To everyone’s surprise, Bojan Bogdanovic recently took over as manager of the Detroit Pistons. If the departure of the Utah Jazz winger was expected, it was thought that the Croatian would fly away to join an NBA title contender.
During the negotiations, we know that the Salt Lake City franchise refused to encumber itself with players with long-term contracts. But another element influenced the discussions. Namely the requirements of the native of Mostar for the rest of his career.
Indeed, according to information from journalist Marc Stein, Bogdanovic is looking for a long-term contract. A request that has seriously cooled the interests of several NBA cadors.
Do the Pistons intend to grant him this extension? Not necessarily. But the formation of Motor City can take the risk to recover it without really satisfying it. And thereafter, there will still be time to possibly trade it again before the deadline.
Because at that time, an ambitious team may be capable of an offer “important” hoping to grab the Playoffs. Bojan Bogdanovic could still fuel the rumours…
