The Pistons already seemed to be the team most interested in Marvin Bagley III last season. Finally, the discussions between Sacramento and Detroit had not succeeded, the Michigan franchise not wishing to let go of Saddiq Bey in exchange for the 2nd choice of the 2018 Draft.
Nevertheless, Marc Stein as well as The Athletic assure that the Pistons keep an eye on the situation of the strong winger, who is no longer in the rotation of Luke Walton and would have even refused to come into play recently.
The player’s agent had also pushed a rant a few weeks ago, on the management of his case by the franchise. At 22, and even though he has experienced physical issues and his defensive limitations are known, Marvin Bagley III wants a chance to show he can make an impact in the NBA.
It will no doubt be a far cry from the Kings, except Sacramento has so far found the offers too low to part ways with their player. The Athletic thus simply evokes the second rounds of Draft, which is obviously very little for a recent 2nd choice of Draft. Except that the longer the situation lasts, the more Marvin Bagley III vegetates on the bench, and the more his value also decreases. And the Pistons could therefore recover it for a pittance …
