Los Angeles Lakers Can Land Bojan Bogdanovic If They Trade An Unprotected First-Round Pick

The Lakers are interested in Bojan Bogdanovic but are only willing to part with a lottery-protected first-round pick while the Pistons want an unprotected pick.

The Los Angeles Lakers finally strengthened their roster by trading for Rui Hachimura on Monday. It was a move that seemingly came out of nowhere, as he wasn’t one of the names that had been linked with the team earlier.

Still, it was a pretty good trade as he does help fill some holes on this roster and GM Rob Pelinka explained why they wanted Hachimura. There are still moves that can be made to improve this roster and a name that has been linked often with the Lakers is Bojan Bogdanovic. Lakers insider Jovan Buha says Bogdanovic continues to be the name tied to the Lakers among NBA circles but added that there is one roadblock to the move being made.

via The Athletic:

“Detroit’s Bojan Bogdanović continues to be the name most often tied to the Lakers in league circles, but the Pistons are looking for an unprotected first-round pick, at a minimum, in a potential trade, according to league sources. The Lakers’ preference is to only give up a lottery-protected first for the 34-year-old Bogdanović, though that could change when up against the trade-deadline clock.”

It is easy to see the thought process involved for both teams here. The Lakers know that there is a good chance that their first-round picks in 2027 and 2029 could be near the top of the draft, as LeBron James and Anthony Davis might not be on the roster by then. A lottery-protected pick would ensure they keep the pick if it’s a good one but then it won’t be of much use for the Detroit Pistons. Bogdanovic is having the best season of his career as he is averaging 21.5 PPG on 42.3% shooting from beyond the arc and they would feel he would be worth an unprotected first-round pick at this point.


There Are A Lot Of Teams Interested In Bojan Bogdanovic

The Lakers would have to move fast if they are to get him though, as they aren’t the only ones who would like to have the Croatian. Shams Charania reported that the Mavericks, Bucks, Raptors, Cavaliers, and Pelicans have also registered interest in him, so it is unlikely that the asking price will go down, considering there is so much demand.

The Lakers will ultimately have to cave into the Pistons’ asking price if they desperately want him on the roster. It sure is shaping up to be an interesting couple of weeks before the deadline.

His passion for the sport was ignited after witnessing the high-octane offense of the Steve Nash-led Phoenix Suns. Among the Suns, Shawn Marion stood out to Gautam as an all-time underrated NBA player. Marion’s versatility as a defender and his rebounding prowess, despite being just 6’7”, impressed Gautam immensely. He admired Marion’s finishing ability at the rim and his shooting, despite an unconventional jump shot, believing that Marion’s skill set would have been even more appreciated in today’s NBA.This transformative experience not only deepened his love for basketball but also shaped his approach to sports writing, enabling him to connect with readers through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis.
