A small trade, you take? That’s good: Adrian Wojnarowski revealed this Thursday afternoon that a deal had been found between a Western franchise and an Eastern franchise. The Lakers may have it bad, they who had been eyeing one of the players concerned for many weeks…
The Lakers will not have Bojan Bogdanovic. Yet very interested for many weeks in the profile of the winger, who is coming out of a season with 18 pawns per game, the Angelinos have not managed to close a deal with the Jazz. The Pistons, on the other hand, succeeded:
The Detroit Pistons are finalizing a trade to acquire Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee, sources tell ESPN.

The Pistons are finalizing a trade to acquire Jazz winger Bojan Bogdanovic in exchange for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee, sources tell ESPN.
As announced on our website this morning, Bogdanovic’s days were indeed numbered in Utah, and the XXL reconstruction operation continues for Danny Ainge on the side of Salt Lake City at the dawn of a season which will be placed under the sign of tanking. We can however be surprised by the absence of Draft rounds in this trade, which did not really seduce all Internet users when it was announced.
The Pistons, they certainly recover a scorer at 18 points per game, but does the Croatian fit into the “youth” project wanted by Detroit? Nothing is less certain, and we should learn more quickly about the intentions of the front office with Bogdanovic.
A few days before the start of the training camp, it could be that trades start again on the market. In any case, Bogdanovic will not go to the Lakers, who nevertheless coveted him ardently. One less shooting option for Angelinos who are sorely lacking in this sector…
