The Grizzlies Problem
By: Hudson Martone and Drew Figg 5/21/2023
A current team in the NBA are facing certain troubles with their players including trash talking.
The Memphis Grizzlies are a team in the NBA and are in a little bit of trouble. The Memphis Grizzlies are really struggling with Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks. They both have been making a lot of questionable decisions. Now let's get to it.
Ja Morant has been seen flashing a gun on social media. This is not allowed in the NBA and also builds a dangerous image on himself. The Memphis Grizzlies are not sure what to do with him because of his actions. Ja is a great player and the star of his team, this makes the Grizzlies not want to trade him. Ja Morant has also been having great stats. I think that the Grizzlies will just have a talk with him about his actions on social media and not make any trades. I am really not sure if this will work though because Morant has done it multiple times. Now onto Dillion Brooks. Kendal Robbinson said, “He is mid. I don’t really like him.”, Drew Figg says, ¨I like Ja Morant as a player but I don't like his actions off the court.¨
Dillion Brooks has been a good role player for the Grizzlies but has been acting up lately. Dillion Brooks has been talking a lot of trash to the whole league especially to LeBron James. Dillion has been saying bad stuff to LeBron James like “you’re old now” and “you're washed up”. After Dillion talks trash they got beat in the first round of the playoffs. After this the Memphis Grizzlies have released Dillion Brooks from the team. Dillion Brooks is now a free agent. After releasing him from the team the Grizzlies said that they will never let him back on the team under any circumstances.I agree with this because you shouldn’t talk trash until you can let your game backup your talk. Dillion Brooks is now looking to play overseas or play basketball somewhere else on a different team.
The Memphis Grizzlies have a lot to think about. I expect to see the Memphis Grizzlies make a run in the playoffs next year. The Grizzlies could be great next year. Good luck to the Grizzlies with their decisions. I honestly like the Grizzlies because of their roster but I don't know what's gonna happen with their team.

Some quotes about the problems are, “I think Dillon Brooks deserved it because you should not disrespect Lebron James.”- Bricen Collins
Bricen Collins says, ¨I like the Grizzlies because of their mentality, they play with a chip on their shoulder.¨
In conclusion the Memphis Grizzlies problem is big. They have been having trouble with Ja Morrant and Dillon Brooks. Both have been trash talking pretty badly on the court. Good luck to the Grizzlies with their decisions. I expect them to rebuild in the offseason but we will see.
