The NBENFANT Thread (NBA): 2023-2024 Edition!

Bane traded to the Magic for KCP and a bunch of draft picks.

There goes that hope of Simons getting traded. I would have liked that trade down option for #16/#25 to still be available to the blazers…

If Simons would have fetched that return I would have been ecstatic.

Even some Memphis superfan influencers on Twitter who LOVE Bane were laughing at how good a trade this was for the Grizzlies and how much of an overpay it was.

I’m starting to have a hunch Cronin does value Simons to this level. He also probably feels that if they’re getting low-ball offers, it’s due to his contract expiring and teams worried they will lose him for nothing in a season… more reason for everyone to prepare for a Simons extension this summer.

I gotta credit the Magic--they went and got their guy. Assuming health, I could see the Magic being Top 5 in the weak East.

Still feels like an overpay, but Magic are shooting their shot. Obviously, Bane is miles better than Simons. And yeah...I fully expect an extension for Simons, which would be compounding the multiple blunders of keeping him around for too long.

I was thinking the same thing. And I'm betting it looks like Memphis is going a reset/rebuild with that move. Ja Morant is likely going to be moved this summer too.

All reports from those close to Memphis are saying this is not the case, actually the exact opposite. They aren't looking to move either Ja or JJJ after the Bane trade.

Did y'all know Ben McLemore was arrested for raping a 21-year old girl from Lake Oswego? I hadn't heard about that. He's gonna spend 8-years in the Oregon State Pen..
