Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal 

If this deal is on the table, the Pistons can’t hesitate to take it. 

If their logic in acquiring Bogdanovic did involve landing a veteran to help their young core, they should be interested in Crowder. He’s a much better defender and a lower-usage player.

He’s the type of 3-and-D wing Jaden Ivey ought to get used to playing alongside. 

Obviously, that isn’t the main draw for the Pistons here. That would be the Suns’ first-round pick. If acquiring Bogdanovic doesn’t help them take a serious step forward, it could be a fairly valuable one.

With that said, no matter where it lands, it’s market value for a player like Bogey. All told, this is a no-brainer for the Pistons. 

They shouldn’t think twice about making this decision.
