Gilbert Arenas HATES The Desmond Bane Trade
so good after finding out about the trade uh you posted this on threads orlando Magic right now uh four unprotected first picks for Bang you have a clown wig on throwing up the peace sign you have on Orlando Magic jersey so did the Magic get fleece for Desmond Bay fleece they’re not fleece they’re just dumb think so what you think so it’s Orlando it’s tax write off like it’s it’s literally Orlando Magic they just it’s Orlando Magic like I mean I’m sorry but there’s some teams out here that just don’t care so they don’t care about their future they’re just they got they’re not they’re not good enough to win a championship to have to give away four unprotected like you don’t give away four unprotected first round picks because you don’t know what they’re going to turn into right i mean Dynasties was built off of stupid decisions like this that’s how Lakers got a lot of picks that’s how Boston got p unprotected that’s how you know uh Detroit got the second pick i mean it could have been mellow or you know but they chose but that’s how they got that pick right you you are you’re the trade is fine it’s the picks you don’t know what’s going to happen to your team right at least protected at least top three but to have unprotected and you get the number one two pick if something happens to your team you just lost that but they don’t really care about building they want people right now because this was a win now move obviously win now but a team that’s not going to win now you’re not good enough to win now your franchise I mean from when I was there and before I was there that is Disneyland it’s entertainment they’re not trying to win a championship the grandfather was a tax write off the father was a tax write off the kids was a tax write off and the the kids are the kids grant is a tax write- off they’re just using this for tax write-off he owns the White Socks too tax write off hey I mean this is I mean you know but I just I mean I mean the smart man to say “Yeah I give you the four picks but I’m going to at least protect top four.” Did they have to give away that many though no they could have gave away one or two i guess you want to get rid of KCP that bad well one of them picks ain’t there so it don’t matter so it just feel though it seem like a lot though then one of them is swap it is what it is man they go ahead no bane no no no fans can play the trade the trade itself is a good trade though that’s a lot but and they ain’t going to be in the lottery but their thought process is that they going to be with that they not going to have them picks no way so so if they if it’s the pickers in the 20s they don’t they they looking at it in that manner so I know Jamal trying to win I don’t know what he talking about trying to win the coach the coach trying to win I don’t know the front the owners write offs all that [ __ ] fine and dandy i know the head coach he trying to [ __ ] win and they can tatum is hurt next year celtics I mean the Pacers I mean ain’t no juggernaut in the East no more right now this is the time right now young [ __ ] going to get at least next year we don’t know about the next year after that but this coming year anybody can win the East that’s a squad sean what do you think about the Magic Bringing in a proven 20 point game score three-point threat and Desmond Bane to help bolster their roster they got Wagner they got Hollow Ban Carol jaylen Suggs be coming back this year it seems Well I mean you have a sensible mind right i’m a reasonable human longwinded everything starts with foundation correct right i think you’re building something you start with the foundation and they have foundation they develop foundation they showed promise up until what third in the East second in the East maybe for two years straight they’ve been showing progression and what’s the one thing they lack shooting at that what position two okay all right so we we handle that right still got Anthony Black over there suggs we still got some guys who can move and shake this is one particular move right if you start with foundation you’re not going to sit there and rely on those unprotected picks to be something that you get down the line you got to stand firm on we building from here this is gonna be a guy who’s gonna put us where Paulo can’t double him Wagna can’t double him bang you might want to send one sometimes coming off whatever right and then you don’t know what you can get in a trade they might be setting up which could which can bring somebody to Orlando now you look at Orlando New York and Cleveland three teams that nobody would ever predict that go over and above Milwaukee Philadelphia and what was the other powerhouse in the in the East boston boston right you think those would be there because of who they got and then these other teams are starting to creep up because it’s real basketball being played and a small mark okay don’t do that George we we not here for that okay speaking of the small market we not here for that [ __ ] 2024 Magic finished fifth in the East go go go go go to seven with the Cavs last season dealt with a bunch of injuries paulo and Wagner missed a ton of games injuries finished seventh finished seventh with a bunch of but they man injuries how many how many injuries i mean they at least 40 games so Carol and Mr turner game like you don’t know like you say what them picks going to become man it could be something it couldn’t be something but we not going we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it man like they got something like we’ll cross that bridge you got somebody that you know what this [ __ ] going to go out there and do right now he a 20 point score he’s shooting 40 from three whatever you high clip from three you know we the only do so Des B a good basketball player man we close we close we close and we say we might not be close to winning but what’s New York yeah no man we feel like we can beat New York any given time we match up with them and Indiana we feel like we got Indiana number only getting better [ __ ] you know it’s it’s always say [ __ ] them pics because what I was told is usually people who give away pics they don’t trust their own eye so they’re rather a player already be developed because they don’t want to develop them cool so I rather give you my picks give me proven players today i’m with it but history has shown that those picks those picks have changed dynasties because just like Dallas got the number one pick that came from somebody who didn’t think they were going to be in a lottery most and they end up being a lottery players aren’t developed like that anymore yeah memphis ain’t going to be no dynasty no [ __ ] time soon who said anything about cuz that’s where the picks going the picks went to Memphis but are they staying there though but yes the [ __ ] picks staying there cuz Memphis they don’t need them they going to make [ __ ] yes i’m saying Memphis ain’t going to be no D soon so we not No who they turn into i’m talking about Orlando this don’t have nothing to do with they but the pics went to Memphis you said the pics went to Memphis yes the pigs go to Memphis so we don’t know who the picks don’t become you said okay now what those picss have become a dynasty you you These are your words yes those picks went to Memphis memphis a Orlando dog but they traded them if Orlando loses next year hold on if if if they get hurt like they did this year it’s a bunch of ifs again if they get hurt like they did this year and they get a top three pick if if it’s protected they get that pick if if not if it goes to them so you always want to put a condom on your picks cuz you don’t know what’s going to happen to your team in the next four or six years this is this is a sixyear giveaway gift you already the straight up they got good you don’t want a raw dog to pay oh you you’re saying they’re looking at the college landscape that’s what I was looking at there ain’t nothing out there to develop they looking at the college landscape over the next three four five years hell yeah that’s what I What is out there nothing what is going on the NIL is going on these kids are not Do you know how many kids went back to school this year kids are not coming out Gil they’re looking at the landscape moving forward orlando at the landscape moving forward is there anybody out there that’s coming up in high school college right now that we looking at that possibility if we keep the could help us and they came up with the answer no not in the next three years so therefore we’re willing to get off of these picks to get a guy that we think that can help us in the area that we struggle with which is shooting threes easy to We solve the problem you already had him there there was no way you You don’t think that deal would have been done if I said I want to protect You can have four picks i protect the top three picks what was Bane’s contract what was Bane’s 5year 197 they had 197 bane got 197 so four years left 162 left on the deal what was the line that is is that what happened that’s how Golden State got the number two pick that’s how it happened but going in like they going to get hurt is that Is that what happened what what you just said no the the the franchise is under pressure so they just wanted to get off of KCP so they just did whatever to make the deal done so they offered so so they thought they was filling the void when they signed KCP he defended was supposed to be a three and it didn’t happen that didn’t pan out and he gave up on him last and he gave up whatever the case may be so now you go out and get a guy that’s 20 game multiple years option for the Memphis Grizzlies so we’re filling a void in that manner like I said they looking at the landscape man moving forward the next however many years ain’t nobody out there that can help us and they wouldn’t be there they don’t got the picks they they they they drafted bigs and this and card so they did so they got everything else in place jonathan Isaac are you actually listening to what I’m saying yes I hear what you’re saying so you’re saying Yes I hear that yes I hear exactly what you’re saying i listened you don’t want You don’t want Bane i’m giving you four first round picks but I want to protect the top three cool but they You think You think Memphis said “Nah we want it unprotected.” Yes wrong they offered it they just wanted So is that what I asked you is that what happened for facts so you know that for facts that’s what I’m ask I asked you that offer too much that’s what I asked huh did they offer too much they just wanted to get rid of KP so much that they just offered I think they were sold on Bang too they was like they was like he’s he’s the perfect fit for our team if that’s your guy there’s no business I got to worry about today and I got to worry about tomorrow so even if even if you’re doing a deal with me if your coach ain’t going to be there I’m giving you four picks i’m giving you four picks away i’m going to protect the back two just in case no more how much do KCP average i’m going to protect the back i’m going to protect the back too kcp averages nine points a game we want to get rid of him so bad we’re going to get a 20 point a night guy yeah there’s no price that you ain’t willing to pay for that well just tell me how it makes sense how How would I go how would I go trying to get rid of something that I don’t want to getting something I ain’t never got over got to overpay for it got to overpay for it bang got to overpay got it looking around the market and you’re like “Well what could we get for this right now that even makes sense for us?” Extension you know that don’t mean no G it does not but didn’t want him to say what they’ve been right to your point absolutely doesn’t mean a thing these days signing extension as a coach don’t mean an absolute thing they firing them left and right right not win win a championship get fired it don’t so it don’t matter coach of the year you get fire it don’t matter right yeah but I think they see something within what they have and they going to ride with it for the next however many four years and if it don’t 3 4 years and if it don’t work then they going to get off of it and they got rid of Co Anthony too that they didn’t that they didn’t want think about that and he was easy contract to get off the ACP got two years 43 million player option in that final year coony’s got two years 26 million but a team option yeah they got they got Howard Steel Black so they still got people that they got a good young they got a good young I mean you’re acting like I’m saying that the deal was fine i get what you’re saying he offered too much like you you was so scared to try to negotiate that you just said four unprotected they didn’t want to negotiate yeah they didn’t want to negotiate no I don’t want to negotiate man i just want to give this here i won’t bang i won’t bang and I was like you could have just said hey last two year the last two picks protected just in case this is six seven years from now i’m Memphis i don’t know where my program’s going to be uh just in case we might [ __ ] around get the number one pick and I get to keep it just in case they got the number one pick in Pinko so they don’t need another number six years from now uh this 2029 i’m trying to figure out like okay you guys want my guy our second guy he’s 22 a night damn near he could be 25 a night 40% from the three you think we just going to give him up for N Cole Anthony and KCP nah straight up bane and them straight up come on got to dress it up a little listen you got to take the condom off you got to You got to put makeup on this pig for Orlando they got to tell her you got to tell this you got to tell her she got to show up with no panties they’ve been trying for five years to get that i like Orlando i like that they’ve been swinging at it they’ve been swinging that swing i’ve been missing this they got it this time man you got to throw the And they got something good for him he held four court down when Jaw was out hell yeah he held that [ __ ] down when much as he much as he could as much as he could well off the ball with them he plays off the ball he plays well catch and shoot dude man we talked about it east appears to be a little wide open now tatum injury but how much does Bane move the needle for Orlando in the East talking about a team that was fifth in 2024 seventh last season but dealt with some injuries had some scoring issues you going to help now you rolled out a line of thugs Bane Ben Carol Waggy Wagy Jamal go to that window go to a lot of pin down another year under them young boys belt man top four they’ll be all right they can be top four top five depending on what else happened where they was the year before depending on what happened with Jonathan KD but they was five the year before right yeah they seven games with with the Cavs especially with them bum ass Cavs and through the year last year they was like two three yeah they started out they started out good injuries to to Ben Carroll and Wagiwag they really want it it feels what they it feels what they need right now but but can this squad make a run like the Rockets saying get to that top two top three in the East why not making a run making a run for making a run in regular season is regular season like you know this is they got to get out this is this is getting out of the second round will they get out of the second round with this pick so will they get to the conference finals basically is your point depends on matchups man depends on what they playing on match upatch it all well we all know how this [ __ ] has been man matchups injuries [ __ ] year in year out somebody’s out somebody get hurt doing if it’s unfortunate but it happens so just depends on where they finish if they finish healthy or not if they do they going to have a better record than they did last year we know that just depends on who they match up with yeah okay that’s it and last on last thing on the the magic front so Desmond Bane will wear number three with the Magic uh Magic fans are calling him Three Rex that’s his nickname because of the cuz he got short arms the T-Rex arm how do y’all feel about that nickname terrible you just came up with that yeah I about to say did you make that up twitter user Lron he just blamed it on Twitter twitter user Lacrosse was the first one to tweet it that’s how you pick on me that’s not how I get down that’s what the chat’s saying no [ __ ] that’s what you said that what the chat saying is a good go-to whenever you have something on your mind but no Twitter user l crimes was the first one to tweet it out rex that’s terrible they don’t got no neck just call him by his name desmond why not it’s what his mama named him okay mama call him Dez i’m call so now let’s look at it from the Grizzly

Ok
Gilbert never has any idea what he talking about
Why are they talking like the Bane Man not a borderline all star ?
The Lakers will ja and Gianni's
Gil son will play for Lakers
Bih don't disrespect theO bruh u lame
These guys have no knowledge whatsoever of Orlando’s situation. They’ve been rebuilding for years and got a young core. They don’t need picks. Also they picks aren’t lottery so 25 and higher apart from this years 16th pick. Magic secretly won this trade
Bañé is a good pickup.. tf is he talking about 😂 they have a solid young core
I'm with Gil. I think that Memphis still does the deal if the past two picks were Top 3 Protected. Like he said, we are talking about 5 years down the line, why not cover your teams azz??? 😉
The disconnect in this conversation
How many of the draft picks become anything? It seems like the top picks don't amount to much.
Gil, tell me you’re a casual without telling me you’re a casual. Let it go
its bs trades like this is why teams expect so much for players bane is barley worth 1 first rounder he has tiny hands and is just not a great player.
This is the first podcast that doesn’t think it was a good trade for the magic, shocker.
Gilbert also is clown as fuck
People clown mccants but he knows his shit a lot of the time
Funny how when it comes to the Knicks it’s always negative feedback when it comes to the picks for Knicks they gave up for Mikal and they made ecf.
With Knicks everyone hating on the picks we gave up for Mikal but with magic it’s a good move i don’t fucking get it
It’s a win win for Orlando it’s time to get a RING 😮
Kenyon is 100% correct.
Orlando is going to be good the next few seasons for sure.
Desmond Bane about to blow up!!!!!
( Martin voice) Lol
Tryna ration unprotected picks for bane stupid
It's way too early to criticize this trade. Orlando is a good team that filled a need. Time will tell!
Gilbert arenas was a good player but now nothing than a clown!!
As a Magic fan, this comment section all Ws. Gil still salty
I totally agree 🏀 bad trade
Reminds me of Siakim getting traded and we see how it’s going.
