Kings forward Marvin Bagley III<\/a> doesn\u2019t understand why fans got so upset when he liked a tweet saying \u201cwe gotta get @MB3FIVE outta Sac\u201d and removed any mention of the Kings from his social media bios.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through three seasons, Bagley has averaged very productive numbers, 14.5 points, 7.5 rebounds per game. Bagley clearly believes he\u2019s a better player than he\u2019s shown with the Kings, which is true, and he recently liked a tweet suggesting that he deserves better than what Sacramento has to offer him, and that’s a fact, starting with a new COACH!!!!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bagley addressed his latest social media controversy on an episode of the \u201cHalfway Decent Pod<\/a>,\u201d saying he can do whatever he wants on his personal Twitter profile.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, it\u2019s my Twitter, bro,\u201d Bagley said. \u201cIt\u2019s my Twitter. It has my name on it. I can like whatever I choose and please, and whatever I feel like liking.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bagley went on to explain he liked the tweet after watching Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young<\/a> score 48 points in a playoff victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Young, who came out of Oklahoma as the No. 5 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, led the Hawks to the Eastern Conference finals in his third season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bagley, who came out of Duke as the No. 2 pick in 2018, hasn\u2019t enjoyed the same kind of success in Sacramento, appearing in only 108 of a possible 226 games due to various injuries. Bagley, 22, was an All-Rookie First Team selection after averaging 14.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in 2018-19, but he was limited to 13 games in his second season and 43 games in his third season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat just came from frustration,\u201d Bagley said, elaborating on his reasons for liking a tweet that disparaged his team. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t even say frustration, just that built-up fire. I think I did it after watching Trae go for 50 in the playoffs and they\u2019re winning. As a competitor, that just makes me want to get to that and I need to be there. I want to be there bad. I think, doing that, it was just one of those things where the competitor came out in me, like I\u2019ve got to be there. I\u2019ve got to do whatever I\u2019ve got to do to be in this position.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 For me, personally, my personal goals and where I\u2019m trying to get to in my career, I\u2019ve got to make it happen. I\u2019ve got to do everything I\u2019ve got to do to make it happen. I think liking that tweet, that\u2019s where that came from and it is what it is. People (are) going to take it and run with it. It is what it is. I did it. It\u2019s my Twitter. I can like and do whatever I want on my account. I\u2019m not hurting nobody. I\u2019m not harming nobody, but you already know how the fans take stuff and want to run with something.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not the first Twitter controversy involving Bagley and his family. It follows a similar pattern of social media behavior from family members, including his father, who took to Twitter in January urging the Kings to \u201cPLEASE trade Marvin Bagley III ASAP!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kings explored their options leading up to the trade deadline in March, but they were unable to find an equitable deal. One league source recently referred to Bagley as \u201cunappreciative\u201d of the opportunities the Kings have given him despite the injury setbacks and his struggle to grasp team concepts at both ends of the floor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“MARVIN BAGLEY III IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE NBA, (14.7 PTS-7.8 RBS PG), AT ONLY 25MIN PER GM AVG. A BETTER COACH, A BETTER GM, A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT, THOSE NUMBERS WILL BE, (25PTS PER GAME- 15 REBOUNDS PER GAME), AND THAT’S A FACT”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
