On February 14, Beijing time, Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver talked about the team's new signing Marvin Bagley in an interview with the media today, saying: Bagley's qualification offer should be between 7 million and 16 million US dollars, which depends on the level he can reach.
Bagley was traded to the Pistons as a bargaining chip by the Kings in a previous trade, with Bucks guard Di Vincenzo and the Pistons' two forwards Jackson and Lyles.
As the eye-catching pick for the 2018 NBA Draft, the original Bagley had high hopes. In his first season, he got plenty of opportunities at the Kings. Averaging 25.3 minutes of playing time per game, he can get 14.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists. He shot 50.4 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from three-point range.
In today's leagues, spatial interiors like Bagley are very popular. However, just when people thought that Bagley could lead the king out of the quagmire and return to glory, he was plagued by injuries many times.
Not only was attendance too low for two consecutive seasons, but the performance on the field was not rising but falling. He played 30 games for the team this season before being traded by the Kings. Averaging only 9.3 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, shooting 46.3 percent from the field and shooting only 24.2 percent from three-point range, he wasn't even as good as his rookie season.
Eventually the Kings also lost patience in nurturing him and sent him out this season. Bagley is talented, and as a sporty space-type interior, he was supposed to be one of the cornerstones of the team. But helplessly, his glass physique allowed himself to miss the best stage of the ball.
