Grizzlies not expected to re-sign Dillon Brooks
The good news for the Grizzlies: This is a young team with plenty of growth potential that is also well-positioned salary- and trade-asset-wise to move forward in an NBA soon-to-be governed by a much more restrictive labor agreement when it comes to team-building. Memphis made unsuccessful runs at the trade deadline to acquire Brooklyn’s Mikal Bridges or Toronto’s OG Anunoby and will presumably try again to trade for a top-shelf wing player after such a disappointing ending. There is also a growing doubt leaguewide about the Grizzlies’ appetite to re-sign Brooks as he heads to free agency.

From Dillon Brooks, a Desmond Bane contract extension, offseason plans, injury updates and an upcoming change on trash-talk approach, there was a lot to take away from what Zach Kleiman and the Grizzlies said on Sunday.
Here are some notable takeaways:

Dillon Brooks did not rule out coming back. But he said he’s not going to change his approach to talking. And he was critical of his role: “I felt like, with all this criticism, I could have gave a lot more. And I wasn’t given enough.” – 2:11 PM

Kleiman says Dillon Brooks has brought a lot of good things to the Grizzlies for a long time. But while touching on him again, he’s short.
It seems (in my opinion) that there is some disconnect there. And it sounds a lot (in my opinion) like it’s very unlikely Brooks will be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… – 1:21 PM

Should the Grizzlies re-sign Dillon Brooks? How can the roster be improved? Will Desmond Bane need a max contract extension? What’s the biggest lesson from this season?

The Lakers were going to beat the Grizzlies regardless of what Dillon Brooks said but we saw them play with a fire we have never seen before. The two scores I’ll remember most about this series:
Lakers 38, Grizzlies 9 to start Game 3.
Lakers 125, Grizzlies 85 final in Game 6. – 11:26 AM

Memphis should have a pretty straightforward offseason revolving around the free agency of Dillon Brooks, an extension for Desmond Bane, and seeking potential trade opportunities.

Tough end for Dillon Brooks. I wondered if going ‘full heel’ would catch up with him, & maybe it did. Must be dizzying to be in middle of a maelstrom like that, even if self-created. I’m sure he’ll learn from it. But he went for it when most people never do, and I respect that. – 7:54 AM
