Bain 1 exchanges 7 sparked heated discussion: Doncic only exchanges 1 first round, OG exchanges 0 first round, and is bad compared with Gobert 1 exchanges 10

The first big deal in the NBA offseason was reached, and the Magic changed from the Grizzlies to Bain with Cole Anthony, Pope, 4 first-round picks and 1 slight protection first-round swap. The four first round picks in this transaction are not protected, and the 1-for-7 transaction has sparked heated discussion.

The US media HC said bluntly: Bain changed four first-round picks, and I was heartbroken when I saw it.

The US media posted a three-party transaction between the Lakers, Jazz and Mavericks at the trading deadline. Doncic actually only changed to one first-round pick:

The Lakers received: Doncic, Kleber, Markieff Morris, 55,000 US dollars in cash;

The Mavericks received: Davis, Christie, 2029 first-round, 55,000 US dollars in cash;

The Jazz received: Shifino, the Clippers' second-round in 2025, and the Mavericks' second-round in 2025;

Duan Ran: One Bain can exchange 4 first rounds and 1 interchange, which more or less disrupts the market order. So how many first round picks should Durant change?

The US media posted the Timberwolves' deal with Gobert. At that time, Gobert was 1 for 10. There were four first-round picks from the Timberwolves in this deal. The US media wrote: Bain's deal distracted you from the worst deals in NBA history.

The Lakers media posted the comparison of Bain and Reeves' data last season, and then wrote: Bain can exchange 4 first-round picks + 1 first-round swap right, so how many first-round picks can the Lihuang change?

Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg wrote: When the Raptors sent Anunobi to the Knicks in December 2023, he didn't even get a first-round pick. Anunobi was our best wing player at the time and he was still an expiring contract. Now seeing Bain’s deal is unsatisfactory.
