Well, there you have it. On Monday afternoon, Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia replied to a tweet on X (Twitter) about DeMarcus Cousins saying that the Lakers should trade Austin Reaves for Dillon Brooks. Ishbia wrote, "Don't bother calling... Suns aren't interested. Dillon's not going anywhere."
With Los Angeles needing a two-way wing, there has been some speculation that Rob Pelinka could reach out to Phoenix about Brooks (losing Reaves for Brooks is a whole different scenario). He wouldn't help with the Lakers' spacing, but he'd help with their 24th-ranked defense. Brooks is shooting a career-high 46.
