OKC Thunder Receive: Marvin Bagley III
Sacramento Kings Receive: Darius Bazley, Mike Muscala, Justin Jackson, 2021 1st Round Pick (Top 5 Protected), 2022 1st Round Pick (via PHX)
The Sacramento Kings could get a huge haul for their talented center Marvin Bagley III and they would be crazy to not accept a trade like this. Sure, Bagley III is talented, but he clearly wants out of Sacramento and they could get a huge haul for him.
The Thunder really aren’t far from contending themselves either, which is surprising to say when you look at their record this year. The Thunder have some good talent to build around and adding a franchise center like Bagley III to the lineup would surely help them out.
