Shams: Grizzlies trade Desmond Bane to Magic for KCP, Cole Anthony, 4 1sts, 1 Pick Swap...

Durant to Memphis

good call

memphis can now trade kcp + cole + clarke + edey + picks for kd. gives suns 4 playable guys right now, a center and picks.

They're got reading away all that for Durant. Get real, dude.

Yeah I mean…if you’re Memphis you have to take that deal. What on earth

[Slimjimzv]

Dallas got less than this for Luka . . .

What? Davis is an all star and Cooper is "the #1.pick". How many of those ORL picks going to be #1 in first round with a clear #1 choice

The number 1 pick was not in that trade. I don't know why people keep using that as part of it. I guess, if your argument is that AD sucks so bad, the Mavs couldn't make it out of the play in games, then it's logical, but it certainly doesn't support that being a better trade than what the Grizzlies just got.

[pwayknicks]

Clearly the league doesn’t value first round picks as much as they used to, or as much as people on this board value them. Bridges for 5 last year, bane for 4 this. Seems about the value for a 3rd tier player .

Teams really dont care about picks nowadays

Considering how the 2nd apron is like a hard cap, teams should be valuing good cheap young talent more than ever now...

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

That's a massive overpay for Bane

[Castle Black]

What in God's name is Orlando doing

[SOUL]

RealGM fans jerking off pick trades again name a better combo

Do you not think this is a significant overpay?

Overpay yes, significant? To be seen. We still have our entire core.

I think every board overrates picks. I was defending the Gobert/Mikal trades while 99% of people were reacting this same way.

I'll take a 26 year old 22/5/5 guy on 48/41/90 to a team desperate for shooting.

We still need point guard play, but I think we should or could use our MLE to get that in addition to already having Suggs/Bane/AB/Franz/Paolo all handle the ball.

[SkyBill40]

Now it’s bad. Giving up the Phoenix 1st that could be number 1 next year. wtf are they doing? I know KCP and Cole are bad contracts but still.

PHX will definitely be bad but they're not going to fall that far. Come on now.

Do you see them making the Playoffs?

Honestly depends on what we get for Durant and how the off-season goes. Could be a low seed. I don't see them failing so poorly though that they end up with top 3 odds in the lottery though.

Wowww. Memphis just finessed the hell out of the Magic. This makes the Luka trade look even more shady.

[10DayContract]

This is a Mikal Bridges-level heist by Memphis.

Bridges is better than Bane!

Hell naw.

I was just gonna say.

That trade is now okay especially for Dallas since they clearly got the *wink wink* from Adam Silver by getting gifted the 1st pick.

[Karate Diop]

I know the Magic have been craving a competent wing for years now, but they really played themselves. The Grizzlies were not negotiating from a position of strength.

They better get something great for Durant. They were 3-17 in games he missed.

You can get the #1 without Top 3 odds. Its a very valuable pick.

[Slimjimzv]

I would say that this trade was a reach by the Magic, but that word cannot apply to Desmond Bane.

[Godymas]

Mikal Bridges, Rudy Gobert

guys the market is set. This is the value of a potential 3rd best player

[Tor_Raps]

Bane is a great fit for Orlando but they extremely overpaid for someone you can say is overpaid to be a 3rd option.

Does Memphis even have control of their own picks to bottom out? The real winners could be whoever holds their picks.

[AddiFB]

I wonder how any GM other than Sam Presti has a job in the NBA when RealGM is full of more qualified, knowledgable and experienced (in 2K) GMs.

[MrBigShot]

Absolutely WILD overpay

[dockingsched]

The type of trade you make if you have a top tier superstar cornerstone in place, so Banchero needs to be that or people going to be fired.
