   Orlando is sending to Memphis the No. 16 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Phoenix's first-round pick in 2026, Magic 2028 unprotected first-rounder and Orlando's 2030 unprotected first, sources said. Pick swap is lightly protected in 2029. https://t.co/DeWziUWLkv

   LAKERS SHOULD GO AFTER JAREN JACKSON JR.

   If Memphis is looking to rebuild, Lakers should pursue Jaren Jackson Jr, who would be the perfect modern center for the Lakers to trade for to replace Anthony Davis. May be hard to trade with Grizzlies after the huge return they got for… https://t.co/rSUaZMbbPi pic.twitter.com/B3ZvLyKddd

     Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman: “Disappointing season. A lot to sort through here. 48 wins. Good for an 8 seed, but who cares. It’s not good enough.”

     Now, he traded Desmond Bane to the Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, 4 unprotected firsts and 1 first swap, per ESPN. pic.twitter.com/aoyEAIf3I2

   This is what “going all in” looks like. ORL thinks they can make some noise in the east next season.

     I think it’s smart for Memphis. Bane is pricey, KCP is solid and they have a decent backup to plug in alongside Scottie Jr. if Ja goes down. Plus they got a boatload of draft picks. They’d sent out a few over the last 2 seasons.

   🔮 I expected more of an all-in move from the Grizzlies but still major shake-up with the trade of Bane. Now does anything else come next? 👀 https://t.co/EmbxOhtGA0 pic.twitter.com/gh7cwM3afD
