    Certainly hard to explain what Stone was thinking with this one.

    But lets at least give Brooks a chance.

    This is garuba and tyty we are talking about. They suck. Would be shocked if they see any significant playing time. Will either be cut or spend entire time on gleague.

    Presumably Tilman had to approve this contract personally. Can we fire Tilman too?

    Has any of Stone’s FA signing and trade panned out? Can’t think of any.

    If there wasn't any sort of backstage mess going on that we aren't privy to, this should be something that gets you fired.

    Maybe wait for Monday. By then it might be Dillon Brooks signs for four years/100 million.

    I legitimately thought we were going to sign this dude for something like $28M over 2. Bit over the MLE. Can't believe they found a way to make this contract even worse. Just... how?

    Rafael Stone does not understand the primary concept of his job

    As long as he improves our defense significantly (along with Sengun and Jabari obv can't do everything by himself) i'm cool with that. He's the player we need. Constant bit.cing won't change anything let's move on.

    What if he doesn’t? How are you going to move him with this contract? The fact that Memphis did not want him is a huge red flag, and I think the starting 3 spot belongs to Tari in the future anyway. This is a terrible contract.

    I know it's bad but we passed that point we can't unf.ck ourselves now can we? I'm pretty sure he will improve our defense. Also history is full of players who failed at x club and shined in y. Not just in bb too. If a player has certain qualities that you know he will carry with him you shouldn't really overly worry about his past.

    Confusing. We are paying him more? At the Summer League, Brooks did not sit with his new teammates?
