A new NBA trade proposal would send Bojan Bogdanovic from the Detroit Pistons to the New York Knicks.
Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report proposed the following trade idea between the Pistons and Knicks:

“The Knicks need a little more offensive juice, and they’ll always be in the market for more shooting as long as RJ Barrett, Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson are in the frontcourt,” Buckley wrote. “Bogdanovic could immediately improve their spacing and add a touch more size (6’7″, 226 lbs) to their non-Randle lineups.”

The Knicks are interested in acquiring Bogdanovic from the Pistons, sources told NBA Analysis Network. Bogdanovic averaged 21.6 points last season while shooting 48.8% from the field, 41.1% from beyond the arc and 88.4% from the free-throw line.
Bogdanovic has career averages of 15.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 39.4% from 3-point land with the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz and Pistons.
In October 2022, Bogdanovic signed a two-year, $39 million extension with the Pistons. The veteran is making $20 million this season.
Bogdanovic has yet to play this season due to a right calf strain. Many people around the NBA don’t expect Bogdanovic to spend the entire season on the Pistons since he’s better suited to play for a contender. Detroit has the worst record in the NBA.
