Bulls rumors: Who to target in a Coby White trade-Marvin Bagley
Maybe the most intriguing potential trade target that the Bulls could keep in mind this season if they decide to shop White is the former Duke Blue Devils star and Sacramento Kings big man Marvin Bagley. Most of the current young core that the Kings have assembled probably won’t be around in Sactown for much longer.
Bagley might also be the part of the Kings’ young core that is traded the fastest this season. Inconsistencies on the court and the injury bug bit Bagley hard since his run in Sacramento started four seasons ago. Bagley has only played in more than half of the games in any one regular season run with the Kings on a single occasion in four tries.
If there is any young and talented player that still has a lot of untapped potential in the Western Conference that needs a change of scenery, and fast, it’s Bagley. While he didn’t have much of a chance to succeed with the Kings in the last few seasons, it doesn’t matter much at this point. He needs to get out of Sactown.
At this point, it doesn’t look like Bagley will become a regular part of the Kings starting unit anytime soon. The Bulls might be able to hypothetically get a trade deal done here that also nets them additional assets with Bagley. This could be a really nice value move for the Bulls if it is something that the front office could get done ahead of the trade deadline.
