On Sunday, the Orlando Magic dropped the offseason’s first blockbuster by acquiring sharpshooter Desmond Bane from the Memphis Grizzlies. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the package involved a stunning haul of four unprotected first-round picks, a pick swap, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Cole Anthony—a move that rocked the basketball world.

The Washington Wizards' Michael Winger- and Will Dawkins-led front office has traded up the board in each of its first two drafts on the job. It would be foolish to rule out another upward climb this year.

Following a disappointing end in the postseason, the Magic agreed to send veteran guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony and four unprotected first-round picks (the 2025 No. 16 overall pick plus selections in 2026 via Phoenix Suns, 2028 and 2030) along with a 2029 first-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Desmond Bane.

Having already won a ring with the San Antonio Spurs in 2003, Stephen wanted a real shot at another title. Naturally, he looked to join a contender. Reports linked him to the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, and all three Texas teams — the Spurs, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks.

Jrue Holiday has been speculated to be a trade candidate this offseason as the Celtics might seek to shed salary.

Veteran center Clint Capela is expected to land with a new team in free agency after spending the past five years with the Atlanta Hawks, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.
