The Take 5 Oil Change organization is proud to announce a major move in our basketball operations. We have acquired guard-forward Desmond Bane from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for guard Cole Anthony, veteran guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and multiple future first-round draft picks. This trade marks a significant step forward in our vision for long-term success and competitiveness on and off the court.
Desmond Bane brings a rare combination of scoring efficiency, defensive toughness, and leadership. Known for his elite three-point shooting and relentless work ethic, Bane has established himself as one of the most promising two-way players in the league. At just 26 years old, he fits perfectly into our core of rising talent, while also bringing playoff experience and a high basketball IQ.
While we are grateful for the contributions of Cole Anthony and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope—both consummate professionals who gave their all—we believe this trade positions our team to reach new heights. The decision to part with multiple future draft picks was not taken lightly, but reflects our confidence in Bane’s ability to be a cornerstone of our future.
We look forward to welcoming Desmond to the Take 5 family and can’t wait to see what’s next.
