NBA Trades: 3 trades to help the Sacramento Kings – Indiana Pacers

Kings receive: Domantas Sabonis, Torrey Craig

Pacers receive: Marvin Bagley III, Davion Mitchell, Tristan Thompson, 2022 First-Round Pick, 2024 First-Round Pick

Adding Domantas Sabonis would be a huge addition for the Sacramento Kings. Having a second All-Star-caliber player next to De’Aaron Fox would do wonders.

Sabonis could slide in at the power forward position, playing next to Richaun Holmes in the frontcourt. He’d give Sacramento’s offense a big-time boost.

Past that, Torrey Craig would be an underrated get for this Sacramento squad. He’d be a nice 3&D wing to bring off the bench for them.

As for Indiana, they’d be getting two quality young players and two unprotected draft picks to help kickstart a much-needed rebuild.

It’s been well-documented that Marvin Bagley III’s time with the Kings needs to come to a close. Indiana would be a place for him to restart his career.

Meanwhile, Davion Mitchell is in the midst of a solid rookie season. While it would be unfortunate for the Kings to give up on him, it would be necessary to add Sabonis to the squad.

Since the Pacers are probably looking to retool and rebuild, the Kings should look to throw some of their young assets at Indiana in hopes of getting a deal done.

Nabbing Sabonis would help cement them as at least a play-in team, and potentially more moving forward. This is a move they should definitely look into.
