00:00Jam Cerrani reports the Memphis Grizzlies are trading Desmond Bain to the Orlando Magic for KCP.
00:05Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap.
00:12Unbelievable, on the move, Bain to Orlando.
00:16We got some offense, coach.
00:17We got offense.
00:19What in the Mikel Bridges trade do we have going on here giving up the first-round picks?
00:25Guys, let's be honest.
00:26When you look at Orlando, they have officially put their chips to the center of the table.
00:32Why, folks?
00:32Because of the Tatum injury makes the East completely, completely wide open.
00:36Knicks may make a move.
00:38Cleveland maybe was a little bit more overrated than we thought.
00:40Maybe people still don't believe in Indiana.
00:42Milwaukee doesn't have Dame, right?
00:44We don't know with the Sixers.
00:45So it makes sense for Orlando to put their chips to the center of the table.
00:49It also makes sense with the fact that Orlando struggles tremendously, tremendously from the three-point line.
00:56So you get one of the best shooters in the world in Desmond Bain.
00:59What it also does is it takes the pressure off of an injured Jalen Suggs and let him be that disruptor defensively and that point guard they need.
01:08Not someone's got to score a ton of points.
01:10So now if you look at that lineup of Suggs, Bain, Wagner, Banqueiro, and Wendell Carter Jr., you have a—I'll be honest.
01:18You have a young, formidable starting five.
01:21Now, their bench takes a hit with someone like Kauai Anthony, but you figure with Anthony Black, with the other Wagner coming back, maybe you have other pieces there.
01:30So Orlando puts their chips to the center of the table.
01:32Now, when you talk about unprotected first-round picks, I want people to understand it.
01:36This—they're praying that this is not like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets when it was unprotected.
01:44He ended up, I think, with some combination of either Brown and or Tatum.
01:48If you're Orlando and you think you're going to be a top-10 team in the NBA for years to come, that's picks 21 through 30.
01:57You can live with that.
01:58What you hope is you don't suck, go into the lottery, and now it's unprotected picks become something else.
