August 8: Brooks’ new contract is official, the Suns announced (via Twitter). August 5: The Suns have agreed to sign veteran forward Dillon Brooks to a three-year contract extension worth $73MM, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports (via Twitter). The contract is fully guaranteed and contains no options, per Suns insider John Gambadoro (Twitter link). Acknowledging that there’s a chance the deal “might approach overpay territory” before it expires, Gerald Bourguet of Suns After Dark (Twitter link) notes that the Suns value Brooks’ off-court leadership and culture-setting as much as anything he does on the floor. This extension further solidifies those efforts, keeping Brooks under contract through the 2029/30 season.
