Magic got Bain

Grizzlies got Pope and Cole Anthony, 4 first rounds (16th pick in 25 years, the Suns had no protection in 26 years, the Magic had 28 years and 30 years) and 1 first round swap right (29 years protection in 29 years)

It is a good deal, but fortunately it has increased the intensity of competition again.

projection is the Magic's always weak link. When three high-ranking young stars, Kaylo, Wagner Jr. and Sargus already occupy three positions, the direction to improve the projection is also very clear to the No. 5 and No. 2. The space-type No. 5 position is in short supply, everyone wants it, but everyone can't. There are all kinds of strange centers that can be used, and there are only one of the best space types. Carter's transformation is in this direction, and it is not necessary to make a conclusion whether it can be done or not. The Magic invested a lot in the center position, and the value of Carter, Big Wa, Bitaze is 30 million yuan, which is still considered Isaac as a striker. It’s hard to say whether they can compete in an upgraded version in the future. At least the team has confirmed that they need to shoot very much. It is of course much easier to find a shooter at the

2 position. It is not that easy to find a top shooter at No. 2 and have a good defense. Last year, the Magic asked Pope to come to see him, and he was indeed a bit dissatisfied among the voices of dissatisfaction, demonstrating the fact that fans understand the football more than the manager. Why is magic going wrong? Is Pope overrated?

Yes, Pope is overrated, and he played with Jokic and James in two championship seasons, and that level guy can activate him, and the Magic Double Stars are not yet able to do it. More importantly, as a shooter, Pope was not very high at the first level, so he let him ambush the spot and shoot a three-pointer in the bottom corner of the third-line fast break. This is no problem. It's a bit difficult to let him play the first Sagittarius in the space environment where magic is finished, right? Both Pope 3 and D are not considered top-notch. Sometimes it may not be better than Gary Harris, who feels online. Compared to precisely lengthening the short board, the magic operation is more like a failed optimization of overflowing resources, with limited significance.

The transaction that whipped the corpse last year can better understand this year's transaction. Looking at Pope's 34.2% regular season and 26.1% three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs, it is difficult for the Magic management to admit defeat, and it is inevitable that he will silently recite in his heart, "Next time, I will definitely find someone who is accurate." Bain is the leader of Lianzhuang in the single event of the shooter in the "Player Rating Series", and he happens to be the No. 2 position. Who should I look for if I don't look for him?

The reasons are sufficient and the goals are clear, and the rest is to talk about chips. The market was ruined. First, a wolf raised the price of sticks, and then a Ni raised the price of firewood. When it comes to Magic, they can only like to mention the sky-high price of wooden docks. The 4+1 gift package given by Magic should be the first round of medium value after cashing out. There is no need to talk about the 16th ranking. The upper and lower limits of the first round of the Suns in 26 years are not easy to determine. Although the Suns are going to sell Durant, it is not certain whether they sell Booker or not.

Even if Booker is sold, what if Bill leads the team to the playoffs. The value of the 28, 29 and 30 first rounds of the

Magic depends on their own continuity of the team building.

If I were me, I would definitely not be able to get Bain's 4+1 gift package. But since the Knicks need 5 first rounds to get Bridges, it is not uncommon for the Magic to get 4+1 first rounds to get Bain. Thinking about Pope's contract may be defined as "cleaning up" in the transaction, Anthony can't say it's positive. Generally speaking, the Magic spent the market price to get the players they urgently needed. The more interesting thing is actually the Grizzly Bear.

I thought of the grizzlies making some changes during their vacation. The rumors about Morant are not a day or two, and if Morant is able to move, then others should be able to do so. Bain is within my radar search range, but he is a little expensive for some teams. Now that Bain was sent away before Morant, the situation for the Grizzlies became confusing - are they buyers or sellers?

If Bain is sent away is just the first step for the Grizzlies to destroy their homes, then snatching 3J will become one of the new main lines of the next vacation.

If Bain is sent away is part of the Grizzlies' reshaping the lineup, and they will use the chips obtained by sending away Bain to strengthen them, then the Grizzlies will become one of the buyers who grab important players in the market.

I tend to think that the Grizzlies didn't press the restart button completely, and this deal was more like a charging force before a heavy blow. Although Morant has spent two disappointing seasons in a row, he is back. Although the Grizzlies proved that they would be fine without Morant, they still need the first star with a high enough ceiling to gain a seat in the upper half of the West.

Morant is qualified?

This is a question, so Morant is not ruled out. But the Grizzlies cannot simply build a team around 3J without Bain, Morant, and without introducing another star. Eddie and Wells are temporarily unable to see the upper limit of becoming another core outside of 3J. So, as long as the Grizzlies don't plan to completely push them down, they hold this handful of chips in their hands - draft picks, young people, multiple contracts that can be used for balance - should be regarded as a potential buyer.

The Grizzlies have sufficient reasons to become Durant's potential suitor. The Grizzlies have enough chips. Although Durant is still very strong, he is old after all, and before he knows it, it becomes an expiring contract. The Grizzlies can afford it. More importantly, the Grizzlies have been greedy for top small forwards for a day or two, with defenders and insiders, and the one with the worst is the No. 3 position. After buying Durant, the Grizzlies can fill in this gap. The defenders - forwards - inside have stars. With their own deep skills, they will be a very strong force in the West.

Of course, all this happens requires Durant to promise to renew the contract. Grizzlies management generally does not take risks, without Durant's promise, the risk of using chips to waste water is sluggish. This is not something Grizzlies management can do.. Therefore, the Grizzlies may also be potential buyers of other runaway stars, and they should be more active in the market. And if the Grizzlies can't change for a while, hold the money and wait and see, live a life first, and then make do with it, it's not impossible.

After all, such a plot is even more grizzly.

If my judgment is wrong, the Grizzlies are rebuilt, then there is nothing to say. Grab a 3J-23.4 million contract with expiration is discounted from salary to chips. If 3J also has childhood dreams, maybe it can be discounted more - all teams that strive for the best will be done.

Trading Evaluation: Magic B-, Grizzlies A
