Grizzlies trade Desmond Bane to Magic for 2 players, 4 first-round picks: Report
Grizzlies trade Desmond Bane to Magic for 2 players, 4 first-round picks: Report originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia The NBA Finals is still ongoing, but the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic are already looking forward to next season. Advertisement Memphis and Orlando executed the first blockbuster trade of the 2025 NBA offseason on Sunday, with Desmond Bane reportedly heading to the Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick swap. Orlando is sending to Memphis the No. 16 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Phoenix's first-round pick in 2026, plus its own unprotected first-round picks in 2028 and 2030. The pick swap is lightly protected in 2029. ESPN's Shams Charania first reported the news on Sunday morning. Bane, who turns 27 later this month, will join an Orlando team that lost in the first round to the Boston Celtics, with a noticeable lack of offense holding the young roster back. He averaged 19.2 points per game for Memphis last season, shooting 41% from 3-point range over his five-year career. The Magic ranked last in 3-point percentage as a team in 2024-25 (31.8%). Advertisement While Memphis is giving up the best player in this trade, the haul of four unprotected first-round picks is a ransom. Caldwell-Pope and Anthony have been consistent veteran guards throughout their careers, too. KCP won championships with the Los Angeles Lakers (2020) and Denver Nuggets (2023), while Anthony has been with Orlando since being drafted in 2020. The Magic will use Bane to form a strong trio with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, especially in an Eastern Conference that will be up for grabs next season. Bane has four years and $163.2 million left on the max extension he signed with Memphis in 2023.

Saints Countdown To Kickoff With The History Of Number 87
Saints Countdown To Kickoff With The History Of Number 87 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New Orleans Saints have 87 days until they open their 2025-26 regular season against the Arizona Cardinals. It will be the 59th NFL season for New Orleans, as they look to improve on last year's 5-12 record under new head coach Kellen Moore. Advertisement There have been 17 players to wear the number 87 for the Saints during a regular season game. The latest of which is tight end Foster Moreau, entering his third year with the team. Here's a historical look back at all Saints who have worn this number. Saints History of 87 Former New Orleans Saints great Joe Horn during his famous ''cellphone'' touchdown celebration in 2003.

Credit: Stickles was the first Saint to sport 87, catching 15 passes for 206 yards and 2 scores during the Saints second year of existence. Neal was the first player to wear 87 for multiple seasons, recording 20 unofficial sacks over a three-year stretch from 1970 to 1972. The first offensive player to wear 87 for more than one year was Herrmann. He'd have 69 catches for 990 yards but just one score in his three years as a Saint. Most of the other tight ends or wideouts that had 87 over the years would make similar contributions, at best, in short stints with New Orleans. Advertisement Lonzell Hill came on as a second-round pick in the 1987 NFL Draft out of Washington. Hill was an underrated part of the New Orleans offense for four years, catching 138 passes for 1,711 yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging 9 yards as a punt returner. Oct. 30, 2005; New Orleans Saints receiver Joe Horn (87) pulls in a pass against the Miami Dolphins Travares Tillman (26). Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-Imagn Images © 2005 John David Mercer Joe Horn is one of the greatest free-agent acquisitions in New Orleans history. Horn transformed the Saints offense into an explosive unit. Over a seven-year career in New Orleans, he had 523 receptions for 7,622 yards and 50 touchdowns. Horn had four 1,000-yard seasons with the Saints, including a then-team record three straight years. He holds top-5 spots in franchise history for catches, receiving yards, and receiving scores. In 2010, Horn was inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame. Advertisement Arrington was a training camp favorite by fans for five years, but managed only 9 career receptions for 110 yards. Lewis faced similar adulation, producing similar results, and was actually with New Orleans for parts of four seasons, wearing No. 87 as a rookie in 2016. As a rookie, Lewis caught 7 passes for 76 yards and averaged 11.4 as the team's punt returner. Dec 6, 2020; New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (87) catches a pass against Atlanta Falcons linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (54). Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images Jared Cook will always be remembered, and hated by fans, for a costly fumble during the Saints 2021 Divisional Playoff loss to Tampa Bay in what would be the final game for the legendary Drew Brees. Cook actually had a productive two-year run with the Saints, however, averaging 40 catches and 605 yards while scoring 16 touchdowns over that span. Cook's 705 yards in 2019 were second on the team to Michael Thomas, while his 9 scores tied for the team lead. Advertisement Foster Moreau has never been one to fill up a stat sheet. In his two years with the Saints, he has 53 receptions for 606 yards and 6 touchdowns. However, Moreau is one of the league's best blockers at his position, with his underrated short-area receiving skills also a valuable component to the offense.

Saints Countdown To NFL Kickoff With The History Of Number 86
Saints Countdown To NFL Kickoff With The History Of Number 86 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. We sit 86 days away from the 2025 regular season opener for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints will take on the Arizona Cardinals to kick off their 59th NFL season, first under new head coach Kellen Moore. Advertisement Tight end Michael Jacobson is currently wearing number 86 for the Saints. He's spent two years on the team's practice squad but has yet to see any regular season action. A former college basketball star, Jacobson faces a stiff battle for a roster spot this offseason. Here's a look at all players who have worn 86 for the Saints during a regular season game.

Mandatory Credit: Manny Rubio-Imagn Images There have been 36 players to wear number 86 for the Saints. Of that list, 23 of them wore it for one season or less and only two wore it for more than two seasons. The first to sport the number was Tom Hall, who caught passes for yards 19 passes for 249 yards during the first Saints season in 1967. Jubilee Dunbar was the first No. 86 to score a touchdown for New Orleans, pulling in 23 receptions for 447 yards and 4 touchdowns in 1973. It wasn't until 1976 and seven different players had worn 86 until someone did it for more than one year. In two seasons as a Saint, Jim Thaxton had 21 catches for 323 yards and two scores. New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jake Reed catches a pass during a 2002 game against the Detroit Lions. Credit: SB Nation After 11 players donned 86, the Saints finally had a player to do it for more than two years when Jeff Groth did it in the early 1980s. Groth actually played for the Saints from 1981 to 1985, switching from No. 48 in his first year to 86 for the final four. Advertisement While in 86, Groth caught 127 passes for 1,693 yards and scored four times. With his four years and 53 games for the Saints in No. 86, Groth remains the longest-tenured and most productive Saint to wear that jersey. Jones was a quietly productive member of the New Orleans offense for two seasons. He led the 1986 squad with 48 catches and had 75 receptions for 1,045 yards and 6 scores in 28 games wearing No. 86. Pat Newman is the only Saints player other than Groth to wear 86 for more than two seasons. Newman played in 33 games, also second to Groth, but had just 14 receptions for 175 yards and one score. New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mike Jones (86) catches a touchdown pass in a 1987 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Credit: Through the 1980s and 1990s, the Saints had a habit of bringing in players who were well past their prime. Three wideouts that wore 86 for New Orleans perfectly embodied this problem in Louis Lipps, Sean Dawkins, and Jake Reed. Advertisement Unlike Lipps, Dawkins was fairly productive in his one-year stint for New Orleans. He led the 1998 Saints with 823 receiving yards, catching 55 balls to finish second on the team. Dawkins' yardage output would be the second highest of his nine-year career in the NFL. After starring with the Minnesota Vikings for the first 10 years of his career, Reed played two of his last three seasons in New Orleans. He appeared in 21 regular season games, the fourth most by a Saints player wearing 86. In three years with the Saints, Reed had 37 receptions for 566 yards and 3 touchdowns. His last NFL season was with the Saints in 2003. Since Reed, nine different players have worn number 86 in a regular season game for the Saints. Only John Owens (13 games) and John Phillips (9 games), and Buck Ortega (12 games) have worn the jersey for more than one year.
