Why Dillon Brooks impending free agency has his agent furious

A few days ago it seemed like the relationship between Dillon Brooks and the Memphis Grizzlies was unofficially done. The forward will be a free agent this summer and it’s unclear whether he’ll be back in Memphis next year after playing such a pivotal role with the team over the last few seasons.

The Grizzlies had reportedly made clear that the team would not be bringing Brooks back “under any circumstances,” according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. That led to everyone in NBA circles speculating about what would come next for Brooks’ career.

But, as it turns out, that may not be completely true. While it seems unlikely Brooks will be back with the Grizzlies at all this season, a few nuggets of information have surfaced since, not only refuting Chararnia’s reporting but also calling him out for it.

So, with that said, let’s try and get to the bottom of everything to get a sense of what’s really going on when it comes to Brooks’ impending free agency this summer.
