NBA Rumors: Pistons' Aren't Eager to Trade Bojan Bogdanović; Saddiq Bey 'Gettable'

Bojan and Saddiq Bey are available on the trade market, but the Pistons don't like them.

According to James L.Edwards III of The Athletic, the Los Angeles Lakers are one of a number of teams that have shown interest in Bogdanovi, even offering a future protected first-round pick, but the Pistons seem to want to keep him in hopes of turning a corner over

It is not clear what the Pistons would want in return for Bey. Bey is in a tough spot since Detroit prefers to use two true bigs in its frontcourt, leaving Bey in a tough spot since he is a power forward.

One of the most productive seasons of his nine-year NBA career is currently being played by the 33-year-old Bogdanovi.

Bogdanovi is shooting a career-best 50.8 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from three-point range.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina-born star is in his first season with the Pistons after spending the previous three seasons as a member of the Utah Jazz.

The Pistons are currently out of the playoffs for the fourth year in a row, but there is hope because of some of the young talent on the team.

Cunningham, who was the top pick in the NBA draft, is out for the rest of the season with a shin injury.

Detroit's ability to compete for a playoff spot next season and beyond would be adversely impacted if the Pistons were to move their leading scorer.

Bey has taken a step back in his third NBA season and the Pistons may be able to live without him.

The 2020 first-round pick out of Villanova set new career highs last season with averages of 16.1 points, 5.4 rebound, 2.8 assists and 2.6 three-pointers made, as well as starting all 82 games.

Bey has started just 17 of the 25 games he has appeared in this season, and his averages have dropped to 14.2 points, 4.5 rebound, 1.8 assists and 1.6 three-pointers made.

He shoots better from the field at 40.2 percent, but his three-point conversion rate is the lowest of his career.

Even though Bey is fourth on the team in minutes per game, he is still a big part of the Pistons' core.

It's possible that Detroit could attempt to move Bey for some draft picks and bring in pieces who better fit the lineup the Pistons are attempting to build.
