Is it really a loss to trade with Magic 7 for 1? Bain’s perfect match of Magic is a win-win situation now

On June 16, 2025, a sudden deal broke out in the NBA! According to famous reporter Shams, the Magic obtained the Grizzlies' Bain with Pope + Cole Anthony + four unprotected first-round picks + one first-round pick. Shams then added that the four draft picks include this year's first round 16 picks + the Suns' first round in 2026 + the Magic's own first round in 2028 and 2030, and the first round swap rights in 2029 (top two picks protection).

This deal is very important to the Magic. What the Magic have always lacked the most is offensive firepower. Bain's three-point shooting ability from the outside is urgently needed by the team. Moreover, the core lineup of Wagner Jr., Bankairo and Sargos has been confirmed, and there is no time to train young people when they choose. What the team needs is excellent combat effectiveness. There is one data that can prove Bain's ability, that is, since 2020, only three players in the NBA have made 800 three-pointers and have a 40% three-point shooting percentage. Bain is one of them, and the other two players are Curry and Lavin. In addition to his three-point shooting ability, Bain also has excellent defensive ability, which is enough to prove that he is very suitable for the current Magic's lineup.

For the Grizzlies, it is indeed difficult to make a breakthrough in the current lineup. It is indeed a very worthwhile deal to trade Bain and get four first-round picks. So from the moment, this deal is still a win-win situation.
