Desmond Bane’s $207M Contract: Unraveling Grizzlies’ Decision to Sign SG for 5 Years

In this offseason, the Memphis Grizzlies made a significant move by signing Desmond Bane to a five-year, $207 million extension. This contract holds the record as the largest in the history of the franchise. Through this extension, the Grizzlies have secured their commitment to a core trio of Bane, Ja Morant, and Jaren Jackson Jr.

Bane’s deal surpasses Morant’s five-year, $197,230,450 contract, as well as Jackson’s four-year, $104,720,000 deal with the Grizzlies in terms of value. Although Bane may not possess as much star power as Morant and Jackson, his consistent performance is vital to the success of the Grizzlies.

With a solid foundation in place, fans will be eager to see how the Memphis Grizzlies fare during the upcoming season. The investments made in Bane, Morant, and Jackson demonstrate the franchise’s commitment to building a strong and competitive team.
