Grade the trade pitch: Kings acquire Brandon Ingram to pair with Fox & Sabonis
Bleacher Report proposed a trade that would give the Kings three playmakers at three different positions.

The final grade for the trade
As outlined, multiple factors must be considered when possibly acquiring Ingram. To summarize, it depends on whether Bailey's proposed trade is enough for Ingram and whether Ingram is the best player available to the Kings.
Given the Kings' current team makeup, their goals, and how this wouldn't affect their future assets much, this is an excellent deal for the Kings to consider if it's ever on the table for them. Even if it's more likely than not that Ingram isn't the final piece, he's another step in the right direction.
If his worth is truly Barnes, Huerter, and a first, this is a no-brainer.
Grade: A-
