Detroit Pistons trade for Kings' Marvin Bagley III in multi-team deal
Trader Troy has struck again.
Detroit Pistons second-year general manager Troy Weaver made a trade Thursday, acquiring Marvin Bagley III from the Sacramento Kings ahead of the 3 p.m. NBA trade deadline.
The deal is part of a seven-player, four-team trade, with the Pistons sending out Josh Jackson and Trey Lyles to the Kings, along with multiple second-round picks to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Free Press has confirmed. The Pistons are trading the lower pick between Golden State and Cleveland's second-rounder in 2023, and Sacramento's second-rounder in 2024.
Milwaukee and Los Angeles Clippers are also involved in the trade, with Donte DiVincenzo going to the Kings and Serge Ibaka going to the Bucks.
The full trade, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski:

Pistons: Marvin Bagley Jr.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 10, 2022
Bagley was the No. 2 overall pick out of Duke in a stacked 2018 NBA draft, ahead of Luka Doncic (No. 3), Jaren Jackson Jr. (No. 4) and Trae Young (No. 5).
Bagley, who turns 23 in March, will be a restricted free agent after this season.
A 6-foot-11 power forward who can also play some center, Bagley, in his fourth season, has been a huge disappointment in Sacramento and has been in and out of the rotation and oft-injured. He is averaging a career low 9.3 points in a career low 21.9 minutes per game this season over 30 appearances (17 starts).

The Pistons do not control any of their own second-round picks until 2028, and now have four from other teams through 2027: Brooklyn's in 2022, more favorable of Washington or Memphis in 2024, more favorable from Golden State or Washington in 2025, Brooklyn's in 2027. The Pistons also cannot trade a first-round pick until the draft in June.
It's the 12th trade the Pistons have completed under Weaver since he took over in June, 2020 and the first since September, when he dealt Sekou Doumbouya and Jahlil Okafor to Brooklyn for four second-round picks, cash and DeAndre Jordan.
More to come.
