Could Kings’ Bagley, Bjelica make more sense for Celtics targets than Barnes?

Boston might do well to ask about some less popular options on the Kings’ roster.

A whole lot of ink is being spilled on whether the Boston Celtics are interested in (or should be) trading for Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes, but it might be worth pivoting to deal for another pair of Kings players who ought to be available to trade.

While we believe in the fit for Barnes moving forward with the Celtics — and appreciate his contract ending just as Boston might want to consider a significant roster shake up — the potential impact of Barnes’ current income could create some serious tax issues barring some artful maneuvering with the rest of the roster.

A pivot to veteran big man Nemanja Bjelica and former No. 2 overall draft pick Marvin Bagley III could be an enticing alternate path with the same team — let’s take a look at how.
