A big part is KCP’s contract. Dude was so ass last year the 4 picks are basically for Memphis to eat that contract.

Bane has an insane contract. He can hoop too. Good move by Orlando. All they needed was a shooter.

Crazy man. Paolo and Franz got injured. They made a push and were a shooter away from making noise. The Bane signing is guaranteed production from deep, what KCP was supposed to be. Orlando will be in the playoffs next season.

Do we know the +/- of the contracts? If Orlando has made room to get more pieces this could be a good move for making a better roster

Picks for a player is no offset in cap. Orlando had money to spend which made the Bane move feasible. Like I said he has a crazy contract. This is probably the only significant move Orlando makes this off season.

The KCP contract is the reason it was 4 picks.

I would rather have KCP for his current money than Cole Anthony for his

But that’s not the point, the point is that you think the Grizz are capable of dumping Bane and the reason they’re getting Mikal/Gobert trade levels of picks back is because of the contract they’re taking on? Be fr

Cole Anthony is only making $13 mil a year while KCP is getting paid $22 mil a year for a guy averaging 9 points 2 rebounds and 2 assists Also Brian Windhorst was the main one so far to reason that the KCP contract was the main reason that price was so hefty with picks where you may not have even needed 2 firsts to get Bane to getting 4 picks. Also just look anywhere most people call KCP’s contract a shit contract

Unless you seriously think Desmond Bane deserves 4 picks and are just that delusional

He’s an elite perimeter defender who, despite having his worst three point shooting season since 2019, dropped league average true shooting and will likely return to form this year. He doesn’t turn the ball over and has been a part of two chips. Neither team looked better after dumping him. This is not a coincidence

Des isn’t worth four 1sts on his own, but these deals come with a tax because they’re done during the offseason and there are presumably many more potential suitors. He’s a 27 year old pure shooter getting traded to a contender to whom the picks are basically worthless. That’s why they pay a premium, not KCP

He was bad this year, but I think it’s less a cause for concern that he had a down shooting year more than anything else
