Desmond Bane Traded to Magic in Major Deal with Grizzlies

On June 15, 2025, the Memphis Grizzlies sent Desmond Bane to Orlando in a deal that brought multiple players and first-round draft picks in return.
The trade occurred as Memphis sought roster changes after firing coach Taylor Jenkins and facing playoff struggles in recent seasons.
Orlando acquired 26-year-old sharpshooter Desmond Bane, who averaged 19.2 points and 5.3 assists last season, while Memphis received Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, a package of four unprotected first-round selections, and a first-round pick swap.
Bane's salary cap hit starts at $36.7 million for 2025-26 and increases yearly, and Memphis' GM Zach Kleiman confirmed they are not trading Ja Morant amid these moves.
This deal positions Orlando with a key scoring asset aiming to improve playoff results, while Memphis gains flexibility for a potential rebuild and future roster adjustments.
