This move is a bit odd, at least for the timing. Brooks has shown some improvement this season, but is still wildly inconsistent. He’s averaging 16.1 points per game while shooting 42.4% from the field and nearly 40% from 3-point range. At 24, he’s still young and would be on a relatively friendly contract at around $11-12M per season.
