Topics
Chris Vernon: 我认为 Desmond Bane 的交易被低估了。如果其他球队进行这样的交易，大家都会觉得很棒。考虑到 Bane 的合同金额和剩余年限，灰熊队获得的选秀权和交易灵活性是非常有价值的。虽然 Orlando 得到了 Bane 这样的球员，但灰熊队可以通过这些资产来围绕 Ja Morant 和 Jaren Jackson Jr. 打造更好的阵容。我对于 Memphis 的未来充满信心，认为他们会通过交易和选秀来提升球队实力。 Joe House: 我认为这笔交易对 Orlando 来说很棒，Bane 非常适合他们的体系。Bane 的交易价值之所以上升，是因为他在 Orlando 的环境下能发挥更大的作用。至于 Memphis，这笔交易让他们有更大的灵活性来构建阵容，并长期锁定 Jaren Jackson Jr.。Jalen Wells 的崛起也会因为 Bane 的离开而受益。 Bill Simmons: 我认为灰熊队的未来存在不确定性。Ja Morant 的出场次数有限，Jaren Jackson Jr. 的篮板能力不足，这都限制了球队的上限。虽然灰熊队过去几年表现不错，但我不确定他们是否能通过现有的核心阵容赢得总冠军。我对于 Memphis 的未来持谨慎态度，认为他们需要做出更大的改变才能提升竞争力。
