Grade Re-signed G Desmond Bane to a rookie scale extension. Acquired G Josh Christopher from Houston.
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Memphis sold high on Bane, a move that looks increasingly questionable as he thrives in Orlando. Multiple headlines suggest the Grizzlies regret the trade, with media coverage decidedly negative on their side. The Magic's lottery luck undermines Memphis's rebuilding calculus from last summer's deal. Fans widely view this as the Grizzlies giving away a proven scorer too cheaply for uncertain assets. Memphis must prove Josh Christopher and draft capital can replace Bane's reliable scoring production.
