My bet is on Brooks either transitioning out of the NBA entirely for 2-3 years and winding up playing in China or Europe. If he stays stateside the team that takes him on has to have a strong culture with a veteran presence that will keep him in line. Miami could do that if Butler is willing to give him a shot. There won’t be much of a bidding war for a clown that just helped destroy his team’s season. Well he was a distant second to Ja and his family and friends horror show, but he was on the medal stand of reasons why things went south in Memphis.
Chris Paul is, well, I cannot help but LOL at him. I mean who would have thought that gutting your role players mid-season would have meant things would go sideways for Phoenix? Not that they were going well at the time, but teams with that little on the bench are just begging to be eliminated. Phoenix now has an aging scorer, albeit one of the best to ever do it, whatever people want to label Booker as and Ayton. Booker should never be more than your 2nd best player. With Durant a sure bet to miss 15-20 games a season going forward you can’t put the franchise on Booker’s shoulders. Ayton is what he is and that’s perfectly fine, but not at that salary.
