The Memphis Grizzlies are in position to have more flexibility for a Jaren Jackson Jr. extension after the Desmond Bane trade.

The Orlando Magic stood out from the crowd to secure a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies for guard Desmond Bane, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps.

The Celtics selected Bane with the 30th overall pick in the 2020 draft and traded him on draft night for a pair of future second-round picks. Five years later, Bane has established himself as a consistent and efficient scorer, the kind of piece that a playoff team would pay a premium price for as a second or third option.
