In a four-team, seven-man deal, the Pistons got Bagley, the Kings got Di Vincenzo, Josh Jackson and Lyles, the Bucks got Ibaka, two Pistons second-round picks and some cash, and the Clippers got Hood and Ojele. Kings fans commented: The team finally broke up with Bagley, one and two wide, everyone was happy!
So far this season, Bagley has played in 30 games for the Kings, averaging 22 minutes per game, with just 9.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 blocks, all four of which are career lows. He shot 46.3 percent from the field, a career low, with 24.2 percent from three-point range, the second lowest in his career. Bagley wanted to leave the team, not a day or two.
In the 2020-21 season, Bagley's father wrote online: "@Kings Please trade my son as soon as possible!" Last offseason, Kings management told Bagley that he was not in the team's future plans. In the second half of the season against the Suns, former Kings coach Walton had baggy on the pitch, but Bagley refused.
Bagley's agent, Schwartz, was also very unhappy with the King's management: "The King's future plans do not have Bagley's place? The Kings did not send Bagley away in the offseason. The management let Bagley return to the team, but the result was that he was not allowed to play, which was confusing! "Fortunately, Bagley has finally left the king, and he has a chance to prove himself!"
In the 2018 draft, the Suns selected DeAndre Ayton with a draft, the Kings removed Bagley with a leaderboard pick, and Doncic became the Probing Show. Before the draft, King boss Ranadev and Doncic had dinner. But the King's general manager, Divac, was out of the question and eventually persuaded the King boss to choose Bagley.
At that time, the Kings could also understand that Doncic had played in the Europa League after all, and Bagley had killed all four sides in the NCAA. In the 2017–18 season, he averaged 20.7 points, 11.2 boards, 1.6 assists and 1 block at Duke University. Bagley had 22 double-doubles in a single season, breaking the Atlantic Coast League record!
Doncic's stats and performance needless to say, the better the game, the more the Heartache of the King boss. Looking at Bagley, he played 75 regular season games in the first two seasons of his career, starting only 10 games. In his rookie season, Bagley averaged 14.9 points and 7.6 boards per game, and his offensive stats were acceptable, but his defensive efficiency was the bottom of all the league's big forwards.
In the 2019-20 season, Bagley originally wanted to show his fists, but he did not expect injuries to come to the door. He played in just 13 games throughout the season, averaging 14.2 points and 7.5 boards per game, shooting 46.7 percent from the field, all three of which were lower than in his rookie season. Bagley's poor performance made the King boss intolerable and sacked Divac.
Of course, Bagley did not perform well and had a certain relationship with the king. This team is not good at developing young players, which players do they really want to rebuild around? No one knows! Before the trade deadline, the King sent away Halliburton, Hield and Bagley. In particular, the operation of sending away Halliburton made the whole league look stupid.
The Kings have missed the playoffs for 15 consecutive seasons, number one in NBA history, and this season they are expected to break the record they hold. Years later, as we lay in bed, the little grandson ran over and shouted, "Grandpa, Grandpa, the Kings are finally in the playoffs." ”
