We’ve seen NBA teams do something similar in recent years. The Clippers traded five first-round picks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for Paul George; the Knicks traded five first-round picks for Mikal Bridges; and the Magic traded four first-round picks for Bane.

The first domino has fallen, and it was a surprise. The Memphis Grizzlies sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony and FOUR unprotected first-round picks as well as one lightly protected pick swap.

Desmond Bane finally broke his silence after the news dropped about the blockbuster trade between the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies.
