According to reports, Magic acquires Desmond Bane: Fantasy Impact

While Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder continue to compete in the NBA finals, the rest of the NBA is focused on the future. For the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic, this meant making a major trade on Sunday, according to Shams Charania de Espn. Aimed at Orlando, he is firing in Desmond Bane, and the magic left a lot to acquire his services. It is then shown how basketball affects basketball by 2025-26.

Orlando receives:

Desmond Bane

Although its average score declined this season, Bane’s availability improved after not being able to reach 60 games in any of the previous two campaigns. In 69 appearances, he promised 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 robberies and 2.4 three pointers in 32.0 minutes. Shooting 48.4 percent of the field, 39.2 percent of three and 89.4 percent of the foul line, Bane was a third round player in formats of eight and nine cats. Directing to a team that has a need for perimeter shooting can lift its fantasy roof, even with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner to have basketball in his hands quite frequently. Bane came in last season with a yahoo! ADP of 44; It may be a little earlier in standard league drafts.

Having a Bane Caliber shooter in the program should improve the space for Wagner and Bancovero, with the previous one by promoting 4.7 career attendance this season. Banchero has been a better option for point leagues than category leagues for much of his NBA career, but provided a Top-100 value in eight cats formats by 2024-25. It is also worth seeing from the point of view of fantasy, Jalen Suggs, who was a player of the sixth round before going down with a square injury that ended the season in early March. Playing next to Bane should also benefit from the Suggs, but has only exceeded 55 games once in its first four seasons.

MEMPHIS REP:

Kentavius ​​Caldwell-Pope

Cole anthony

2025 first round selection

2026 Selection of the first round through Phoenix

2028 first round selection

2030 Selection of the first round

2029 Swap first round (slightly protected)

Grizzlies’ decision to be part of Bane Net in the franchise an important transport in terms of capital capital; Or will some of these options be used to add a star to the programming? The 2025 selection returns to Memphis in the first round after sending its selection (18th general) to Washington as part of smart trade Marcus was consumed within February.

As for the players who have acquired Memphis, Caldwell-Pope seems well positioned to searched himself in the place that was vacated by Bane. The KCP fought in Orlando this season, with an average of 8.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 robberies and 1.5 three points in 77 appearances. While solid defense, Caldwell-Pope’s average score was the lowest since its beginner’s season (2013-14). Also, its mark of 34.2 percent beyond the bow was the lowest of the KCP since 2015-16. Would finish the regular season out of the top-15 in formats of eight and nine cats. The change in landscape can be a positive for Caldwell-Pope, but it should be again a late option in standard leagues.

Anthony can also benefit from a move, as the 2024-25 season was his least productive in five years with magic. Appearing in 67 games, he promised 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 robberies and 1.1 three points in 18.4 minutes, firing 42.4 percent of the field and 82.3 percent of the foul line. Due to the absences related to the injuries of Suggs, Anthony made 22 beginnings, but it was not productive enough to become a reliable reliable in most leagues. Anthony finished the season that ranked out of the Top-200 in eight and nine cats formats, and this does not seem to change to Memphis.

In addition to having already purple, the confidence of the Grizzlies in Scotty Pippen Jr. increased during the 2024-25 season. At the end of his time in Orlando, Anthony was not a lock for minutes of rotation and it may lead to a similar situation with the Grizzlies.
