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

[Derek Lee]

It's not just the trade for Bane but also for getting rid of that KCP contract

 

[SchoolboyC]

Starting to think first round picks don't mean much anymore

One could argue they’re more valuable than ever

But in the case of Orlando, in 2028 and 2030 Paolo & Franz will be in theory just entering their primes so they’re banking that these will be late picks

That 2026 Suns pick next year is the real value here.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

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

Oh it's definitely going to be a lottery pick and it might end up becoming more than that especially when Phoenix trades KD.

This year it was the 9th pick and it will be an even worse team next year.

Trade all 4 for durant

With how trash the future players of the league will be. A first overall and last pick won’t be much of a difference soon

I don’t think that’s how it will work but if you say so

 

[cartierhoe]

Goes both ways, as we’ve seen plenty of teams completely fukk their long term future by offloading their draft capital trying to win now

Don’t believe me ask Phoenix

And Milwaukee

 

[MITS]

I don’t think that’s how it will work but if you say so

Just look at the top 10 from last year.

All of them are ass besides Castle
And Castle is a role player at best

4 picks for bane is insanity

 

[livindajetlife]

I love this trade for Orlando they not worried bout the draft picks eastern conference WIDE open next season

 

[Bigwhite2498]

The lakers really fleeced the Mavs with the draft picks. Good thing the NBA told Niko they’d rig the NBA Draft lottery for him.

How?? The mavs got a top 10 player in the trade back

 

[Raquinotj]

Brehs in the Laker threads been throwing out novela type trades with just 1 pick, we ain't getting shyt

Brehs be like.

Lakers receive:
Giannis Antetokounmpo

Milwaukee Bucks receive:
Dalton Knecht
Bronny James
Rui Hachimura
2025 second-round pick

 

[livindajetlife]

fukk those picks.

You’re Orlando ..You see the Pacers in the NBA Finals,You know Boston is cooked …You have two all star caliber wings in Paolo and Franz…and depth but you’re missing 1 more guy that can go get a bucket at a high level …

You either trade for Bane or keep drafting nikkas like Jett Howard and Tristan Da Silva .Imma go trade for Bane


fukk those picks

Exactly

Memphis has to be moving on from ja.
