Desmond Bane offers

[QMemphis]

Looking to build around Ja and Jaren correctly. Need to move Bane for flexibility locked in for the next 4 years still an amazing shooter but looking to break his contract into 3&D wings.

[Astaluego]

Personally, I'd trade Ja first. I think he needs a reboot, but based on OP, I love Bane for the Magic. KCP/A. Black/Howard + Magic 25 FRP + 2 SRP for Bane

The Grizzlies use the 2 SRP to move Clarke/Konchar to the Hawks' (or Nets'?) slot and save around 18 million...
They are more defensive-oriented

Ja/KCP/Wells/JJJ/Edey
Pippen/Vince/Black/GGJ/Aldama



The Magic consolidate assets and sign a very complementary, young rotation with a very high ceiling.
without a pure PG, but where everyone (except the center) can create their own shot and to a greater or lesser extent create for others

Suggs/Bane/Wagner/Paolo/WCJ
Cole/Houston/Da Silva/Isaak/Goga

I think Bane is worth quite a bit more?

Maybe you're right, but he makes a lot of money too, although I really like Black and it's possible that he's overrated.

[Astaluego]

Let's say the Grizzlies want to go deeper into their reorganization.
(Sorry but I love this trade which I think leaves the Grizzlies with the best frontcourt in the league)
Trade 1..
Ja Morant + B.Clarke for Sabonis + FRP

Trade 2..

Bane+ Konchar for A.Reaves/Knecht/Hachimura

Reaves/Wells/Hachimura/JJJ/Sabonis
Pippen/Knecht/GGJ/Aldama/Edey

I admittedly have a huge bias for sweet shooting 2s. Ray Allen is my favorite player, and if I see anyone with some of that gravity and off ball juice I am in love lol

[R-DAWG]

I could see the Knicks considering a Desmond Bane for OG Anunoby swap (hard to make it worth with Mikal Bridges this year). The deal would give the Knicks a more traditional SG and true secondary shot creation.

[jayjaysee]

Bane is a good 3/d player. Don’t think Memphis trades him. They need Ja to be the player they were building around. I think Bane and JJJ are doing their parts plenty well.

But I’ll throw Dallas’ offer in since it’s here?

Gafford, Martin, Christie, 11th, 2029 LAL first.

Probably need to dump a bit more salary like Hardy or Powell, didn’t play with it.. maybe delaying it for 11th to count is good enough?

Probably want a third team for Gafford unless Memphis wants to let JJJ play only at the four as part of this build.

But Christie and Martin are nice 3/d on nice contracts. Not elite, but nice..

Maybe get Newell at 11. Maybe try out Jase. Maybe trade it and other picks/salaries for a player like Desmond Bane.

I dont understand the point of trading Bane. Hes a good 3rd option as is. What is the point here? You are just opening up a new hole. You have enough 3/D wing role players on the roster. Memphis main Q is if Morant can be their 1st option/franchise player.

I think the point is that with the new apron rules it's more or less impossible to build a team around 3 max contracts. Bane is a good player, but I think it just comes down to the math of whether spending $40M a year on your third option is a viable team building strategy when you're also paying your top 2 guys.

their capsheets are fine for next 2 years with how many min contract depth they have.

Exactly...Bane's a great player, but when your top 3 get, basically, the full cap...they need to be Bird, McHale and ...Jordan.

Tough spot for MEM as JJJ is up for a huge deal and he's just not a Top 10 guy...none of them are. They're very nicely matched, young, excellent draft picks...it's a shame that the CBA makes it fatal to draft so well. I'm not sure what's next but punishing teams for drafting really well and having to pay thorugh the nose to keep their players at market value is just a bad look. I was really concerned when Orl gave Suggs $35m...but his deal descends pretty steeply. They very wisely recognized that Paolo's max payday was coming up fast, so they prepaid as much as they could.

I'm not sure what MEM should do. How are you supposed to build a viable team with any depth? They've continued to draft really well, but before you know it, Edey/Wells/Pippen will have earned nice raises too. Where does that leave all the other decent guys?...but it sucks that money might be the reason for a breakup of a very well-matched dynamic trio. Clearly, solid but not star players are making too much and, theoretically, that's the point of the harsh CBA penalties, but we haven't seen it in action yet...I'm convinced the Luka deal was all about that...not his "conditioning"

Kind of reflects America...the middle class is being killed...you're either wealthy or a vet min getting by. Great GMs are learning how to cycle through guys who are role players - if they get a better offer...best wishes. Thanks for your service.

Anything on the Bucks not named Giannis.

Charlotte sends Miles Bridges + Josh Green + Miami 2027 Pick?

Ja is the first option and the franchise player. Period. This thread is about market interest in Bane, who is a borderline star, phenomenal shooter, but due to natural limitations will never be able to play the role described above for Ja.

The notion behind this thread is that JJJ and Ja, who are truly special guys, need a better variety of tools around them at the cost of Bane, whose salary and market value can give us a lot of flexibility.

Bane offers should start with 2 1sts + neutral fillers to be even considered

both your guys have the value close to neutral

what variety of tools are you looking for exactly though? are you looking for a better scorer? better defender? i guess i just dont see how trading bane for lesser players and picks make the team any better

This sounds good in theory but can you provide an example, realistic or unrealistic, where Memphis trades Bane and gets better?

We can get a good scorer, a couple of better defenders, a good shooter, and a couple of young prospects like Wells on the top. Up to 6 rotational players. It is called depth.
