Around the League - Donte to Knicks 4/$50

[Profound23]

You guys need to explain to me the Dillon Brooks thing.

His TS last year was 49% and he’s a career 41% shooter. He doesn’t have three point range. Turns 28 in January.

I get the defense thing, but that’s offset by the Artest/Rodman crazy.

And he got $80 million.

It’s **** stupid, there’s no explaining it lol. The dude over the last two postseasons combined:

42.6% TS
5.4 PER
-0.051 WS/48
-5.6 BPM

All while talking trash, looking like a clown, and creating a huge distraction for his team in seasons that they had title aspirations.

That’s the guy Houston just paid $80 mil to, to supposedly be a quality vet presence with playoff experience for a team full of kids.

Which is funny because Rocket fans were so proud of themselves for pushing Lopez' asking price up from 40 to 48 then they were happy to sign Brooks for 80.

Oh no, you made a multibillion dollar organization spend 8 million more

Westbrook at 4 million. Seeing all these nonsense deals and then he only gets that. Bizarre. He looked like OKC Westbrook at times in the playoffs. Would have easily taken him at that price

I said it yesterday. I legitimately thought Brooks a minimum salary guy. That he was unplayable on a serious team.
