Reports suggest that the Milwaukee Bucks offered Michael Carter-Williams to the Sacramento Kings for Ben McLemore and the Kings declined. Was that the correct move to make?

ESPN’s Marc Stein first reported that the Bucks called the Kings and offered up Michael Carter-Williams (MCW) in exchange for Ben McLemore.

Here is a highlight video of Michael Carter-Williams from last season to give you a glimpse into his on-court abilities.

This is an interesting trade offer on many levels. Carter-Williams’ NBA credentials are more impressive having won Rookie of the Year in 2013-2014. The Kings had the chance to take MCW in the 2013 NBA draft at pick seven and instead opted to take Ben McLemore. Sacramento is needy at point guard and on defense two things Carter-Williams excels at. Let us break down the players further to examine if the Kings made the correct decision in declining the Bucks offer.
