Magic Send Two-Word Message to NBA Champion After Trade With Grizzlies originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The NBA Finals might still be happening, but the offseason is starting to kick into gear with the first blockbuster of the summer.

The Orlando Magic are putting together an aggressive trade package in an effort to acquire a significant win-now player this offseason.

Bane joins a young core with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs in pursuit of making a climb in the Eastern Conference.

Sunday's unexpected trade involving Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane heading to the Orlando Magic could have an impact on the Phoenix Suns' potential return in a swap for Kevin Durant.

According to Kevin O'Connor, the Magic should be considered to be Durant's next team. Orlando, led by the forward tandem of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, secured a 41-41 record. They made the playoffs but fell short against the Boston Celtics and were eventually eliminated in the first round.

Sunday's shocking deal has ramifications far beyond Orlando and Memphis -- including the Kevin Durant trade saga.
