Dillon Brooks is a tone-setter, a culture-builder, and exactly the type of player many believe would be perfect for the Los Angeles Lakers. The only problem is the people down in Arizona love him too. That includes Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia
The Lakers are in the market for a 3-and-D guy, that much is well-known to everyone. Brooks fits that mold, and then some. The problem is that the Suns wing is enjoying the best season of his career. Phoenix is reaping the benefits of that, overachieving their preseason expectations.
Brooks' impact has been so large on the Suns that when Run It Back on FanDuel TV posted a video discussing the idea of trading him to the Lakers, Ishbia went out of his way to shut down the conversation.
