It brings an opportunity for the Grizzlies to add a quality defensive wing and a major haul of draft picks to utilize, as per Charania. Grizzlies picked Desmond Bane as the 30th pick in the 2020 NBA draft.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick swap, sources tell ESPN. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UcQnmHbgZb\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/UcQnmHbgZb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1934266665035841856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Also Read:  <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/minnesota-timberwolves-and-miami-heat-emerge-front-runners-among-kevin-durants-possible-landing-spots\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat Emerge Front-Runners Among Kevin Durant&rsquo;s Possible Landing Spots<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morant Drops His Emotions after Desmond Bane&rsquo;s Move to Orlando, Wishes His Teammate Farewell <\/h2><p>After knowing the trade story, Desmond Bane&rsquo;s teammate Ja Morant made the first reaction on his social media handle.

Curry and Thompson still share a good bond and we will see the same when Bane will take on Morant in the NBA next season. <\/p><p>Ja Morant had a 125-82 record in games he played with Desmond Bane, according to StatMuse. It shows the value of this duo to the Memphis Grizzlies, who made into the NBA playoffs in 2024-25 season. With a 60.4% winning percentage, Morant and Bane helped Memphis to become a formidable squad in the West. <\/p><p>During the five years, Desmond Bane guided Memphis Grizzlies to the NBA postseason four times but only made it past the first round once. This year, they qualified to the playoffs through Play-In tournament but were thrashed by the Western Conference champions, OKC Thunder. Grizzlies will get Kentavious Caldwell-Pope into the starting lineup in place of Bane, who was underperformer this season. Cole Anthony will also be a good asset for Memphis and it&rsquo;s important to see how they use him in the roster. <\/p><p>On the other side, Bane&rsquo;s arrival will surely help Orlando Magic to make an impact in the East. This season, the Magic finished 7th in the regular-season and reached the NBA playoffs where the Celtics knocked them out 4-1 in the first-round series. <\/p><p><em>Mandatory Credit: Petre Thomas-Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ja Morant had a 125-82 record in games he played with Desmond Bane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":64631,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[3180,115,647],"class_list":["post-64605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-desmond-bane","tag-ja-morant","tag-nba-2024-25"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
