The Memphis Grizzlies did something strange when they traded Desmond Bane on Sunday. Obviously, the deal itself was unusual. Rarely do teams ostensibly planning to contend trade away 27-year-old core players.

The Grizzlies said goodbye to Desmond Bane after five impactful seasons — and their first major offseason move signals a new era taking shape in Memphis.

The Grizzlies will receive Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, a first-round pick swap and four unprotected first-round picks. The picks are for 2025, 2026, 2028 and 2030. A first-round pick swap in 2029 is also top-two protected.
