The Memphis Grizzlies have traded Desmond Bane to the Magic for KCP, Cole Anthony, FOUR unprotected 1st round Draft picks and a 1st Round Pick Swap

They probably feel that he gets them closer to the championship....



Jalen Suggs
Desmond
Paolo
Franz
Mo/Wendel


That is not a bad championship team, still too much though but I get it. They now have a potentially complete team with 5 scores

They still got no real point guard

Next year gonna be a bloodbath in the east.

Knicks
Pistons
Pacers
Cavs
Magic

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I just don’t see how Bane is worth that haul for that team

 

[VegetasHairline]

Give up four first round picks for Desmond Bane, brehs!

 

[vino]

They need to fire their GM. I’m talking about the Magics. That’s a damn haul right there. 4 picks

 

[number21]

In a weak east next season. Smart move by Orlando

Eh. Barely top four imo.

 

[Nabs]

Bruh, they traded the Phoenix pick

 

[ECA]

They still got no real point guard

They needed shooting more than anything to be fair. Worst shooting team in the league

What’s playing on Desmond Bane’s playlist right now

 

[SchoolboyC]

Orlando's giving all of that up just to be a play-in team?

Suggs/Bane/Wagner/Paolo/WCJ on paper should be competing for a top 4 seed in the East

Problem is they still lack a proper playmaker, Suggs can’t run an offense

4 unprotected 1sts is definitely a gamble tho. That Suns pick next year is probably lottery

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

If Orlando gave up all of that I would've at least tried to get Ja instead

 

[RawDogBandit]

The Grizzlies are preparing for Ja to jump ship

Desmond isn’t worth four first round picks. But it’ll help the Magic in the short term. They have a very solid team that can compete now and it may get scary in the East

 

[Raquinotj]

Awful trade for orlando. Trading market is cooked. Dudes giving up all future assets for top 60 players??

On a $42 million a year contract. Paolo(Extension), Wagner and Bane gonna choke that Cap space. Add in Suggs at $30 million and they gonna have to unload some contracts in the next 2 years. Basically the new CBA gives teams a two year window before blowing it up.

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Four picks tho!?

If Orlando gave up all of that I would've at least tried to get Ja instead

Should have gotten both Ja and Bane for four...sheesh.
