At present, the Grizzlies have not yet reached an agreement on the extension of Dillon Brooks' contract, and Dillon has also rejected the team's 3-year, 50 million contract extension. Dillon chose to test the waters of the free market in the offseason and wanted a long-term contract with an annual salary of 20 million, and the Grizzlies should quickly agree with Dillon on the salary amount proposed. With Dillon's personal ability, including his playing style, an annual salary of 2,000 is not much. Coupled with the fact that the Grizzlies have been playing for many seasons, the Grizzlies, Dillon's parent team, must seize the opportunity not to let the guard swing man regrettably leave.
Although the team's current Bane is better than Dillon on the offensive end, and also forms a backcourt double gun with Morant, Dillon's role is irreplaceable by Bane. So far this season, Dillon is averaging 14.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, shooting 39 percent overall and 32 percent from beyond the three-point line. He is currently the team's No. 4 scorer and is also the team's defensive gatekeeper on the outside. In the game, Dillon was aggressive at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the defensive end was the strongest scorer on the main defense of the opposing team. And Dillon is not afraid of confrontation, playing with passion and tenacity, and his tough style of play brings the team not only the role on the field, but also his words and deeds can also boost the morale of the team.
His values are on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the Grizzlies, and he's the Grizzlies' most important tough role. Maybe as an opponent, many people hate Dillon's style of play, but as a teammate, everyone likes it. He's a bit like a reinforced version of Beverley, who is also good at biting opponents on the defensive end and has good output on the offensive end. When Bane or Morant don't have a good shooting feeling, Dillon has the ability to continue the firepower for the team. And he and Bell have also become Morant's left and right hands, one is good at attacking and physically strong, the other is balanced and tough on offense and defense, and the two people are left and right to make Morant look more secure. Although the current league is about offense, any team that wants to win the championship must have a person like Dillon who has a tough style and is active in defense, and there must also be a person who leads the defensive end. Dillon is energetic at all times on the court, loves to talk garbage, has a fierce ball style, and has a certain level of role and data on the field, plus the age of 27 is really not lacking in the free market. And any team that wants to compete for the championship also needs a tough guy or evil person like Dillon, he is really not afraid, no matter what level of attributes Dillon faces has always been based on the interests of his own team, and will never give in to any opponent.
Based on the above analysis of Dillon, 20 million a year is really not much, the Warriors' Poole is still more than 30 million a year, Dillon is slightly inferior to Poole's offensive end, but the overall performance is definitely higher than Poole. In this small-ball era, swingmen like Dillon are very open, and basically fit into any team's system. And now the alliance's big contracts are flying all over the sky, and Dillon's request for 20 million is really not a lion's mouth. Therefore, the Grizzlies should also synthesize Dillon's personal value, including the current market, the annual salary of 2000 is really stronger than Dillon, and there are very few who can bring real value and role to the team like Dillon, so the Grizzlies should not hesitate to renew the contract. Especially this season, the Grizzlies' record is very ideal, the team also has hope to impact the championship, every player needs to work hard at this time, did not renew Dillon in advance, and will not play 100% hard in the playoffs, and no one wants to have any injury risks before the contract year is renewed. And if the Grizzlies can reach an earlier contract extension with Dillon, it will be a reassurance for him, and now that there is still time for Bane's renewal issue, the Grizzlies can also maintain their core structure.
