Charlotte Hornets Receive: F/C Marvin Bagley III
Sacramento Kings Receive: C Mason Plumlee, 2023 second-round pick (via BOS), 2024 second-round pick (via BOS)
Marvin Bagley III has been the forward mentioned in NBA trade rumors over the last few weeks. He was taken second-overall by the Kings in 2018, before players like Luka Doncic and Trae Young.
At this point, Bagley has been viewed as a bust but could benefit from a change of scenery in a different scheme. This could be the Hornets.
Bagley would have a chance to get some important minutes in Charlotte with the lack of depth in the frontcourt. The Hornets would view this as a buy-low opportunity for an intriguing prospect who could perhaps achieve greater results after a change of scenery.
The Hornets would send Mason Plumlee to Sacramento, along with second-round draft capital in the future. This is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Hornets.
