Orlando Magic give up big haul to acquire Desmond Bane #orlandomagic #desmondbane #nba
this is Philip Rossman Reich the host of Locked On Magic as the Orlando Magic fire the first shots of the NBA offseason trading Contavius Coldwell Pope Cole Anthony four unprotected first round picks and a firstround pick swap for Desmond Bane of the Memphis Grizzlies now there that is a lot to give up and so this is obviously the big move that we were anticipating for the Orlando Magic this summer what was unexpected is that it’s not for a point guard it’s not for another playmaker or creator and what this tells me is the Orlando Magic believe in what they have they believe in who they are they believe in their overall philosophy now you may agree or disagree with that i think the Magic should have gone after point guards certainly looking at Desmond Bane’s salary would suggest the Magic are going allin on this idea and on this group very clearly though let’s get this out of the way this is an upgrade over Contavius Globe Pope desmond Bane is a solid defender an excellent three-point shooter career 41% three-point shooter shot 39% last year in a down year still averaged 19 points per game the Magic are getting a player who is an upgrade over what they have and will make them better but this fully ensconces Jaylen Suggs as your starting point guard and really changes the complexion of the rest of the Magic’s off season
The Orlando Magic acquired Desmond Bane to solve their shooting struggles and maintain their identity. But they gave up a lot to get him.

Sounds like a TON to give up for this dude. But tbh, I genuinely believe KCP didn't want to be here. He showed it in his play and attitude
The win now is now clear 💯🪄✨️ more moves otw just getting started
I miss Cole😢
Great trade!!!!! Offload KCP contact cost this trade a little extra but getting Bane, a solid 3 point and 3 level scorer who is a above average defender is a great move!
Anybody who doesn’t know ball will say O THEY GAVE AWAY 4 first round picks. They are bottom feeder picks they don’t hold weight. Greta job Orlando let’s go for the title Tatum is hurt it’s destined
bad trade
Great trade, magic gonna win alot of games next year! The 4 1st rounders isn't a big deal, all those pick will be in the mid 20s which is just a bunch of garbage players
Don’t like how much we had to give up but ultimately I believe this trade will be good for the magic
I love it. Exactly the type of player we needed!
Great first move. They are still 1 more move away
Franz is going to be even more of a point/forward, with Jalen and Paolo helping him out bringing up the ball. This is a massive improvement over the last few years!
I don't think it's enough to make them elite and now they pretty much traded away all their draft capital for the next few years while still needing another piece of the puzzle. I see this as putting them in a position where maybe they make it out of the first round next but not quite in contention.
Finally, a guard that can shoot!!
I personally would have liked Monk or Trae. We need a volume scorer in the backcourt
4 first round draft picks is crazy the only way this will be okay if Orlando wins the championship in the next 1-4 years, but I’m glad kcp is gone !
Amazing pickup, Bane is a borderline all star & fits the Magic’s roster
Man why can’t we just have a front office that actually knows what they’re doing?!
Hm…five firsts?
He’s a huge upgrade over KCP, make no mistake.
I like the trade. This was the price we had to pay to get rid of KCP signing. Kcp was a big mistake, but life goes on. Nobody wanted KCP. Now, get rid of Gary Harris. Also, 2 of the picks were from other teams, so im cool with it. im gonna miss Cole Anthony. i hope he goes off in Memphis because i honestly feel like the magic never really gave Cole a real chance to be great.
I guess they see Suggs as the PG moving forward.
Magic don’t need picks literally have 3 1rst rounders on the bench
4 1st rounders and 2 players for Bane? Smfh they gave way too much for him.
Let’s be honest, Bane will hinder teams from double and triple teaming P5 or Franz. This team, won’t have a weakness. They will literally have 4 playmakers in their starting 5 with a flex Center who can shoot 3s. This move unlocked the Magic offense in one move. We might see Orlando win 55 games!!
Go Magic 🎩 ✨️
