Boston needs big depth, Detroit could use a vet guard; Are these East teams natural trade partners?

With interests potentially aligning, this might be a scenario both ball clubs could benefit from.

The NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) already has teams changing their thinking about how they should manage their rosters, and the Boston Celtics are no exception. Much speculation has abounded on how the ball club could trim spending while also making some moves to better balance the team in light of what we learned about the Celtics in the 2023 postseason.

The primary candidate floated to be on the move, perhaps surprisingly at first glance given he won the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award with Boston is Malcolm Brogdon. And with the team needing depth in the frontcourt, a club like the Detroit Pistons — who lack a veteran point guard to guide their younger floor generals but also have cap space to absorb salary — appear to be an ideal trade partner with a surplus of big men,

Let’s take a look at three potential targets that could save Boston money while addressing their depth that could also help jump-start the Piston’s rebuild.

The Kings’ deteriorating relationship with Marvin Bagley III, explained

Whew, this is such a bad look.

The top picks of the NBA’s 2018 draft class have made absolutely massive waves so far in their short careers.

Deandre Ayton has been to the NBA Finals. Trae Young has been to a Conference Finals and is an All-Star. Luka Doncic is an All-NBA player already.

And then there’s Marvin Bagley III.

The Kings picked Bagley second overall out of Duke and, well, let’s just say things haven’t quite gone as smoothly as anyone would’ve liked them to.

Bagley’s career with the Kings has been a mess so far. He had a solid start in his rookie season, but it’s been downhill from there. He’s been played out of position at times. He’s also been hurt at other times. Now, there are times where the Kings just don’t play him.

And that’s driven a wedge between him and the team that reportedly came to a head on Monday during Sacramento’s game against the Suns.
