The Grizzlies just shook the city up — trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, and multiple picks. 📦
GM Zach Kleiman called it “a great trade for Orlando” but said Memphis had to make tough moves due to the NBA’s new financial rules. With Jaren Jackson Jr. due for a big extension, keeping Bane would’ve pushed the team into a $40M-per-player dilemma.
To fill the gap, the Grizzlies also traded up in the draft — swapping the
#16 pick for
#11 and sending Portland extra picks to make it happen.
📉 Bane’s gone.
📈 Big decisions ahead.
Stay tapped in — Memphis basketball ain’t done yet.
