Boston Celtics Receive: C/F Mavin Bagley III
Sacramento Kings Receive: G/F Romeo Langford, F Grant Williams, BOS 2022 Second-Round Pick
The Boston Celtics and Sacramento Kings have both had first-round draft picks in recent years not pan out. Sometimes, a change of scenery is best for the teams and players involved, which is the driving factor behind this hypothetical trade.
Marvin Bagley III, who was selected No. 2 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft heads to Boston. It is not Bagley’s fault that the Kings selected him right ahead of Luka Doncic, but it is something he will have to hear about for the rest of his life.
Romeo Langford has had a similar situation with the Celtics. He was the 14th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft but has been unable to find his footing in the NBA. Injuries have beset him, and Boston’s depth on the wings has been difficult to overcome.
Grant Williams, who was selected later on in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft with the 22nd overall selection, has found a little more success in the league. He has carved out a role as a reserve in the frontcourt that can do a little bit of everything.
