Full trade:
Kings: Donte DiVincenzo, Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson.
Bucks: Serge Ibaka, two future second-round picks, cash.
Clippers: Rodney Hood, Semi Ojele.
Pistons: Marvin Bagley Jr.


Overall looks like the Pistons gave up Lyles, Josh Jackson, and maybe one or two 2nds.

Former 2nd overall pick who hasn?t lived up to expectations. Probably got worse this season since Lyles has been playing well, but they aren?t winning anything this year anyway. Low cost gamble IMO, I?m OK with this.

He's a power forward who has been upset all year because he isn't starting anymore. I don't think he's gonna start for the Pistons either.

Maybe an insurance policy in case they get a really good offer for Grant at the deadline or in the off season?

Not a bad move, didn't give up any major assets. He's 22 years old, former #2 pick that needs a change of scenery and has an expiring contract. There's no real downside to this move.

Before the year averaged 14+ PPG and 7+ RPG. That's not bad numbers. Stay healthy and maybe he can be a value next season.

I wonder if they would start:

PG Cunningham 6'6"
SG Grant 6'8"
C Stewart 6'8"
SF Bey 6'7"
PF Bagley 6'11"

Still no shooting on this team. Maybe that lineup would help on the defensive end and in terms of rebounding?

i think you were right that this is more of a prep move so they can move Grant.

Ages 20, 20, 22, 22 and old man Grant at 27

Killian also 20. There might be college teams older than this teams core lol

When you look at all the players who got traded here I think Bagley is the best of the bunch. The rest are junk.

Yeah nothing really here. Just the Pistons trying to hit on another guy like Grant in a trade.
