Philadelphia 76ers Receive: C Steven Adams, G Tyus Jones, G/F Desmond Bane, 2024 First-Round Pick (GSW via MEM), 2025 First-Round Pick (MEM), 2027 First-Round Pick (MEM), 2029 First-Round Pick (MEM) 
Memphis Grizzlies Receive: C Joel Embiid 

Some fans may have expected to see Jaren Jackson Jr. get involved here. We considered that. 

We also decided against it. Bane makes sense for both sides, even if that isn’t immediately apparent. Allow us to elaborate. 

On Philly’s end, we can assume that an Embiid trade is coming due to a trade request. If we’re assuming that, we can assume that James Harden left in free agency. With that in mind, they should be happy to rebuild around an exciting young backcourt of Bane and Tyrese Maxey. 

As for Memphis, some may think it more rational to keep a guard and move a big in exchange for a big. We think differently.

Jackson Jr. has thrived at the 4 alongside a traditional big in Steven Adams. He’s more of an elite free safety than a primary rim protector. 

With that in mind, should they even be moving Bane?
