The NBA Trade Deadline is just a few days away and the rumor mill is churning.\u00a0 The Kings have been mentioned a ton but we’ve yet to see anything really concrete.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the first real idea of what the Kings may be pursuing comes in a new report from Yahoo’s Chris Haynes<\/a>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Sacramento Kings<\/a>\u00a0have made the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NBA draft available for a trade, with the Kings recently being turned down by the\u00a0Detroit Pistons<\/a>, having offered Bagley III for promising rookie Saddiq Bey, league sources told Yahoo Sports.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bey was the 19th pick in this year’s draft and has had a promising start to his NBA career, averaging 10.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists.\u00a0 He’s also an older rookie, only about two weeks younger than Marvin Bagley III, who is in his third season.\u00a0 Still, given that Detroit would have to make a decision on Bagley in a year, in comparison to having Bey under team control for three more years (at frankly a more valuable position), it makes sense why that offer would be rejected.<\/p>\n
