Before Durant was sent away, Bain was sent away first. Why is the Grizzlies so ruthless?

Before Durant was sent away, Bain was sent away! What exactly happened?

According to US media reports, the Grizzlies traded Bain to Magic, exchanged for Pope, Anthony and four unprotected first-round picks, and one first-round pick swap right!

The Magic will give the draft picks to the Grizzlies, including the 16th pick in the first round of 2025, the Phoenix Suns' first round pick in 2026, the Magic's own 2028 and 2030 unprotected first round picks, and the 2029 first round pick swaps will be slightly protected.

So why did the Grizzlies send off their second boss Bain? You know, Bain is still very good at fighting! He is muscular and has a very fierce style of playing. He is an excellent second-in-command. There are several reasons why the Grizzlies sent him away.

The first reason is that Bain's strength is not very good. Although Bain averaged 19 points per game in the regular season, he showed his true colors in the playoffs!

In the first round of the playoffs between the Grizzlies and the Thunder, Bain's performance was very dismal! When Morant was injured and unable to play, Bain also failed to stand up to save the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies saw Bain's essence of being strong outside and doing it in the middle, and knew that he was not a tough guy who could fight tough battles, so they decisively traded him in the offseason. And it is said that the Grizzlies did not notify Bain in advance, but suddenly sent him away, which surprised Bain very much.

The second reason is that Bain does not know how to unite his teammates. In the regular season last season, Bain once fought against his teammate Aldama on the bench!

This scene is seen by many people, especially when the camera captures this lens. This is a very bad thing for the Grizzlies and is not conducive to unity.

As the second in command, Bain did not know how to unite his teammates, so he could not lead the Grizzlies to create better results, so the Grizzlies would decisively send him away.

The third reason is that the Grizzlies are preparing to rebuild. The Grizzlies were swept out by the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs, which made the Grizzlies feel that it is impossible for their current lineup to win the championship!

Especially the boss Morant is always injured and will do something extraordinary, and it is impossible to lead the Grizzlies to the championship. So the Grizzlies decided to rebuild, and Bain was just the first person to be sent away. The next one is probably Morant. Is this the truth?
