On June 16, the NBA's first deal was born this summer, and it was still a big deal with 1 for 7. The Grizzlies trade Bain to Magic, for Pope + Cole Anthony + four unprotected first-round picks + one first-round pick swap right.

As a second-rate star, why did Bain make such a big investment in the Magic? Because they realize that their winning window is coming!

The strongest Celtics in the East, the star of the star Tatum may miss the 2025-26 season due to a torn Achilles tendon.

At the same time, in order to avoid paying huge luxury taxes, the team's new boss will sell Holiday and Porzingis this summer, and even substitute center Connett can't keep it.

In this way, the Celtics' 2024 winning lineup disintegrated.

This means that the mountains that prevent other Eastern teams from entering the finals have fallen. How could such a good chance to win the championship be easily let go? The

Magic, with the double front combination of Ban Kairo and Wagner Jr., the team's defensive efficiency is ranked second in the league, and now it is only three-pointers, and Bain is their perfect puzzle for the championship.

In the past four years, there have been only three players who have scored more than 800 three-pointers, including Bain, and the other two are Curry and Lavine.

In addition to the Magic, many teams covet the position of the boss of the East, such as the Heat who is anxious to introduce Durant, the Knicks who are eager to dig out the current head coach of other teams, and the 76ers who want to get Markkanen through the trade of the Tanhua sign... As the saying goes, "There is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the king." Bain's deal will kick off the prelude to the battle for the boss of the East. It has always been the Western Conference, but now the Eastern Conference has also begun.
