Well he’s not a paper tiger like bridges and is a way better shooter. He’s also a better defender because bridges is soft and can only use his length against non physical wings.

(not arguing the value, it's a LOT - just the perception of Bane changing suddenly.)


Bane is a very good SG, but this is Mikal Bridges/Rudy Gobert-level overpay.

I think Bane fits with the Magic system since he isn't a ball-dominant player. The Magic are betting Banchero as the #1 option and Wagner and Bane being 2-3 depending on the day is good enough to make a Pacer-like run to the Finals.

I can't really blame the Magic for making this move, but I don't know how they were convinced they could give up so much.


I mean both those teams eventually ended up in the WCF after those trades. I don’t think the Magic would mind that result at all.

The Phoenix pick next year (I could see them implode) and the swap seems like an overkill.

Luka for AD still much worse. But it does feel like an overpay from the magic. Maybe they feel they have a shot of getting out of the east next season

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 :lol:

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.

Overpay? Bane is considered a bad contract at close to 40 million per and Magic trade all their future draft assets for him?!

That said agreed Luka trade was rigged af
