Magic Fans have coined a catch phrase that floods comments, replies, group chats, DMs, and tweets any time Desmond Bane pops off for one of his semi-regular big scoring nights:

FTP

"FTP" colloquially translates to "who needs those first round picks from that trade last summer that anyone hardly even remembers, we'd rather have Desmond Bane!"

I asked Desmond Bane if he's aware of Magic Fans creating and carrying the “FTP” torch for him.

Yeah, I have seen it.

It is a comforting feeling.

A lot of times when you make a trade of that magnitude, the fans can feel either type of way.

Ever since I got here I have felt the love and support from the Magic Fans.

Super thankful that they ride for me.

“Yeah, I’ve seen it.

It’s a comforting feeling… a trade of that magnitude, the fans can feel either type of way.

Ever since I got here I’ve felt the love and support from the Magic Fans.
