This is hilarious. Never seen a team come out and say something like this. "Under any circumstances" lmao. Damn near the second they got eliminated from the playoffs too. He must be just as much of an idiot in the locker room as he is in the media. No thank you
I agree with this. Ja is flashing pistols on IG but the problem was Dillon Brooks calling LeBron "old."
We don't know what all went on behind the scenes. Simmons & Perk sure are eager to create narratives.
Its really weird how no one is acknowledging they were missing their starting AND backup center. Theres not a single team right now that could win a series under those circumstances
I don’t see why this has to be construed into this being Memphis laying all the blame at Brooks’ feet. He’s a loud mouth. He is one of the most inefficient chuckers in the league and he’s now saying that he can and should be allowed to do more. He’s delusional and it doesn’t seem like he’s very susceptible to coaching. I guess they didn’t have to come right out and say it, but why should they want him back under any circumstance?
Theres no reason to blame anyone. Ad dominated against their small lineup. Lebron had 20 rebounds vs no center They got hoed by injuries. Thats it
The guy looks like an idiot, talks like an idiot, plays like an idiot. And he became a distraction and sideshow in their playoff series. Yes, they have other problems (Ja Morant), but at least, Ja is talented. I want him to go to Brooklyn, so the value of our draft picks goes up. As a sidenote, Jaren Jackson Jr. made that cryptic tweet as if he wants out of Memphis. He would be perfect next to Sengun...just saying.
Didn't JJJ just sign an extension with them? Great player, but not a superstar, and I'm not sure how we get him without giving up somebody like Jabari and/or our draft pick, which isn't worth it IMO
If he hadn't embarrassed the team by talking crazy s**t and then hiding afterword he's still on the team, or at the least this statement isn't made and the split is relatively amicable. L's happen, sit there and take your medicine afterwords. He ran his mouth..a lot, then ducked questions, that's an elite frontrunning punk move. Nobody respects that, and that's why he's taking excess heat.
