I'm not a Brooks fan and don't want him on the Jazz. When people say stuff like, "you would love him if he were on your team" I strongly disagree . That said if the Jazz could get him on a deal, I could probably talk myself in to beig ok with it.

I feel like Dillon Brooks on court value is probably about MLE level, so if we could get him for half the MLE level that's probably good value. I think the main problem is that Dillon Brooks thinks he's a Max level player.

It will be interesting how this plays out.

The problem with Brooks is not that he is just a unreliable shooter, it's that he thinks he's the main character. Can you coach him into thinking he's just a strange but memorable(in a bad way) NPC? I have my doubts.

Here's the thing, though; this is basically the exact scenario where you can both hope that he finds some self-awareness and where a team can afford to take the risk. Potentially being on the brink might be enough for him to get his **** under control and the cost to find out might be low.

A gamble with all upside and no downside is not a gamble at all. That might be where this is headed for some team.
 
This dude has received more hate than anyone I've seen in a long time. Maybe it's deserved... But I would like to see what he does during the off-season now. Maybe it's an opportunity to get a decent role player cheap. Who really knows?
 
Sad he didn’t play in the era’s with Bird, Jordan, Reggie Miller. That would’ve been fun. Or seeing him try to trash talk Stockton. Had he talked at Jordan like he did Bron, Jordan would’ve made sure to turn him into a footnote for someone Jordan destroyed. Lol
 
Its playing with fire.

Maybe we should be very concerned over the Grizzlies cutting complete ties.

I just really like the idea of Brooks if he didn't have to go to such extremes to get his rocks off. Seems like he could be ride or die to his play style to a huge fault ala Westbrook.

But if you could just get him to be honest with himself about who he is as a player he'd be really good.

If I'm being real though that team can't be the Jazz. Don't have strong enough star veteran leadership to convert Brooks.
 
I remember the 31 points he dropped on us in the playoffs. I kept thinking damned I wish we had that guy. I'm not trying to be funny but it sounds like he needs to be directed into an employee's assistance program. The dude has some issues.
 
There’s just not enough upside here to take a stab at it. History has shown that if you’re gonna take a chance on a loose cannon, they better bring at least 1 elite skill set to the table. Perfect example: Rodman was the best rebounder of his era, which helped make his sideshow tolerable.

What skill set does Brooks bring to the table that qualifies as “elite”? Spoiler alert: Not a damn thing. The Jazz still have a lot of positions to be filled before they start looking for that 1 crazy dude that might get them over the hump. We’re the wrong organization at the wrong point of our rebuild to even consider this clown.
 
As a grizz follower for years, i told hundred times that you don't win anything with Brooks as a starter. Not a bad defender but totally erratic offense + a golden fish IQ......seems that the Grizz finally understand....take them long.

I think he’s one of the exceptions to this rule. His brand of doucheiness combined with his shot happy ways make him a guy even his own fans are just completely over. I heard his mom even hates his ***.

I know he’s a good value on a minimum deal or whatever… but I cant handle watching him on my team… no thanks.
 
Do people that have a lack of self awareness ever like “wake up”. I have know several people in my life that should have woke. Up multiple times in their life and yet they are still as clueless as they have been their whole life… that is the thing with self awareness… even when you hit the bottom you still look at the floor like it’s the one that effed up. If you honestly think he will change then maybe you don’t have these people in your life so congrats… I’ve had enough that I just laugh when people think “this time they will change” and it always blows up spectacularly.
 
**** no. I actually like rooting for the players in this team. And unlike say a Luka, another player I absolutely despise, there's not even superstar talent to go with it.
 


Just a small sample.

Imagine being Steven Adams, poor bloke having to cash the cheques written for him by dickheads like Brooks and Ja.

Wait a minute Steve made 18 million this yeah, **** him he gets no sympathy.
