How about Desmond Bane getting over 200 million dollars out of the Grizzlies? Gotta be the worst signing so far.

5-year max. $200m. $40M per year. That's a lot of money. I know he did carry the Grizzlies while Ja Morant was not playing because of his gun stint but this is going to tighten up their salary cap. They will have players that will look for a better salary and they cannot even offer a good one anymore.

Their ex-teammate Dillon Brooks is getting a 4-year contract for $80m only at Houston Rockets. I bet that hurt his feelings when he heard how much they gave Desmond Bane after not resigning him. Cheesy

The Rockets also signed 2023 NBA champion veteran Jeff Green for a 1-year $6m contract.
It seems like the Rockets are trying to combine young players and veterans which I think is a good thing. Will keep my eyes on this team as I think they are piling up players who will focus defensively as their offense is already better. They are becoming a playoff caliber right now by surrounding Jabari Smith with different types of good roleplayers.

Brooks is probably salty that Desmond Bane is getting a lot more compared to him which has not been resigned. Dude's also working in Grizzlies but Bane really stepped up when the team needed him thanks to Ja Morant's antics.

Maybe he was salty, but prior to Bane's contract being released to the public, Grizzlies already says that they are not going to re-sign Brooks already. Although I wouldn't have to agree that if Brooks didn't have the antics to be a bad guy in the NBA, he could have been res-sign by the team and perhaps offer him a huge contract.

2019-2021 version of Brooks is very different, not sure why he wanted to be the enforcer of the team though. Technical fouls, suspensions, "poking the bear" statement. He just waste it everything when they could probably have another run with a fully healthy Ja physically and mentally.
