More on this storyline

One source said the Kings are still shopping a package including Buddy Hield and Marvin Bagley III in hopes of getting a good player in return. Sources told The Bee over the summer the Kings had expressed interest in the Philadelphia 76ers’ Ben Simmons and Toronto Raptors’ Pascal Siakam. -via Sacramento Bee / December 13, 2021

Sean Cunningham: Luke Walton is going with rebounders, which means Marvin Bagley will again be in the lineup. Sounds like he’ll be in the rotation for the foreseeable future for the Kings as they go bigger. -via Twitter @SeanCunningham / November 17, 2021

James Ham on Marvin Bagley: I think they look at him as an $11.8 million, expiring contract. That’s because that’s the feeling I get from people within the organization… they will not trade him, because there could be a bigger deal that they need his salary to throw in on. And so they’re not going to take some some crummy deal that might give them a little bit more talent now, when it costs them the ability to go do something much bigger down the road. -via Kings Beat / November 16, 2021
