Why The Memphis Grizzlies Do The Deal
On the other hand, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows in Memphis this season. This team has some problems.
Morant’s off-court concerns are the most troubling ones. It’s beginning to feel like the star point guard may be a player who is frequently suspended. With that said, he wasn’t the only issue in Memphis this season.
Dillon Brooks generated his own share of negative headlines. With that in mind, he’s not expected to return to Memphis. The Grizzlies will need a replacement for him.

He should make Memphis better next season, and he’s young enough to grow with this team’s young core.
