Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant has seen a lot of roster turnover in his six NBA seasons. Watching the Grizzlies trade backcourt mate Desmond Bane may be the most surprising yet. The Grizzlies traded Bane on June 15, acquiring guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony and four unprotected first-round picks from the Orlando Magic.

Ja Morant reacts as his backcourt partnership with Desmond Bane in Memphis comes to an end after shocking trade.

Some, like ESPN’s NBA insider Brian Windhorst, see this trade as a signal that the Grizzlies’ next move could be toward a rebuilding effort. If Bane unexpectedly got traded for four future firsts, would Memphis consider putting Ja Morant or Jaren Jackson Jr. on the table?
