Marvin Bagley was the player who was picked off with the Second Overall Pick by the Kings in 2018, but his time for the Kings is coming to an end. In fact, there have been many rumors of trades involving Marvin Bagley in this offseason, not to mention that the Kings have refused to extend Bagley's contract in advance.
So now the question is which team can the Kings push for a deal involving Marvin Bagley? The advice given by the US media Brett Siegel is that the King can promote a deal involving Marvin Bagley with the Rockets:
Rockets get: Marvin Bagley
Kings Get: DJ Augustine, Danuel House Jr., 2023 first-round picks (from bucks)
If the Rockets want to push for a deal involving Marvin Bagley, they need to transfer close to $11 million in salary, after all, this season the Rockets are a team under the luxury tax. Considering that the team is in the reconstruction stage, it is believed that the management will not want to pay the luxury tax.
In terms of potential chips, the Rockets can send two players, Eric Gordon and David Nuwaba, but in comparison, sending Augustine and House is also a good choice, because the combined salaries of the two veterans are close to $11 million. Augustine, already a veteran in the 14th season of his career, can still provide the Kings with backcourt depth and stability.
As for House, he's also the one who can help the Kings on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, after all, he's a career shooter with a 36.3 percent three-point shooting percentage.
For the Rockets, getting Marvin Bagley is still a good fit for the team's team-building move, especially if Bagley can cash in on his talent in the Rockets, which will undoubtedly be a low-risk, high-reward move.
