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

[The Master]

4 straight L's....what do we make of this deal so far boys?

Magic weren't good enough to make 'we need one more puzzle' type of a trade. But they'll be good, this is East and they have enough talent to be at least decent. They still don't have synergy or legi first option offensively, I'd rather wait and trade Paolo and these picks for a bigger fish, sometimes you just have to wait.

magic really needed shooting and a point guard that can pass and create...after the trade it seems like a magic really needs shooting and a pg that can pass and create

Yeah everybody loves Suggs, but he's not what they need at pg.

Bane out there looking like a slightly better KCP.

35m in cap tied up in centers who can't protect the rim is the bigger issue with this team plus Issac looks completely broken down and washed

[Ssj16]

Bane is killing my fantasy team, I selfishly hope he picks his game back up.

[Dacost]

Bane will pick it up on offense he just needs to adjust.

The issue in my opinion is going to be on defense since Bane is below average at it because of his negative wingspan.

Banchero and Franz are also below or average defenders and Suggs can't guard everyone.

[RookieStar]

Bane knew about the Magic curse where good shooters lose 10% of their 3pt fg%.

Thus he keeps driving instead of shooting 3s. Smart man.

The winner of that trade was Cole Anthony who's been solid for the Bucks thus far.

Franz? An average defender?

Bane is a bad defender now? What happened? Wasn’t he a true 3 and D wing not too long ago?

I could tell you don't watch the Magic, Franz is not a bad defender, lol. And I don't know what the stats say but visually Paolo has surprisingly been good defensively so far.

But it's only been good 6 games, but I think the magic will be fine.

I think the Bucks won this deal.

Bane has started the season in a shooting-slump, but he'll get those percentages up. In Memphis, he always had a stretch each year (usually towards the beginning of the season) where he shot poorly, but he gets it right eventually with a hotstreak down the road.

Anyway, I didn't expect the guy the Grizz ultimately acquired with the Magic pick this year to outshoot Bane at any point in the season, but Cedric Coward has come out of the gate on fire for the Grizz.

Bane was never a 3&D wing lol. He was a great combo guard. His ideal role for the Grizz was a 6th man because him and Ja were literally Dame and CJ reincarnated. We traded him because of that duos defensive deficiency.

Franz is good at defense but I don't see him guarding top wings game in and game out.

That doesn't mean he's an average defender

Blazers grabbing Camara, Avdija, multiple future Bucks picks, got both Lillard and Holidays back and the magic are out here mortgaging their future over a role player.

Management is not always the same

Are you really bragging about getting the contacts of Jrue and Lillard?

[Magicman125]

Not going to lie I'm concerned, but willing to give it til December for them to turn it around before I think anything needs to be changed personnel wise either on the coaching squad or roster.

I still think the deal makes sense so long as Bane's shot comes back and they find a way to utilize his 3 pt shot more (not enough attempts per game from him so far, gotta get him more open looks).

Lillard's new contract isn't bad. He makes solid role player money now.
