Unless brakes are in the overheat range it is better to leave them parked. 777 has carbon brakes so there is no risk of brake discs sticking together and in fact carbon brakes work better when warm as long as they are in the normal range at the next TO. Asian carrier I worked for stopped routinely releasing the park brake years ago after a couple of unchocked roll away incidents and never had a problem with the brakes.
