NBA Trade Rumors: Detroit Pistons don't want to trade Bojan Bogdanovic, will take an "overpay" to make it happen

According to The Athletic, the Detroit Pistons have no intention of letting go of Bojan Bogadnovic and it would take a big package to convince them otherwise.

However, the Pistons have also reportedly stated that if they were to trade Bogdanovic, it would take an unprotected first-round pick to seal the deal. The LA Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks and Dallas Mavericks have also been mentioned as possible landing spots for Bogdanovic in trade rumors.

Sober trade thread: Still intrigued by the potential of the Sacramento Kings improving this roster.

Adding OG Anunoby, Lauri Markkanen or John Collins would be great. Ditto with Bojan Bogdanovic, PJ Washington or Jae Crowder. Excluding them as the price would presumably be high.

According to The Athletic, there aren’t too many players who might end up leaving the Detroit Pistons:

“The Pistons’ asking price for Bojan Bogdanović is high — I’m of the understanding that, at this moment in time, they won’t part with him for anything less than an unprotected first and a good young player — because they don’t want to trade him.

"It would take an overpay for Detroit to part ways with Bogdanović. I don’t think Alec Burks is going anywhere. I also don’t think Saddiq Bey does, though he may be more likely than the first two. Nerlens Noel is the only player I see getting traded, and that’s not even a guarantee. Teams may just wait to see if he gets bought out.

“Again, there will be more on this next week, but I agree with Detroit’s approach if this is the way that they go. Cunningham will be back next season, there will likely be another top-five pick in the fold and a ton of cap space to use to add experienced, proven players. That’s a good recipe for sustained success.”

Bojan Bogdanovic is a versatile and experienced forward who is known for his shooting ability, especially from beyond the arc. He is a career 39.4% 3-point shooter, making him a valuable asset to any team looking to add some scoring and floor spacing. There is little doubt that the player can be a huge asset to any contender looking to add depth to the roster.
