In this episode, we break down the blockbuster trade between the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies that sends Desmond Bane to Orlando in exchange for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, and a haul of draft picks.

We dive into why the Magic made an aggressive push for Bane, how he fits alongside Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, and what this move signals for their playoff ambitions. On the flip side, we explore how Memphis leveraged Bane’s value to reload with veteran shooting, backcourt depth, and five valuable draft assets—including unprotected firsts and a pick swap.

Was this a win-now overpay by Orlando or a smart long-term bet? Did Memphis maximize their return? We’ve got all the angles, cap implications, and team-building insights you need.

Tap in for a full breakdown and what this trade means for both franchises going forward.
