Although the head of the head coach Xiao Hua did not want the player market to surpass the finals, he still failed to prevent the big deal from happening. Before the recent "KD Where to Qun" that has continued to attract widespread attention, the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies made a big deal first - the Grizzlies gave the "short-handed bully" Desmond Bain, while the Magic gave 4 unprotected first rounds + 1 first round swap + Cole Anthony + Pope. The first shot in the trading market is truly a shocking effect, both because it happened without warning and unexpectedly, and because the scale of the transaction is doomed to be extraordinary. The Magic really spent a lot of money on the first round of 4 first rounds + 1 first two protection. In order to convince the Grizzlies management, they were unreserved. I believe many fans will feel that the Magic lost a lot of money to give so many chips for a player who has only won the second team of the Best Rookie.

But whether a transaction is worth it must not only look at the book value, the key is also to look at the efficacy. The Magic obviously don’t want to wait any longer. They are eager to win in the present. After winning so many first rounds over the years, they also understand that there is no way to complete the reconstruction by just the draft. It is said that the Magic have an obsession with choosing a defender, but in fact, neither Cole Anthony, Sargers or Black are the materials for the No. 1 position. Fultz, who had the only chance to become the commander of the ball-holding nuclear power, was unable to meet the expectations of the outside world because of a strange disease.

Now, Magic finally found a reliable number one position, a field commander who can activate Banchero and Wagner, and Sargus can finally return to the second position he is familiar with, without being forced to do the organization he is not good at, everyone performs their own duties and has a bright future. So, what's wrong with being able to make up for the last shortcoming and fulfilling a long-cherished wish even if the bid is high? From this perspective, as long as magic can get on the right track and achieve results, this deal will not lose.

So what are the grizzly bears? In fact, as early as the middle of the season, when the Pelicans revealed that they wanted to trade Zion Williams, the Grizzlies were already deeply inspired and ready to put Morant on the shelves and see what kind of storms can cause in the trading market. In other words, since then, there has been no non-sale products on the team. The management has been considering the next reconstruction cycle, but unexpectedly, Bain is the one who left first. Part of the reason is the conflict between "short-handed bully" and Aldama, which is regarded by the management as an unstable factor and thinks he is not the leader of the locker room; on the other hand, the magic bid is too high, and it is really hard for people to refuse. The question is, what should the grizzly bears do next? Many people have noticed that among these four first rounds, there is a 26-year unprotected first round from the Suns, which is easy to remind people whether the Grizzlies will also join Durant's trading battle. The answer is probably no. The Grizzlies have already planned to start rebuilding, so it would be meaningless for them to find a 36-year-old KD. Durant is not the kind of mature leader who is willing to help young people grow. Both sides have no foundation to get the necessary one. So, in the next step, the Grizzlies are likely to continue to sell their immediate combat power, including Morant, and the Memphis supermarket is about to open.
