On June 16, Beijing time, a 1-for-7 trade between the Grizzlies and the Magic was officially announced, and the Grizzlies sent Bane to get Pope, Cole Anthony, 4 unprotected first-round picks and 1 first-round swap rights from the Magic. The deal has caused heated discussions among fans, especially the Mavericks fans. The Dallas Morning News reported that fans of the Mavericks and Doncic expressed their displeasure after seeing the Grizzlies get four first-round picks by sending Bane away.
In February, the Lakers and the Mavericks completed a trade for Doncic, and although the Mavericks got Bushy and Christie, they only received one first-round pick, and many people said at the time that the Mavericks received too little in return. Now seeing that Bane can exchange so many assets, Harrison, the general manager of the Mavericks, is scolded again.
"The joy of NBA trades these days is that almost every trade reminds me of Niko [Harrison] being the worst general manager in NBA history, and it's a joke that he's still doing the job," media personality Gallagher wrote. Happy Father's Day! ”
DALLAS MEDIA OUTLET MFFL NATION RETWEETED THE GRIZZLIES MAGIC'S TRADE DETAILS WITH THE CAPTION: "MAVERICKS TRADED DONCIC, BUT ONLY GOT A FIRST-ROUND PICK." ”
Media personality Kash wrote: "In terms of trade value, Bane is higher than Doncic, and you hate to see that. ”
Mavericks season ticket holder Corby Davidson lamented: "Bane is worth three more first-rounders than Doncic. ”
Mavericks fan Lynz wrote: "Heh, Desmond Bane can trade several first-round picks, and the Mavericks get Luka Doncic for a pitiful first-round pick, which makes me angry. Thank you so much, Niko! ”
Fan Hessler wrote: "The Nets traded Bridges for five first-rounders, the Grizzlies traded Bane for four first-rounders, and the Mavericks traded Doncic for one first-rounder. ”
There are many similar complaints, and I have to say that the Mavericks' deal at that time did return too little. However, some fans pointed out that it was just a return on the table, and the Mavericks used less than 2% probability to draw the champion (Flagg), which may be another kind of return, and Mavericks fans may not be so sad when they think about it.
