Just now! 1 for 7 major transactions! The order of the trading market is completely in chaos!

Good guy, real big deals are all sudden! According to famous reporter Shams, the Grizzlies traded Bain to Magic, exchanged for Pope + Cole Anthony + four unprotected first-round picks + one first-round pick exchange right!

According to Shams's additional report, sources revealed that the Orlando Magic will give the Memphis Grizzlies the 16th pick in the first round of 2025, the Phoenix Suns' first round of 2026, and the Magic's own 2028 and 2030 unprotected first-round picks. The 2029 first-round draft pick swaps are slightly protected. In response, Shams commented: "This is a huge change for the Orlando Magic, giving them the opportunity to compete in the Eastern Conference, and for the Grizzlies, it is a matter of increasing the championship's defensive wings, increasing the backcourt depth and obtaining a large number of draft picks."

Shams also said that Magic President Jeff Weltman clearly stated that the team has adopted an aggressive and winning strategy in the offseason, and they kicked off the summer on Sunday, adding Bain to the core roster led by Ban Keiro, Wagner Jr. and Sages. According to additional reports from TA Magic reporter Josh Robbins, the Magic's draft picks were the No. 16 picks this year, with swaps in the first round of 2026, the first round of 2028, the first round of 2030 and the first round of 2029 (the top two picks protected). In the 2024-25 season, Bain played 69 games for the Grizzlies, averaging 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 39.2%. Facing the league's No. 1 Thunder in the playoffs, Bain's performance shrank, averaging only 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, 3.8 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 31.7%, and 21.9% of three-pointers. During the 2023 offseason, Bain and the Grizzlies renewed their contract early in a five-year, $207 million contract, including a 15% trading margin (about $5.7 million), which will last until the 2028-29 season, with Bain's annual salary of $44.89 million.

This trade magic directly improved the problem of insufficient firepower on the outside, and Bain also took into account certain defensive ability and ball-holding ability. Since entering the NBA in 2020, Bain is one of only three players to hit 800+ three-pointers and have a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%. Over the past five seasons, he has hit 43.2% from the 3-point range. His joining will greatly improve the Magic's performance in three-point shooting percentage, which ranks at the bottom of this data this season. But buying at the cost of 4 first rounds + 1 swaps still invested a lot, which was a bit disrupting the market order. The NBA season has not ended yet, and all kinds of rumors have already started, and big deals are impatient. Now think about Gobert's 5 first rounds, Bain also had 5, and Bridges had 6, so how many first rounds Durant deserves? How many can Antetokounmpo be replaced? I dare not even think about it. Now that the Lakers only used one first round, they were more or less magical. After this deal, the Magic's core lineup is: Sages, Bain, Wagner, and Bankairo. Do you think this lineup can reach the first echelon in the East? Tatum cannot play next season, so the Celtics will definitely withdraw from the first echelon.

Grizzlies have accumulated so many assets at once, and it is a huge profit to exchange for the two players' combat power and the first round of 4 + 1 first round swap. I'm really curious whether they will use these draft assets to make some big news, such as Durant? Or should I sell everything I can sell and completely rebuild it? Can Morant be sold? Can 3J be sold? It's so magical, everyone is looking forward to it, this year's offseason has gone crazy early.
