Why are people reaching for the lowest hanging fruit on the tree by pointing at the LeBron thing as to why they aren't bringing him back??? It has NOTHING to do with that. It's because he asked for more than they're willing to give and then acting erratically thereafter. The result of the season has NOTHING to do with it. Shannon is typically a consummate professional but his disdain for Ja won't allow him to be when it comes to him. He takes every opportunity to shoot at Ja.

Dillion Brooks was in Memphis before Ja and JJJ. He was apart of the rebuild and the rebranding. He was a vet on that team that helped young guys. What happened in the first round doesn't take away from that nor does it take away from the bigger issue that Unc is referring to.

i'm glad someone as big as Shannon is saying this too. Dillion brought more excitement, storyline and entertainment to this matchup which = to more views. Obviously he didn't play super well but for the team to throw him under the bus and make it seem like their loss was all on him is b.s. I agree 100% with Shannon. I believe Dillion played his heart out. It's not like he was just talking and then being lazy. He tried to back it up and he is still young. Why not help him (as the coach) develop into a better player and learn from his mistakes? Clearly he was asking for a bigger role which would mean adding more to his game...

[@IncognitoSprax]

As funny as it’s been to make fun of Dillon Brooks, and it definitely has been funny, they are 100% trying to use him as the scapegoat. The entire Grizzlies team chirps. In fact, their culture of being unlikable started last season. It wasn’t Dillon Brooks saying that the Grizzlies live rent free in the Warriors head. It also wasn’t Dillion Brooks that exposed on IG that rhey posted the Draymond Green quote in the locker room on them getting their “reality check.” It also wasn’t Dillion Brooks that said that he is “fine in the west!” Also, last time I checked, Dillon Brooks wasn’t the only one on that team that got blown out by 40 points in an elimination game. He was just the easy one to cut bait with and throw under the bus as he had the spotlight on him in the last few weeks, however, their entire culture is the problem. So scapegoating one guy is not cool.

Everybody on the team played trash game 6. Honestly, I am happy we are not signing brooks again. But we also need to get rid of Jenkins as the coach. He did a good job getting the team to this point, but he has shown me he does not have what it takes to coach in the playoffs. They went into that series unprepared. He ran the same plays and rotations all series that didn't work. How are we going to shoot all them threes and nobody can shoot them consistently? Our bench sucked, again. JJJ got punked from game 3 to game 6. But of course blame Ja again. He had one bad game which was game 6, but the entire team sucked. The one person on the team I can't blame is Tillman. He did everything asked of him and extra. I expect them to keep him. But for us to move forward we need to grow as a team and those two guys Brooks and Jenkins are doing just that. Plus the front office needs to do better at acquiring consistent bench and role players

I'm with Reggie Miller on this. Brooks made a clever attempt to lure LeBron into trying to scoring 40 on him and thereby leave the game plan outline for the team. Some players are easily tricked into being top scorer and score 40+, but detrimental to the team. LeBron, on the other hand, was too experienced and didn't fall for it. There is no reason to throw Brooks under the bus because he made a clever move that didn' pan out.

Brooks gives the NBA an entertainment value that I appreciate. I say give brooks what he wants

[@L0UDM0UTH]

Memphis love my city but yall did bruh dirty. Hope he succeed somewhere else

[@kayjaylife8349]

This is why I love their takes. The truth is always spoken

[@omj172]

Memphis w/o a doubt did Brooks dirty.

[@toochangz]

Man Unc kept other mad respectful and made good points. Then at the very end, hits skip with an old Brooks Oregon reference that went over alot of ppls heads and Skip knew exactly what he was talking about. Gotta love that the shows back to feel good discussions

Can we remember the only reason he was playing (and the only reason the series wasn't more competitive) was because the grizz lost Steven Adams AND Brandon Clarke

What are you talking about ? he was still a starter and playing heavy mins when those guys were healthy .

[@amorphous_man]

Honestly I appreciate when Skip and Shannon agree on a good point from time to time. They do a good job of building the argument together.

[@willjamesjr]

The Grizzlies front office have officially made themselves the joke of the NBA. Sure, Dillon Brooks behaved like a clown. But they rode the wave of Brooks, Ja and the teams "bad boy" persona when they were on top. But now they lose & they scapegoat him? Not the star player who threatened multiple people with glocks and said that he wasnt worried about the West??! lol Dillon has been a fool. But injuries got Memphis elimanted. It has nothing to do with Dillon's clown-like, immature trash talk.

[@taebrazyy676]

ja is also a all star point gaurd. Dillon brooks had the the worst fg in the first round. hes an offensive liability.

[@luigicantoviani323]

Now Shannon and Skip are shocked after barraging that player time after time after time after time.

[@konkretestrong9129]

Yea but that man was only fighting for his team and then they burn him like that. Not right at all

[@tennmartin]

We all know Shannon has an axe to grind against the Grizzlies. I take what he says with a grain salt when it comes to the Grizzlies and LBJ. His emotions gets the best of him.

[@BmoresJD]

Right!! Now they’re caping for him. Smh

[@RetroModeDays]

Well said Unc!

[@mistercoombs]

Im surprised at Shannon's stance on this, for the past couple months he's been on Brooks head. When this news came out yesterday I expected him to roast this man!

[@trysephiroth007]

He doesn't like teams turning on their players like this regardless of who it is.

[@KClouisville]

Is he in the locker room? They already tried to trade the guy months ago. He likes to say what he wants about players and put it out there in public...but the team, which knows the guy a lot better than Sharpe, cuts him loose in a harsh fashion and it's somehow an outrage? I don't doubt they're sending a message by doing it that way....but Shannon should understand that.

[@markc3206]

How ya’ll think Dillon Bricks will act if he gets that big contract he prolly say F ya’ll. Im saying he got what he deserve acting like he an all star. You gotta teach them kids how to respect people. Crazy how people feel sorry for him now. He gonna learn the hard way.

[@chadkusiar4919]

[@raiii2012]

Grizz definitely making him a scapegoat, Unc said it best!

[@johnsteve1789]

This is wild... Never heard of a team saying this to a player. Say what you want about him, but he was all in for his team. This was cold lol

Shannon is like Barkley. He says what he thinks whether it's the popular view or not. I respect that.

[@smartkidslose]

Appreciate shannon being fair

[@nobad4265]

Grizz gonna realize how much they need a player like Brooks once he's gone. Very rare and very valuable personality type in today's NBA to have an enforcer/emotional leader alongside a superstar like Ja. He took the attention off Morant's off the court issues with his trash talk and fierce competiveness going into the playoffs. Adams will be their only vet in the starting lineup next season unless they sign a guy to replace him.

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

True. Unless they can get Jaylen Brown, who's suggesting he may want out of Boston. I think that's the kinda player Memphis needs, and if it happens, Brown not Ja, should be the number 1 scoring option.

[@kiddtiko]

if that’s how their vet of the team is acting, then i think that’s a bigger problem itself

[@nobad4265]

@@kiddtiko you can have more then one vet. They have Adams and Jones too

Dillon is definitely being scapegoated but basketball skills wise it's no loss for the Grizzlies.

[@crthompson8973]

“Tolerance will never be lower than Production!” (Message)! Lol

[@musiccityxom]

Anyone who is defending Brooks now was tearing him apart for the the past year. Shannon repeatedly pointed out how Brooks is not a good basketball player and that’s Memphis’s fault? Now he’s saying “he deserves better”? Unc talking goofy

[@stylesmarshall6990]

As a grizzlies fan, I totally disagree with Shannon. This fan base has been begging to get DB out of here all season. Last year he played fine. He's been awful since then. Ja can talk, he's an all-star. DB just makes everything harder for everyone on our team. Good defender, but that's all he brings to the team

[@WeTheNorthRaptors]

Ja still can talk huh? 2nd time he showboat a gun online😂😂😂

[@BulletAgario]

How’s that wannabe gangster Ja now?

[@Noname12384]

Shannon used to get mad at Skip cutting him off. He cuts Skip off all the time now lol

[@NETBU]

Yh you’re right but skip was denying him of making his point in a condescending way. Yes Shannon jump in but he’s normally completing skips points when he does cut in. There’s a difference.

[@NYGiants4Life]

It just shows how when you’re superstar player you can get away with anything. It reminds me of the Aaron Hernandez documentary where ppl would mention how college athletes can get away with anything and law enforcement sweeps it under the rug.

[@hermanmiller3708]

The Warriors have a similar problem developing with Jordan Poole unless he matures and realizes that basketball is a team sport.

[@HHHPedigrees]

If Dillon Brooks was that bad he wouldn't have been in the starting lineup. Seems like it was a coach just trying to save his job. Ja is the main problem with that team. The immaturity issues stems from him. They need to get rid of him and build around Jaren jackson.

[@TheyCallMeGator]

*The Media:* Dillon Brooks has lost his mind. They need to get rid of this 🤡 *Also The Media:* I can't believe they listened to us & got rid of him. They should be ashamed of themselves.

[@thomasclark6906]

The media is such a joke. Brooks was 100% a huge problem. How can any team be blamed for not wanting a cancer on their team?

[@spjr99]

Shannon is speaking my feelings on this regarding the "under any circumstances" part. Like that was intentionally leaked

[@ericmcgowan1993]

Yall need to go back a few years and look at that playoff series against Utah when ja and Dillon were scoring almost all of the grizzlies points. JJ was on the team back then too...

[@joesolano1]

I respect the fact he wasn't scared to play bully ball with star players.

[@fashionlife5348]

NBA allowing a Young Player getting fired for Challenging a Legendary Player just by talking in the Game its unfair and awful and soft tbh like he assaulted someone like Draymond did smh

[@coxval2635]

True. I think there might be a bigger reason.

[@smkrieg41]

Umm he's a free agent. Didn't get fired, just not getting resigned by Memphis. Also, the only difference between Brooks and Draymond, minus awards and rings, is that Dray likes to kick and Dillon likes to punch lol

[@gmdwill]

@@smkrieg41 Draymond literally punched his OWN teammate. Dillon has no history of causing problems in the locker room.
