Brooks has a skill set that can be worth it, but it is like paying Antonio Brown at this point. He has no desire to change who he is, and it will always derail his game.
It get it but Brooks is overrated imo. He can’t create his own shot, he isn’t a good shooter but he is a + defender and can rebound. Then he talks shit and is an instigator. Hard to value players in these days with these salaries but $20M seems a bit much. Looking around the league there are bench players making $16M so in that sense, I get it

He only been on one team so this is very unfair to say that

Rockets done a damn good job. Sometimes you need to overpay slightly to start going back in the right direction.

Starting lineup imo
Vanvleet
Green
Brooks
Jabari
Sengun

Bench
Porter
Landale
Your 2 rookies

Not bad

Bench? They will start Brooks at SF, Amen Thompson will come off the bench IMO.

At his best he is Tony Allen without the botched layups.

Brooks will start over a rookie
That is what I said while you said:

And? I never said he wouldn’t start. I was talking about his contract compared to league-wide contracts

Was Vegas, could be Snottsdale aka Scottsdsale. Was supposed to be this June. We are now July......1st.

Looking at next March or April. Maybe June '24.
Well, if you move into Scottsdale (are you talking about the one in Phoenix?) We will have to get together.
