The league 'says' it wants to allow a little more physical play. If so, The villain can get back to his old ways:
You don't get Brooks for the regular season. You get him for the post season. No post season = Brooks no show
He played well for us this year. I never liked the contract, but as long as it can eventually be moved without attaching assets, that’s fine. My biggest concern with Dillon isn’t his play, or his antics…it’s Tari, Cam and Amen’s minutes. If we have Sengun, Adams, and Bari eating up most all of the minutes at the 4&5, Fred and Jalen eating up most of the minutes in the back court, where do Dillon, Tari Cam and Amen get their minutes? If you’re not breaking up the core 6, the answer to me is that you trade Dillon. If Tari is fully 100% without limitations by the deadline, barring additional injuries, Dillon should be on the move. We can’t stunt the growth of those 3, and you need in-game minutes to grow.
I have no doubt if Tari is completely healthy, he will become undeniably better than Brooks next year. Should have happened this year. If Amen does what I think he'll do, zero chance Brooks will affect his playing time.
Its probably a neutral contract at this point but will get better each year because it is front loaded at the same time that the cap is increasing. Last I checked he was getting about league average for a starting wing player but by the start of next year when FA this offseason get newer, more expensive deals, he will be getting paid like a low level starter/rotational bench player....which is about right. I imagine we try to move him at the trade deadline to a contender next year provided we have enough healthy bodies of the young guys.
