The last time Dillon Brooks played in a game for the Grizzlies was during a 40-point blowout loss in Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs against the Lakers. It was a game that capped a nightmarish series for the former second-round pick who blossomed into a key contributor for the Western Conference’s No. 2 seed.
Now, Brooks is headed to the Rockets in a sign-and-trade with Houston that netted Brooks a four-year, $86 million contract worth up to $90 million, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. And his star former teammate, Ja Morant, had a brief yet seemingly heartfelt response when the Grizzlies officially announced the deal on Twitter.
