Do you think that was some humble pie for Ja Morant and company?

Memphis is fine, the media overhypes players and teams for clicks and views. It takes 7-8 years for young NBA stars to gain enough experience to consistently compete for titles. Young teams go through growing pains but the ESPN's of the world love to build a exciting new player or team up and then tear them down.

They are very young and have a solid core. I expect them to do well next year. First thing they gotta do is get rid of Dillon Brooks, he is obviously the weak link on the team.

Get rid of Brooks and add some more shooters and they will be in the hunt.

It would be rash to move any of the major core of Ja/JJJ/Bane. They'll have to decide if they want the Brooks distraction. They need to add a guy who can defend star wings and handle/shoot enough to keep the offense humming. Brooks might be that guy....if he could make shots.

edit: Keep Steven Adams at all costs.

Their mouths will be shut until they do something now.

Not sure getting rid of Brooks in the answer, elite NBA teams need a player with edge and will cross the line from time to time. Look at Marcus Smart, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green etc.
When is the last time a young inexperienced team has won a NBA championship? Don't buy into unrealistic expectations. They are fine.

Brooks isn’t even close to being as good as those guys. He’s supposed to be one of the veterans on that team, what kind of example is he setting by talking all that shit and then skipping postgame interviews when the shit hits the fan? Bitch move.

But besides that, he’s a bad player. Doesn’t provide much on the offensive end and isn’t good enough defensively to outweigh how bad he is on offense. Someone told me he had a PER of 9 this year, which is horrific.

Brooks shot 30% from the field for the series while taking 13 shots per game . He just doesn't get the fact that he isn't a shooter and he also brings a lot of baggage. I also think he needs to go.

I don't think they need to make any moves. Just stick with this group. Their only decision is whether to let Dillon Brooks walk, S&T or resign him.

I agree

Brooks either needs to improve as a shooter or they should replace him with a better three and D guy because he's too much of a weak link but to be fair they didn't have their starting center and their start player had an injury to his shooting hand. They need to improve front court depth if Steven Adams has to be load managed going forward. Worrisome is the fact that Morant will have a hard time staying healthy if he always plays with his flying attack style. Trading him while his value is still sky high should be an option but you risk pissing him off if you try and don't succeed. If they are going to try and win with him they should go all in right now trading future assets for current successes because I don't like his long term prospects or of fear of injury. And it doesn't help that he seems to be crazy.

I'm glad Memphis lost. I hate their team the most out of everyone in the league. Dillon Brooks looks like a complete idiot now and it's glorious.
