Detroit Pistons Receive: G Patrick Beverley, G Kendrick Nunn, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic
If you pay attention to Los Angeles Lakers’ rumors, your head is already spinning.
They don’t want to give up draft capital. On the other hand, they are interested in some top-shelf talent. Both of those heavily rumored facts cannot be true at the same time.
This is probably the deal that splits the difference. The Lakers shouldn’t have to part with multiple picks to acquire Bojan Bogdanovic.
Meanwhile, he’d be a significant upgrade to their roster.
