NBA Trade Rumors: Bojan Bogdanović Interests Lakers, Cavs, Suns, Mavs at Deadline

If the Pistons want to start serious trade discussions around Bojan Bogdanovi, they'll have to find a suitor.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Lakers have all shown interest in the player.

Detroit is looking to get at least one first-round pick and/or a young player with upside in a swap.

The Utah Jazz were selling off their best assets in order to rebuild when the Pistons acquired Bogdanovi. He was signed to a two year extension.

The deal worked out well for both sides. Detroit strengthened its leverage at the bargaining table because any team that trades for him will have him under contract for two more years.

If Troy Weaver feels that his presence is more beneficial to the younger players, he can keep him. The Pistons were telling teams that they were serious about keeping the player, according to Stein.

It may be a good time to cash in on the trade value. Through 40 games, his 21.1 points and 2.7 assists per game are career highs, and he continues to be an efficient shooter.

In the Eastern Conference, Detroit is 14th at 11/30 and had a player have surgery on his shin.

Even if Weaver can't find an offer that meshes with the organization's overall direction, he should be able to flip Bogdanovi for valuable pieces that align with the organization's overall direction.
