Memphis Grizzlies

Mike George, the founder of OneLegacy Sports Management - the agency that represents Dillon Brooks, publicly slammed Shams Charania and his report about the Memphis Grizzlies not re-signing Brooks under any circumstances.

In a Tweet on Wednesday evening, George said, "[Shams Charania is] the leader of spreading false news and attacking players. Why any player in the league talks to this guy blows my mind."

For context, Charania wrote in an article on Tuesday, "The Memphis Grizzlies have informed pending unrestricted free agent Dillon Brooks that he will not be brought back under any circumstances, league sources tell The Athletic. After his tumultuous end to the season, Brooks was told about the Grizzlies’ decision to move on in exit meetings with team officials in recent days, those sources said. Memphis and Brooks discussed in exit meetings that it’s best for both sides to have a fresh start, sources added."

The NBA world has been reacting to the report over the last two days, and now Brooks' agent has publicly slammed it. It will be very interesting to see what comes of this, because it has been made very clear by Brooks' representation that this report did not come from them.

Brooks is set to hit free agency this summer after spending the first six seasons of his career with the Memphis Grizzlies.
