What would give up for him and do you think he'd help us offensively?

He'd definitely help our offense from a spacing perspective and as a secondary/tertiary playmaker. I'd give up Harris and salary filler (maybe Okeke?) and that PHX swap, but DET would want more in terms of draft capital. The only 1st I'd consider giving up for him would be the DEN 2025 1st as I don't anticipate that being a very high value pick as Denver will likely remain a very good team.

He's 34. Our future stars are 22 or under... I wouldn't give up much.

Trading for Bogdanović means G-Harris must be part of the deal. Really the only reason this trade makes sense for Detroit is if the team is looking for a big FA in the 2024 off-season.

If he was a free agent and we signed him for a 1 and 1 deal like Ingles, I would do it. I know we definitely won't trade for him.

I think his role is taken by Ingles.

Bojan averages near 20 ppg for 5 years , he wouldn't be comming off bench.

Ingles is friction of player Bojan is.

Bogdanović is 100% a player that would take this Magic to thhis year's playoffs!

If the cost was only G-Harris and the Denver pick, Orlando must jump all over that.

The depth chart:
Fultz/Anthony/Black
Bogdanović/Suggs/Houstan/Howard
F-Wagner/Ingles
Banchero/Isaac/Okeke
Carter/M-Wagner/Bitadze
+ Kevon Harris, Admiral Schofield, and some other 2way dude

If healthy, that is 100% a 40 win team and a lock for at least the play-ins. The Homers in us could tell a tale of that being an out-right playoff team as a 6 seed, it is that good and deep.

The "if healthy" thing is the rub here. Bogdanović has a lot of miles and might not play 60+ games. But this is an easy gamble to take for such a low cost.

Rhetoric question: would Detroit get more from another team? I think it is a clear yes. The Pistons will want multiple youth and draft assets, not cap space. Orlando landing Bogdanović is thus not really plausible.

p.s. Bogdan over Bojan is plausible. Perhaps for the same package of G-Harris and the Denver pick.

WeltPark, plese get one of these two players!
