I understand:

• Houston is never trading Amen (for less than Ant.)

• Magic aren't giving us back Bane.

• Nuggets don't accept this package.

• Cavs don't even do this either.

but... say you did the Goblet of Fire thing I've proposed in the past, and the winner gets Bane as icing on the cake. Then every team is interested if they think they got a real shot of winning the Gauntlet.

Celtics look like: Pritch, Bane, Amen, Jaylen, Bitadze. w/ Hauser, Hardaway Jr., Queta, Baylor

Magic look like: Anthony Black, Bane/Suggs, Franz, Paolo, Mo Wagner/Wendell w/ Anfernee, Tristan, Jabari, Isaac... that's a real deep team, that plays D.

Rockets get Garland, D White, KD, Tari, Sengun. With Bane added to that, FVV, they'd be REAL dangerous.

Nuggets... get picks & rebuild around Joker & Bane.

Cavs... get Jamal Murray, Bane, Spyda, Evan Mobley, Jarret Allen. w/ Braun, Lonzo, Strus, that's not a terrible team. could see them getting 55 wins if they get Bane.
