The Memphis Grizzlies felt Dillon Brooks was a bad influence on their young core, per
@BannedMacMahon
“Memphis made no attempt to retain Brooks in free agency, in part, sources said, because the front office was concerned that his incessant trash talk and inflammatory antics had become a bad influence on the team's young core. Brooks, a second-round pick in 2017 who emerged as a leader during the young Grizzlies' rise, had become emblematic of a cocky team that didn't back up its bold talk.”
