Kings trade Bagley to Pistons, acquire DiVincenzo, two others

Share

The Marvin Bagley era in Sacramento has ended.

On Thursday, hours before the NBA trade deadline, the Kings dealt the former No. 2 overall pick to the Detroit Pistons.

Bagley going to Detroit is part of a four-team deal that includes the Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks. The Kings acquired Donte DiVincenzo from the Bucks and Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson from the Pistons.

“We are pleased to bring Donte, Josh and Trey here to Sacramento,” Kings GM Monte McNair said when the deal was made official. “Adding shooting, defense and versatility to our team are very valuable as we continue to build. We would also like to thank Marvin Bagley III and wish him all the best in the future.”

The Clippers are sending Serge Ibaka to the Bucks while Milwaukee will ship Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye to Los Angeles. The Bucks also will get two second-round picks from the Pistons, according to Wojnarowski.

The Athletic's Shams Charania and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported details of the trade Thursday morning.

This is the second big move the Kings have made as they look to reshape their roster and make a push for the play-in tournament. 

On Tuesday, Sacramento traded Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, and Tristan Thompson to the Indiana Pacers for Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday and Jeremy Lamb.

Dealing Bagley was an expected move. The Duke product's time with the Kings was hampered by injuries and inconsistent play, and he never was able to get out of the shadow of the Kings' decision to draft him over Luka Doncic.

In DiVincenzo, the Kings are getting a 25-year-old guard who can create his own shot and is good in transition. DiVeicenzo has struggled shooting the ball this season, converting just 33.1 percent of his shots from the field and only 28.4 percent from 3-point range. Those numbers are below his career averages of 42.4 and 34.3 percent.

Like Bagley, a chance of scenery could do DiVincenzo good and he gives Sacramento a solid guard off the bench.
