The Desmond Bane trade signaled at least a change in direction. It's hard to believe the Grizzlies stay put for much longer.
Desmond Bane definitely wasn't the problem in Memphis. So trading him, as the Grizzlies did this offseason, isn't going to "solve" anything in 2025-26 or beyond. Yes, the package of picks the Griz got in return for the sharpshooter was abundant and sets them up with assets in the future. That's great.
