Marcus Smart had 6 assist in his first Grizzlies appearance (24 minutes). that equals Dillon Brooks’ season high last year. I think the offense will flow a lot better without Brooks taking his highly contested fadeaway step back jump shots and 3 pointers.

If they lose Brooks and don't get Smart they are worse off than they were. Losing Brooks wasn't as bad as it could have been because they got Smart to replace him.

Not signing brooks frees up cap space to sign or resign other players. Even if the Tyus/Smart trade doesn’t happen, the grizzlies probably still don’t resign Dillon at the price he was asking for.

It’s not so much that the grizzlies didn’t want Dillon, they just didnt want him pay him above a certain price.
