Atlanta Hawks receive: G Patrick Beverley, G Kendrick Nunn, 2027 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – LAL) 

Los Angeles Lakers receive: G/F Bogdan Bogdanovic 

Of course, there’s plenty of logic behind the rumors suggesting the Lakers could target the other Bogdanovic. 

Specifically, he’s a front-court floor spacer. The Lakers need to surround LeBron James and Russell Westbrook with catch-and-shoot specialists. That’s Bojan, to a tee. 

He’ll also command a hefty price. The Lakers have the resources to acquire the Pistons’ Bogdanovic.

They won’t be able to put lottery protections on the first-round pick they’ll surrender to do so.
