L.A. Reportedly Remains Open To Trade For Bojan Bogdanovic

It seems that your Los Angeles Lakers remain interested in veteran Detroit Pistons stretch four Bojan Bogdanovic, after outreach to his former club, the Utah Jazz, ultimately did not yield a fruitful trade over the summer. 

Although Bogdanovic inked a two-year, $39 million contract extension with Detroit last month, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports that the team may still be looking to move him later.

“What it really does is it gives them contract control so it’s easier to trade him in July,” one assistant general manager told Yahoo Sports, “when a team that needs him is far more likely to have cap space and wiggle room.”

Fischer notes that, though the Lakers and Phoenix Suns did contact the Jazz about a potential deal last summer, the team opted to flip Bogdanovic to the Pistons instead. But that doesn't mean he'll be a Piston forever.
