If you see a Miami Heat fan that hasn't been able to contain their joy ever since Sunday, do you think you can really blame them for feeling that way? After their in-state rival [Orlando Magic gave up a hefty haul](https://allucanheat.com/heat-kevin-durant-dream-bigger-magic-desperate-move-desmond-bane) and sent four first-round picks along with a pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies for Desmond Bane, the ramifications of the Magic giving up that much for a player who's never been an All-Star are clear to see.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like the worst move you could make. After all, Bane's archetype does fit a lot of what Orlando's roster currently needs. The Magic were in desperate need of more consistent offensive performers, especially after their stars ended up missing significant time.
In particular, they needed three-point shooters. Orlando ranked dead last in the association last season in the categories of total three-point makes as a team, as well as three-point percentage. Bane is a 41% three-point shooter for his career, and is a solid secondary offensive creator and defender. It's fair to say that he checked a lot of boxes for this Magic team.
4 first-round picks is a lot for a non-All Star
-----------------------------------------------
But again, the problem here has to do with the overall package they gave up for him. Two rotation players in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Cole Anthony, along with four first-rounders as well as a first round pick is the kind of return that [should net you at least an All-Star](https://allucanheat.com/heat-must-take-advantage-lifeline-offered-kevin-durant-ultimatum) caliber guy.
This is why Heat fans are likely getting a kick out of this situation. Miami may be looked at by NBA fans as the kind of franchise that overpays for star players, but it's far from the truth in reality. Even when they made a massive four-team trade to ultimately land Jimmy Butler in 2019, they only had to give up one future first-round pick.
Now, the Heat are watching from the sidelines as the Magic give up the kind of draft haul normally reserved for franchise-changing players. You can say the price has simply gone up for high-level rotation players, but this still feels like a big overpay.
Miami may not have a superstar on their roster at the moment, but they at least still have flexibility, their own future draft picks, and a front office with a proven track record. Orlando has some momentum, but they also now have a lot less room for error moving forward.
