If Bayne was on like a 4 year $100 million contract I'd be fine with that trade for Orlando... but Bane is going to be making $39, $42, $45 million coming up he's getting max money as a fringe all-star his trade value shouldn't be that high. He isn't going to all of the sudden become like a Jalen Brunson type.

Finding a good 3rd option is getting hard and expensive. We probably already got that in Ivey but we need a number 2.

Don't get my comment wrong, I think its fine to pay him $39, $42, $45 million per year. I just don't think at that price, he should be worth 4 future firsts including #16 in this draft and an unprotected 2026 pick from Phoenix as well.

Price feels too high for a 3rd best player on a fringe playoff team making max money like Bane. Tyler Herro makes less money, has actually been an all-star, and I'd also be surprised to see him fetch 4 unprotected firsts and a pick swap even though he makes less per year than Bane.

Part of the reason that the Bridges trade seemed ok for NY at the time was because he was on a bit of a bargain deal for his output not on a max contract extension.

It’s just the math though when it comes to late picks. There’s 300 solid 1-10 rotation players on 30 teams, if you figure 35? Picks make it every year, that’s about 10% in new, and 10% out every year, even at 450 players and 8% in and out rate, there’s not 37 2nd rounders making it over a five year basis so those 37 guys come from somewhere and the highest % would be draft spots 20-35. Not lottery picks for the most part.

Yeah I actually really like this trade for Orlando. Didn't think Bane would get dealt. I think they are a better team than us now honestly. If healthy of course.

In my opinion, we underestimate our boys a lot. Ivey can play better than Bane, and he's younger, that's if he's coming off a major injury. Honestly, if there aren't any suitable offers on the market, I wouldn't go crazy. Keeping the kids growing is very, very important.

Orlando made a mistake. Not only because of the price (which is crazy for a player who's very good but not among the best), but because they don't even know yet if their two best players, Wagner and Paolo, will be able to play together at a good level.

There aren't many teams that can offer money this year, I'd swear it's just us and the Nets.I really think Beasley and Dennis will return, and I think THJ will go to another team.

My man. Bane is a baller

Lol...fact....and Orlando has FULL trust & belief in Paolo/Franz as their duo to lead them. That why they make a trade like this.

Zero questions or doubt.
