Big news! Bain airborne magic, Grizzlies completely rebuild, Rockets bet on the third point guard in the Western Conference in the first round

Recently, the famous NBA reporter Shams broke out a big NBA transaction news: the Memphis Grizzlies reached a deal with the Orlando Magic, and the Grizzlies sent the team's important player Desmond Bain to the Magic. As a bargaining chip, the Magic sent Kentavius ​​- Pope, Cole - Anthony to the Grizzlies, and also offered four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick to swap rights.

Shams further quoted sources as saying that the Magic was very sincere in getting the draft pick provided by Bain. Among them are the 16th pick in the first round of 2025, and their first round pick in the Phoenix Suns in 2026.

Not only that, the Magic also took out unprotected first-round draft picks in 2028 and 2030. It is worth noting that the 2029 first-round draft pick swap they gave has a slight protection mechanism, which can ensure the Magic's future operation flexibility in the draft to a certain extent.

Judging from the intention behind this deal, the Magic are in the period of playing between Ban Keiro and Wagner Jr., and this deal is obviously to strive for the championship honor; and the Grizzlies sent Bain away, in exchange for players with real-time combat power, but a large number of draft picks, which may indicate that the Grizzlies will start the road to reconstruction.

Houston, which has always been eager to win a superstar, is undoubtedly very happy to see the opening of the Memphis Grizzlies "supermarket". According to the latest report by NBA journalist Haynes, reliable news from sources shows that during this crucial offseason, Houston Rockets general manager Stone has made up his mind to reorganize the team's backcourt double-gun lineup. Specifically, the team will not renew VanVleet's contract, and the Rockets have also formulated a bold trading plan.

It is understood that they plan to include Jaylen Green, Whitmore and Shepard as trading chips, and also take out the No. 10 picks in 2025 and the first round picks that the Rockets have in the future, trying to exchange for star Morant from the Memphis Grizzlies.

Morant is a top breakthrough expert in the league, and his breakthrough ability is second only to Alexander. Not only does he have the ability to create scoring opportunities independently, he can also form a threatening pick-and-roll cooperation with the Rockets' Shin Kyung. Once Morant successfully joins the Rockets, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's offensive firepower and add more chances of winning for the Rockets' future games.
