ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[ItsGoTime]

Just feels like Brooks peaked 2-3 years ago and has been living of a reputation that doesn´t match the current on court production. Looking at the numbers we have an above average defender. Inefficient scoring. Bad shooting. With more usage/touches than he probably should have.

Man, not sure “above average defender” gives much credit for his current second all defensive team awarding. 

I admit it’s a strong hunch on my part, but I am pretty adamant that he is one of the top players in need of a change of scenery combined with going into next year having something to prove to the team that hung him out to dry (as well as all the people giving him flak recently). He’ll be hyper focused next year. The thing the next team needs to do is channel that focus into better productivity. He’s shown he can shoot well, he has decent handles and the confidence to use them. 

I also don’t understand what you mean by saying living off reputation? I think the 2 year slump has everything to do with what we’re seeing is Ja’s “leadership”. That’s not to say it’s all Ja’s fault, but it is to say break him away from that culture and it’ll be a different person IMO.
