The Sacramento Kings have agreed to trade Marvin Bagley III to the Detroit Pistons as part of a four-team trade. Detroit has long been linked with a deal for Bagley, who was picked second overall in 2018 and has had a disappointing tenure with the Kings.

The Kings will acquire Donte DiVincenzo from the Milwaukee Bucks. Sacramento will also acquire Josh Jackson and Trey Lyles from the Pistons.

Milwaukee will acquire Serge Ibaka from the Los Angeles Clippers. With Brook Lopez out with a back injury, the Bucks needed to upgrade the center position.

Sixers are going to be a problem.

The roster basically only Drummond and swapped out Seth for Harden.

It seems like at some point, the Spurs roster is going to consist of 15 wing players. i liked their trade with Boston - though they did give up the best player in that trade.

The good thing for both teams is now they've settled on what they want to do. But... there's risks for both teams - particularly the Nets. Philly gave up a lot of pieces, but this really settles their roster. The question is, how much has Harden lost? He's still hugely productive, but he's lost a step from his prime. And for the Nets, they're now depending on 2 strange characters - Simmons and Kyrie - not to mention a banged up KD. But they also get help with Curry.

I think the Sixers have the big risk. They are betting that Harden in his mid-30s will be pretty close to prime James Harden. I think the Nets might have reduced their ceiling, but they did put a dent in all the picks they gave up in the Harden deal. For a big market team, having future draft picks is more important than control of your own picks.

The Harden/Kyrie/Durant big 3 for the Nets was like the McGrady/Grant Hill pairing for the Magic, a what could have been combination of stars.

I think the Spurs have to let Devin Vassell and Josh Primo get a lot more minutes now. Lonnie Walker is a restricted free agent so not sure they're going to keep him.

San Antonio is such a weird team. They have the net rating of a .500 team... they should be on track for 41 wins but they've lost 7 or 8 games on the last possession this season.

It's great tanking.

The spurs are a weird one to nail down like are they tanking ? They have an odd amount of young tallent.

One of the most fun things to follow now is the Nets' losing streak - now at 11. They are somewhat worse when Durant isn't in the lineup.

8th seed now and falling. With Durant out another 2 weeks, it'll be interesting to see how long the streak can go. Hopefully we don't win the 10th seed play-in for a chance to play the Nets.

The 'Styx just signed a star Japanese point guard named Rui.

What are the odds?

Kind of like when we had Muggsy and Manute -- the tallest and shortest players in the history of the NBA.

Tristan Thompson to the Bulls, addition playoff depth for them....

LeBron has no shame :lol:

Every time he leaves a team, he’s ravaged the franchise of their assets to win now.

He sees the writing on the wall in LAL.

Jevon Carter waived. I’ve always liked him.

Whaddaya say? Kick the tires?

Sign me up on Jevon Carter. We have a roster spot I think...?

As much as he irks me, Lebron has brought a ‘chip to each of those franchises. That is what picks are for, right? They are assets to help you win. And win he has done. No team’s window stays open forever.
