I don't really know much about Dillon Brooks. He is currently averaging 6.8 ppg, 0.9 apg in 18.9 minutes/game. What's the scouting report on him? Why do you guys like him?

Dear God....

I didn't think it was possible, but the Suns traded a decent player for a PG worse than Okobo, Melton, Canaan, Tyler Ullis, and Shaq Harrison.

James Jones should be tarred and feathered for this. This is insanely stupid / bad / WTF?

Not Dillon Brooks. MarShon Brooks.
Surprise! Gambo got something wrong again. Now the deal flat out sucks.
Gambo just tweeted that he’s not wrong..

Maybe the Suns think they’re getting Dillon and the Grizzlies think they’re giving up MarShon.

Relax people, it's a short term deal. It preserves our cap space. Neither Rivers or Ariza was/is going to be here next year. Just gives us a pg for now, and we could spare a sf.

What is the point of acquiring Austin Rivers? He sucks!



He is currently averaging 7.0 ppg and 2.0 apg in 23 minutes/game. That is GARBAGE!

Cool. Glad you found his "best of" video.

Gambo is the only person reporting Dillon.

This is infuriating. You seek out the best deal. It’s not like we’re currently in contention with the Lakers.

And he's sticking to his guns in the face of Grizzlies beat writers and Woj. So he must have received a call from either James Jones or Sarver? Unless they don't even know wtf they traded for?
Go Suns!

Nah, I'm kind of with Bobby on this one. Watching Chandler actually try for our age old rivals was a kick in the dick. Would rather not be kicked there twice in the span of a month since we're taking it in the ass every night on Tv.

That Aldridge tweet is infuriating. I don't care who we trade with, so long as they give us good assets back. What were the Lakers supposedly offering us? I guess I'd rather have this deal than anything involving KCP, so there's that. But I'd actually prefer no deal at all over this.

Yeah, it's pretty wild. Woz published his article with MarShon:

Didn’t Gambo badly mess up a recent scoop?

This is pretty crazy. It would be par for the course if the Suns didn't understand who they were getting in the deal.
