One NBA writer is proposing that the Dallas Mavericks acquire Bojan Bogdanovic from the Detroit Pistons in a blockbuster trade. Lee Tran of Fadeaway World proposed the following trade between the Mavericks and Pistons:
Dallas Mavericks Receive: Bojan Bogdanovic
Detroit Pistons Receive: Tim Hardaway Jr., Josh Green, 2025 Second-Round Pick (TOR), 2028 Second-Round Pick (MIA)
Bogdanovic is one of the top shooters in the NBA. The veteran swingman averaged 21.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists last season for the Pistons while shooting 48.8% from the field, 41.1% from beyond the arc and 88.4% from the free-throw line.
In October 2022, Bogdanovic signed a two-year, $39 million extension with the Pistons. He will have made over $142 million in his NBA career once his current contract ends. Detroit can always start next season with Bogdanovic on the roster and move him before or at the 2024 trade deadline.

There could be a desperate playoff team in need of shooting who will give the Pistons want they want for Bogdanovic, who has career averages of 15.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists with the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz and Pistons.
The going price multiple teams have found from the Pistons for Bogdanovic is one first and multiple seconds, which is too steep for any suitor so far, according to NBA insider Matt Moore of The Action Network.
“There is no doubt that Bojan Bogdanovic’s 3PT shooting and scoring could help bring the Dallas Mavericks to the next level,” Tran wrote in his latest NBA trade column. “Though they have a good squad right now, adding another elite piece can help them win a championship, which is ultimately the goal while Luka Doncic is on the roster.”

The Mavericks went 38-44 last season. They missed the playoffs despite having Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. The team needs more shooters around Doncic and Irving, which is why the front office has been trying to acquire Bogdanovic all summer, league sources told NBA Analysis Network.
