✍️ The Orlando Magic traded four first-round picks and a first-round swap to acquire Desmond Bane, a non-star player, from the Memphis Grizzlies. The trade was seen as a surprise, but the Magic's front office made a calculated decision to pay a premium for a player who fits their team's identity and is on a manageable contract.
