Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks are looking forward to getting started with the Suns, while Devin Booker has begun workouts with the team.

The Phoenix Suns landed Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks from the Rockets in the Kevin Durant trade. Green says he, Devin Booker will be 'deadly.'

But the point is not that it backfired, it’s that Brooks means it. When it comes to his bravado, he will do the walking of the walk after talking the talk to anyone, and you could not exaggerate enough how badly the Suns need that.

It’s a bold statement, but exactly the kind of chaos you expect from Brooks. Love him or hate him, he thrives on emotion, intensity, and being the villain. If it fires up the fans and fuels the team’s energy, maybe it’s not such a bad strategy after all.
