On Wednesday, the Suns sent a message regarding Brooks after his first day in Phoenix. While the Suns now have an influx of guards, they are almost certainly better defensively, especially after drafting Duke Center Khaman Maluach and trading for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams.

One of the biggest pieces of the Kevin Durant trade between the Phoenix Suns-Houston Rockets, was the arrival of Dillon Brooks. Coined by the nickname “Dillon the Villain”, the 29-year-old is known for his aggravating tactics on and off the court.

Both Jalen and Dillon are beloved throughout our organization,” said Rockets GM Rafael Stone, whose trade for Kevin Durant is now official.
