Desmond Bane Makes Confident 8-Word Assertion With Orlando Magic Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

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.

The Memphis Grizzlies' decision to trade Desmond Bane may have paved the way for Jaylen Wells to take on a larger role as part of the team's starting lineup moving forward.
