Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal
By contrast, the Pistons are far from win-now mode. At 7-19, they have one of the worst win percentages in the entire NBA.
In all likelihood, that’s not what they had in mind when they landed Bogdanovic. It felt like the Pistons were ready to take a step forward. At the same time, failing to do so comes with its own benefits.
Specifically, this deal should help the Pistons ensure top lottery odds. Of course, they shouldn’t give away Bogdanovic for free in order to do so. Luckily, that’s not what they’re doing here.
In all likelihood, Pistons would only be interested in Okoro here.

If all goes well, acquiring him will be a decision the Pistons don’t look to reverse.
