Dillon Brooks was a hot topic of conversation in the first round after his altercation with LeBron James. He tried to get under the LA Lakers star's skin with his antics, but it did not work out. The Grizzlies were eventually knocked out of the playoffs in blowout fashion.

Along with his playstyle backfiring, his actions didn't help his cause. Once he began to struggle in the series, he began avoiding the media after games. The league eventually had no choice but to fine him for skipping media availabilites.

With Memphis on the table, Brooks now has to venture into free agency to try and secure another contract.
