Detroit Pistons: 3 realistic trade destinations for Marvin Bagley III

Houston Rockets

The Rockets are looking to make a jump next season, and adding some depth to their front court is a start in the right direction. The team could use improvements in several different areas although none were more noticeable than the pivot. An interior scorer like Bagley would be a major upgrade to their rotation.

Far too often the Rockets ran pick and roll action without a serviceable lob threat. Bagley can finish around the rim with a soft touch with enough bounce to climb the ladder if needed. He could be a vital piece to the pick and roll action, if he’s not catching lobs he’s creating vertical gravity for teammates to get shots.

Usman Garuba isn’t quite ready to contribute on a consistent basis, so adding Bagley would provide adequate depth off the bench. He could play with either of their other front court players, due to their ability to step outside and shoot. Marvin Bagley’s value to a team like Houston could provide multiple young assets.

If Troy Weaver can pry away a wing player it would balance out the roster of both teams. Trading a productive big to a team in dire need should come with a price tag. A ideal trade scenario would have to include JaeSean Tate’s contract.

Marvin Bagley III has definitely increased his trade value since joining the Detroit Pistons. He’s a big that can get two points playing off the action, or dump it down to him to get a easy basket. Troy’s always working the phones listening to what’s available doing his due diligence. The season is over, the games are over, now the real work begins. The front office of Detroit Pistons will be aggressive in their approach to restore the franchise. Changes to the roster are mandatory if they want to compete next season.
