Grizzlies part ways with Dillon Brooks after tensions boil over in playoffs

The Memphis Grizzlies informed Dillon Brooks, their longest-tenured player, that they would not re-sign him after his ejection and feud with Lakers star LeBron James in the playoffs.
Brooks struggled mightily in the postseason, shooting just 31 percent from the field, and his trash talk and physicality with James drew heavy criticism.
Brooks had rejected multiple contract offers from the Grizzlies during the regular season in hopes of landing a bigger deal in free agency.
The Grizzlies' decision to move on from Brooks has been met with backlash from analysts who believe he is being unfairly scapegoated for deeper issues within the organization.
Brooks is expected to draw interest from other teams in free agency thanks to his defensive skills, but his poor shooting and penchant for distraction could limit his market.
