7 for 1! The Magic is confused! The Lakers are also affected, and they are completely out of reach for the potential center.

According to the NBA China official website, the Grizzlies and Magic reached a 7-for-1 deal.

Special plan:

Grizzlies sent Bain to get the No. 16 draw in the first round of 25 years, the Suns in the first round of 26 years and the Magic 28, the 30 years and the first round of 4 unprotected first rounds, and the Magic 29 years and the first round of 20 years and Pop and Anthony Cole.

Magic sent 4 unprotected first rounds, 1 and first round swaps, Pope and Anthony Cole got Bain.

What kind of cat and dog? Starting in four first rounds at every turn? !

I think Bain is not worth so much.

Since entering the league with the 30th pick in the first round in 2020, Bain has made a total of 4,333 shots, of which 1,979 of which came from outside the three-point line. The 45.7% share shows that three points are Bain's main ending method.

Okay, then let's say three points.

On the good side, the quality of 41.0% three-pointers and the average output of 2.6 goals per game, putting aside Curry at the top and the unique Clay at the same time, it is comparable to Hilder and Halliburton and other sharp shots. But there are two disadvantages:

First, lack of independent offensive ability. The career three-pointer rate is 74.5%, which is reflected in the 414 three-pointers this season, the three-pointer rate is 42.3%, the 182 shots are held, and the three-pointer rate is 35.8%.

Second, lack of strong (top) ability. Only 60 of the 414 three-pointers came from the opponent within 4 feet of the distance, with a three-pointer rate of only 28.3%.

To sum up two points, Bain's three-pointer can only be more icing on the cake and cannot achieve timely help. To put it bluntly, I don’t have the ability to solve the problem with three-pointers like Curry and Clay.

Although three-pointers do not represent all, the problem three-pointer is Bain's main ending method. Potential, characteristics have disadvantages and shortcomings, and they also greatly affect the overall situation.

Speaking of this, magic is confused!

After all, why do you have this chip to catch up with Bain, who has a low upper limit? If you can't catch up with letters and Durant, Markanen has no big problem. You should know that the latter is also known for its three-point shooting. The key point is the space-type sharpshooting of 210.

Of course, the journey has been done. In addition, Magic spends such a huge price to trade with only one goal: to win the championship.

Speaking of this, something interesting is coming.

Average 4+4 in the 22-23 season, 5+5 in the 23-24 season, and 7+7 in the 24-25 season. Judging from the data, Bitaze has shown very good progressive attributes. In fact, this season, he averaged 12.6 points and 11.7 rebounds per game per 36 minutes.

In addition, judging from the successive 20+10 data against the Thunder, the Knicks, and the Rockets, he has certain ability to fight tough battles.

Based on the Magic's goal, I think the Lakers and Bitaze, the potential center, missed.

Reason 1: Contract. Bitaze has two years and 15 million contracts. First of all, referring to the average salary of 7+7 per game, the contract is not big. Secondly, who will match the Lakers with an annual salary of 7.5 million? To be precise, the contracts of Claybel, Vincent, Vanderbilt and Hachimura are all higher than the former, which means that the Magic must add players.

The problem is that even if you change magic alone, you won’t want to add players.

Reason 2: Importance. When Bitaze was on the court, the Magic had a net loss of 2.7 points in 100 rounds, second only to Wagner Jr.'s 6.0 points; when he was not on the court, the team had a net loss of 1.4 points in 100 rounds, second only to Wagner Jr.'s 6.1 points. It is obvious that while nominally a role player, Bitaze’s importance to the magic has caught up with the core players.

Therefore, we can understand that the contract is cost-effective and of great importance, Magic has no reason to trade Bitaze. To take a step back, even if you are willing to trade, you have to make the Lakers "give up blood". In this case, Pelinka would definitely not want to do so.

In summary, the Magic's trade greatly disrupted the Lakers' strengthening pace. I mean, originally Clarkston and Gafford don’t have much hope, so they can settle for the second best to pursue potential centers like Bitaze. Now, the latter has no hope. Potentially, the Lakers have lost another center-forward candidate.
