Boston Celtics: 3 Marvin Bagley-Cs trade packages

Why the Boston Celtics do it

Just so we are clear, things seem extremely tenuous for Marvin Bagley and the Kings right now. Look at this Sac-Town drama in all of its incompetent franchise glory:

Marvin Bagley III’s father publicly asked the Kings to trade his son.

De’Aaron Fox‘s dad seems ready for Sacramento to oblige.

Either way, the Fox-Bagley relationship may be beyond repair:

"Neither Marvin Bagley III nor De’Aaron Fox has said anything publicly about this. Bagley shot down potential questions about his dad’s tweet. But this must be at least somewhat awkward between the teammates. I just don’t see how that’s avoidable. Players’ parents have called for roster moves before. Sometimes, that’s known within a team. This differs because the saga has played out so publicly. Fox is the Kings’ franchise player. Does Aaron Fox want Bagley gone just because Bagley isn’t fully on board with the Fox-centric program? Or does Aaron Fox have more-specific issues with Bagley? Does De’Aaron Fox share his father’s sentiment? How does Bagley feel about all this? The players could reduce tension by speaking to some of these questions. Maybe they already have privately. But their dads turned this into a public spectacle, which means outside observers want answers, too."

Bagley is a strange personality but a true baller on the court. Danny Ainge would be so lucky to land him.

Why the Sacramento Kings do it

Robert Williams is a borderline breakout candidate, while Grant Williams can help the team win with his off-the-stat sheet contributions. Add a second-round pick, and this deal offers intriguing young packages for those that need them.
