Things haven't been going well for the Memphis Grizzlies as of late. It seems like half of the roster is injured once again, including Ja Morant, who simply hasn't looked like himself for a while. If we take a moment to think about what's transpired in the last few years for this franchise, we can pinpoint the exact moment things began to go downhill: the day Memphis decided to move on from Dillon Brooks.
That's a sentence many NBA fans would not have ever expected to read just a few short years ago. Brooks developed a certain reputation from the national NBA audience, but it was never one that was totally fair to him and all that he did for the Grizzlies.
