There are a few players around the league who can potentially become a centrepiece in the return package for Bane. I am not sure it is allowed by the rules, but I am genuinely seeking for the forum’s opinion who would a better ASSET for Memphis among the following:

Sharpe
Anunoby
Suggs
Auzar

I don't see Suggs or Ausar being traded for Bane even if it could make sense for those teams offensively. I'm going OG even though I don't like the contract (also don't think New York would trade him for Bane), I think Sharpe has some potential but he is due for an extension soon and isn't nearly the caliber of player Bane is.

I, of course, accidently clicked on Sharpe, lol

I don't think Ausar is being traded for Bane. Sharpe could make some sense, but he still has the potential to be better than Bane. OG is crucial for the Knicks as they have enough guys Bane's size and really need OG.

Suggs makes a lot of sense.

I chose Suggs, but I prefer Bane over all four by a sizable margin.

We have three options.

-Keep Bane go get Herb as the starter to pair with Ja, Des, Jaren and Edey. Clarke/2 1st for Herb.

-Use Bane to get KD or trade for a replacement 3rd star. (Would need a third team)

-Break Bane into pieces.

Bane/Konchar for Sharpe/Grant/Thybulle (Trailblazers)
Bane for Jalen/Jabari Smith (Rockets)
Bane for Ivey/Tobias/Pick (Pistons) Makes the most sense
— Cade and Bane would be a great backcourt duo.
—Ivey’s mom was an assistant for the Grizz so he is already familiar with Ja and Jaren. Plus played college ball with Edey. Grizz also have had interest in Tobias over the years.

I think Jalen Suggs/Desmond Bane swap makes the most sense for both teams. The Magic would adding a lot of offense on a team that has struggled a lot on that side of the ball and the Grizzlies add a elite point of attack defender who can also shoot.I do think the Magic might need to add some draft compensation due to Suggs injury concerns, but a swap like that is realistic if Bane is on the trading block.

I think you have two options given that New Orleans has signaled pretty clearly that Herb and Murphy aren't being moved.

We offer 3 unprotected 1st Dumars does that deal. Griffin is no longer the GM in New Orleans so until he makes a public declaration of their core I will keep this as an option.

Are you just looking to dump him? Shouldn't you be telling us who you want or atleast the type of player you need? What's the goal here?

Suggs had 1 good shooting year out of 4

What about a trade around camara and bane? Camara + filler + 10?

To swap Bane for a similar level wing

Two problems: 1. JJJ 2. We want to remain competitive next season

If I'm the Pistons, I'd trade Ausar for Bane, the Grizzlies though will have the worst spacing in thr league.
Bane is equal to Annunoby in value, thougj Knicks won't make the trade.
Sharpe hasn't shown he's a starter level player yet, I wouldn't gamble Bane on him.
Bane for Suggs makes a lot of sense to both teams.

I haven't scouted Bane very much, so I would have to do more research, but with our impending salary crunch, a Jalen Green / Tari Eason swap might make sense.

I think all those guys are worse than Bane is except Ausar but that's more of a long term thing and I don't think Detroit does that so I don't really get doing these swaps
