Bojan got traded to the Pistons from the Jazz. There is a time and a place for this.
Sources told Adrian Wojnarowski that the Utah Jazz are working on a trade to send Bojan Bogdanovic to the Detroit Pistons.
The Jazz parted with all-stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell in separate blockbusters signaling the franchise's rebuild.
The Pistons have two first-round draft picks in the next two years, including the No. 1 overall pick in 2021, and Jaden Ivey, who was picked fifth overall this year.
The Pistons, who finished last season second worst in the NBA in long-range shooting at 32.6%, are expected to improve their long-range shooting with the signing of 3-point shooting specialist Bojan Bogdanovich. In parts of seven seasons with the Jazz, Pacers, Wizards, and Nets, he has averaged 15.2 points and 3.6 rebound.
In 40 games with the Pistons last season, Olynyk averaged 9.1 points and 4.2 Rebounds. Utah wants to replace Gobert with a new frontcourt that is stronger.
Lee, 23, has shown flashes of promise in his two seasons with the Pistons but likely would have struggled to find playing time in a crowded backcourt rotation that already includes Cunningham, Ivey, 2020 lottery pick and veterans Alec Burke and Alec Joseph.
