Brooks, who spent the past six seasons with the Grizz, was informed of the team’s decision to move on during an exit meeting this week.
Per Charania, the 27-year-old’s antics during Memphis’s first-round playoff series loss to the Los Angeles Lakers was a breaking point for the organization. Brooks repeatedly trash-talked Lakers superstar LeBron James, calling the future Hall of Famer “old’ and “tired.” The Mississauga, Ontario native was asked if he regretted his comments, to which he replied:
“No, that’s who I am. I don’t regret it. I’m a competitor. I compete.”
Brooks was also ejected from Game 3 after striking James in the groin and fined $25,000 for failing to address the media following three of the Grizzlies’ losses.
The former Oregon standout struggled mightily in the series, averaging 10.5 points on 31% shooting, including 24% from downtown.
It will be interesting to hear what Brooks says about his Memphis departure.
