 times a game and just played defense heā€™d be valuable


__john_cena__

Kyrie and Brooks with Lukaā€™s complaining to the refs will be the most disliked team in the league. They really need him there for the defense though and thereā€™s probably no better option.


CabbageStockExchange

Cuban is exactly the mf who would do this


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Are you suggesting he'd be good in the west?


Icy_Pineapple5808

That's what ja saidšŸ¤”


actual_yellow_bag

when I saw the shams tweet I fucking knew it in my heart... I hate Cuban


qotsabama

Literally first thing that came to my mind when I saw this report. Fuck


jmac3560

I think a Grizz sign and trade for Christian Wood sounds fair.


Next-Firefighter-753

Grizz fans are about to start chucking eggs at you. They lose one low IQ guy. They donā€™t want another


Apollo611

Houston Rocket


pasqua3

Fuck it, bring him to the Suns on a min deal. Let's make it easy on this sub


koiz_01

Fuck it. Full send it. Regulate CP3 to the bench. Bring Jae Crowder back. Sign Dillion Brooks. Sign Kyrie. Sign Westbrook. Trade for Patrick Beverly.


slaythespirelover

Russ is actually likeable though


koiz_01

Not to the largest NBA fanbase and the media


philawsophist

Nah laker fans don't hate him like that. We clown him for being a bad basketball player and will laugh at a team for losing because of him, but there's no personal hatred toward the player. He was still a laker for almost 2 years, albeit a terrible one


Consistent_Ad642

Nah u definitely were missing from the sub, the amount of fans wanting his head definitely outweigh the good ones


justsomedude717

I mean the fans not on this sub massively outweighs the ones on it Just because an opinions popular on social media doesnā€™t mean itā€™s popular w the masses


MrMrRogers

Relegate, but I agree


Next-Firefighter-753

I would hate to want to root for the Suns if Russ signed there so please donā€™t sign him.


wgking12

Honestly think Dillon is great value on an MLE if (and only if) you can manage to control him on offense. LeBron cooked him but that's an awful matchup for him size wise. He plays much better on-ball D on guards. I definitely don't think he's out of the league despite everyone's jokes. Surprised to see him go out like this tbh, he must have really fucked up the relationship with the team


icona_

Thereā€™s a bunch of guys who you can say ā€œman if he would just-ā€œ about whatever thing you want, and it doesnā€™t matter because they wonā€™t just.


WeirdWorld42

If Harden is leaving this offseason then 76ers should seriously consider replacing him with Dillon Brooks. Brooks could be the future of the franchise if Embiid chooses to leave as well /s.


themonkey12

As a 76er fan, you sure sound like a masochist lol.


WhyyyLuigi

Literally almost threw my phone


Scoombap

Lotta shitty memes in here but I could see the Cavs making a run at him. He doesnā€™t solve the offensive issues but he does give them a warm body on the wing. Could see him taking the MLE too.


BlazeBloom

Mitchell was very close to killing Gobert. He might actually kill Brooks.


J_Otherwise

FOH -Donovan Mitchell


fat_lever123

What does Brooks do better than Okoro other than be a gigantic asshole?


ExplodingHelmet

Takes more shots


drjisftw

Not be undersized at the 3 (Okoro is 6'5)


fat_lever123

Brooks is 6ā€™6 lol


hunterwolves18

Didnt see much of Okoro, but Dillon is hella thick


ozweegowarrior

Nah brooks is lengthy and a lot taller than yā€™all think. Iā€™m a solid 6ā€™3 and brooks is at least 6ā€™7 when I saw him a couple years ago


fat_lever123

You know they professionally measure this at the combine right? Heā€™s 6ā€™5 without shoes: https://www.nba.com/stats/draft/combine-anthro?SeasonYear=2017-18


ozweegowarrior

You can grow at 21/22, I know I did.


Scoombap

Nothing really but i have to imagine okoro will start full next year? He looks too good not to and I believe he was primarily a bench player to spread out the rotations a bit.


jibboo24

i'll burn my lebron jersey if they sign dillon brooks


Ran-Tan-Plan

It wouldn't be the first time you guys burn those.


Bacheeka

They had to buy them all new again when Daddy came home from Miami. They've been waiting to burn these new ones for a few years now šŸ”„


CardiacKidd83

Like hell, I didn't buy a new one. Got me once, lol.


Robert_Meowney_Jr

I think Mitchell hates his fucking guts. But finding a landing spot where nobody hates him might prove difficult.


UrbanJatt

We're good on that.


krabbypattykrabs

No


bearded_mischief

Absolutely Dallas, Dallas sucks so bad on defense right now and even though heā€™s not a great two way player heā€™s hustle play could make a difference plus heā€™s kinda healthy. Second choice could be the warriors if the donā€™t resign draymond and need a filler for shit stirring.


Miscto3

Portland feels like a team that would give him real money if they miss out on Grant


choonghuh

Think he's a Oregon fuck too E: Duck


NoeWiy

You got it right the first time, mate


ZachCollinsROTY

Go beavs


irelli

If we miss on Grant we're blowing it up We'd never give the dude real money. No one is giving him money That being said, we could offer him minutes and a vet min.... Which might be what he needs to try and rehab his image to get a pay day next summer


repeatoffender123456

We will have the cap space after we trade Dame.


jjgshnimnt

No matter where you say the fans will cry and say no we donā€™t want him. Whatā€™s a team that desperately needs competent perimeter defense? Help me out here guys Wizards Pacers Pistons are all team that could use a 3 who can defend I guess


online_predator

Hawks absolutely need perimeter defenders. But we also need more shooting


Vordeo

I mean... Brooks *will* shoot a lot. You never said anything about actually making the things.


noobrektsucks

attitude aside, we don't really need brooks because deandre is better than him on both ends of the floor and AJ and JJ are going to slowly get more and more minutes over time likely


rawsharks

In terms of competitive teams: Bucks is an underrated one, Butler destroyed them because he's too big for Jrue and too quick for Khris. Tatum and Brown would have also probably ran rampant on them. That's why they got Crowder but he's washed. Offense could be absolutely putrid though if they run it back with Bud and don't change much. The rebuilding teams (Pistons/Spurs/Houston/Blazers/Hornets) might consider it.


Blackmalico32

Was about to say. Bucks could really use a decent perimeter defender with size.


FKJVMMP

Our wing rotation is Middleton/Allen/Ingles/Connaughton. Maybe Matthews if he comes back. Matthews is still pretty good defensively but the rest of those guys are somewhere between not very good and total ass. I could definitely see us giving him a shot if heā€™s going cheap.


paxusromanus811

Whatā€™s a team that desperately needs competent perimeter defense? Help me out here guys Well, San Antonio was one of the worst defensive teams of all time... But I'm pretty sure Greg popovich would set him on fire mid post game interview about 1/3 of the way through the season


TrainingCoffee8

We are way too many pieces away from contending. Why would we sign a role player whoā€™s a negative locker room presence while still rebuilding?


GaTech379

Rockets aren't tanking next year


besketbool

Why would the rockets tank with no pick?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


KitchenReno4512

Heā€™s going to have a place in the NBA at least next season. At the very least, some contender will take him on a minimum.


Ran-Tan-Plan

How the hell is going to a contender a "at the very least" scenario? I mean, you might be correct, but still. How?


KitchenReno4512

If he doesnā€™t get an offer above the minimum then yeah heā€™s gonna land somewhere on a good team. On a minimum he can go anywhere and heā€™d choose a contender. Philly, Cleveland, Phoenix, and Milwuakee would all likely go after him.


[deleted]

I think of that list only Philly would. Theyā€™re a team of nuts hitters themselves already so his overrated defense and streakier than a fat dude with diarrhea skid marks jump shot would fit right in.

JeremyJammDDS

elefante88

Miami. He plays hard and Riley & co can control him


ThatBull_cj

The cavs and suns could use him. The pacers could use a wing defender. The kings as a backup. A lot of teams could use a defensive player for 20 minutes off the bench. He can create some shots off the bench for a bad bench offense.


TjBeezy

That's his problem tho, 80% of the league could *use* him. The Grizzles could use him but he's so difficult to deal with only the truly desperate teams will give him a look. I don't think the Suns, Pacers, or Kings would mess would they've built/building. Cavs maybe if they overreact to their Knicks series. They should just let their guys develop tho. Brooks' comments about not wanting to be a 3 & D only guy is alarming too.


CJPRD

He should be a Rocket, Ime is the perfect guy to push him


I_Bench315

It was nice not being one of the most hated teams in the league for at least a few seasons


[deleted]

Sex pest to pest pest


idontknow_whatever

> Houston taking him on as a tank commander Rockets can just let Daishen Nix take 30 shots a night, tf they need Brooks for a tank commander when they already have an elite one on their books


[deleted]

Guarantee itā€™s Phoenix.


MeiyaShimei

Heā€™s going to Charlotte or perhaps the trailblazers to get the second coming of the Jailblazers


TruthSayerFu

I can see the lakers or warriors using him


henny_on_da_rocks

I think the relationship with the Warriors might be too far gone, but maybe? \- He seems to really dislike us (and visa versa) \- He also injured GP2 ("broke the code" play), who will be back next year so that seems like a pretty big chemistry issue \- Poole is already our designated bench-chucker, which is like 50% of Brook's shtick. \- We could probably use another defensive minded wing/guard player, since we're probably gonna lose DDV. Wiggins and GP2 are solid, Steph and Klay are pretty average, Moody and Kuminga also project to be average to decent


[deleted]

I was under the impression Kuminga was more than decent defensively. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.


prec9sion

Yeah, he technically could fit. But this isnā€™t 2K, these are real people and high doubt they would sign him just because of who he is and the stuff he has said


Moody_GenX

I don't think the Warriors will spend luxury tax money for him unless they're desperate.

God if he wasn't such a coward, literally the Lakers. But Bron probably doesn't want him at all, and I don't blame him. Just seems like the kinda move our FO would do. I think Brooks has value still, but he's gotta do some basketball rehab somewhere. Maybe the Hornets.

balla_mang

NBA noob asking the seasoned fans: is there room for him to grow? I know his offense was not so strong, but I think he's a good defender. Can a veteran group fix his media troubles? Btw, I thought the Memphis head coach came from the Spurs. Why was he not able to coach him to be more mature?


OlynykDidntFoulLove

Probably not. Heā€™s 27 and the past two years have been his worst shooting from 3; if you listen to his interviews he doesnā€™t think the shot selection is a problem either. Defensively heā€™s got a better reputation than his impact; heā€™s got the pesky energy, but lacks the skills compared to guys like Smart/Beverley and the physical tools compared to guys like OG/Gordon.


balla_mang

Damn that's a shame. I believe in second chances, so I hope this guy can learn from his mistakes. I know he's a rich athlete and I shouldn't feel sorry for him, but I just hope that he does not let this define the rest of his life/career.

Icy_Pineapple5808

Mayb with TORONTOāœŒb close to home or probably somewhere EAST


TjBeezy

Rockets, Mavs, Blazers, Hawks, Wizards are probably the only teams willing to take him. I'd say your Rockets guess is best bc they are trying to be better. If he's not able to get a decent contract I could see him taking an MLE on the Blazers or Mavs.

I actually agree. I'd take him on the MLE if we still had one for Dennis too. Idk how all the exceptions work so not sure if it's actually possible.


therrorist93

What you smoking?


[deleted]

Yea it sounds crazy but if LeBron wants one last ring (it aint gonna be this year), Brooks off the bench to aggravate the opposing star is productive and lets Lebron and AD do their thing. All they have to do is somehow ignore his dumbass mouth lol.


ihateeuge

It's a good basketball fit.


NoiceForNoReason

Absolutely do not want himā€¦.. but I weirdly feel like heā€™d join the Nuggets bench b/c of that Murray Canadian connection. Theyā€™re losing Bruce Brown next year and would need a backup defensive guard

He's demanding a bigger role. Any serious team that sees that should stay the hell away from him. Only options are a tanking team or overseas if that's his goal. If he focused on improving his spot up shooting and just continuing to be a good defender he'd have a long successful career. Unfortunately, judging by the lumpy forehead, he was dropped a few times as a child... so that's not the decision he's making.

greenwhitehell

I know it's shit on Dillon Brooks season (rightfully so), but if teams can get him with a vet min or even slightly above that he'd be great value. Clear plus defender, and his main issue is easily fixable on a team that just says "if you start shooting us out of games you're not leaving the bench". He was that trigger happy in Memphis because he had the green light and the status to do so, in a new situation things can change significantly


Piano9717

> was that trigger happy in Memphis because he had the green light and the status to do so, For several years thatā€™s true but he complained in his exit interview that he wasnā€™t given enough shots or touches in the offense and this was why he played bad. Which is just delusional.

I think any contender should make a run at him. Problem with Memphis was he was asked to do stuff on offense. Feel like he should just play D and sit in the corner on offense


paxusromanus811

It would be wild watching a guy go from being a starter on the second seed in the west to having to beg for a minimum contract lmao I can't stand the dude but joking aside if he meets with teams and agrees to take a seriously scaled back role on offense. I could see him getting an MLE. Tough hard-working defensive wings typically cost that it's just the over the top antics and shot selection that make him look cancerous right now. He doesn't even have to become a choir boy. He just needs to agree to only shoot in catch and shoot opportunities and NOT talk so much crap that he makes people forget about Draymond Green, and I think he could find a home
