Bojan bogdanović

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly are "prioritizing shooting in their conversations with teams" ahead of the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline, per.

In his three games as a starter this season, Westbrook averaged 10.3 points per game and shot 28.9 percent from the field. The 33-year-old is averaging a career-high 21 points per game this season and is shooting an impressive 43.7 percent from deep. However, the Pistons don't seem particularly inclined to let him go at this juncture. Still, the Lakers find themselves just 11-15 on the year as they continue to recover from a dreadful 2-10 start. The Lakers seem content, at least for the time being, with Russell Westbrook in the sixth-man role. However, Charania added that the Pistons "have expressed to rival teams a significant reluctance about moving" Bogdanović.

In fact, the Pistons have expressed to rival teams a significant reluctance about moving Bogdanovic, the NBA insider further reports. [Los Angeles Lakers](https://basketnews.com/teams/357-los-angeles-lakers.html) are prioritizing shooting in their conversations with teams, and have discussed packages including salaries and a protected first-round pick for [Detroit Pistons](https://basketnews.com/teams/143-detroit-pistons.html) forward [Bojan Bogdanovic](https://basketnews.com/players/6031-bojan-bogdanovic.html), according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Los Angeles Lakers pursue Bojan Bogdanovic to add a solid shooter alongside the star trio of Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis.

According to Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, league sources think that the [Pistons](https://www.eurohoops.net/basket/detroit-pistons/?lang=en&lang=en) may be open to trading Bogdanovic. [Utah Jazz](https://www.eurohoops.net/basket/utah-jazz/?lang=en&lang=en), Bogdanovic penned a two-year extension with his new team. [Lakers](https://www.eurohoops.net/basket/los-angeles-lakers/?lang=en&lang=en).

As much sense as that makes, if the price was right, I’m sure Troy Weaver would be willing to send out Bogdanovic for some prime draft capital. But it is unclear how much an already thin Lakers squad is willing to surrender to add some reliable 3-point shooting. In fact, the Pistons have expressed to rival teams a significant reluctance about moving Bogdanovic, sources said. That imbalance makes it hard to build a deal around both. Still, if the Pistons are willing to deal Bogdanovic, the protections or lack thereof on that pick would be the prime sticking point. Now, just because that was what the Lakers said, doesn’t mean Detroit did much other than listen politely.

The Los Angeles Lakers are seen as a "key" team in the trade market this season and have some level of interest in players like Bojan Bogdanovic, ...

It’s good news that the Lakers are getting busy as the trade deadline gets closer. Reddish, meanwhile, would be more of a project if the Lakers were to acquire him. [Los Angeles Lakers], now 11-15 and three games out of sixth place, have turned their season around and are seen as a key team in the trade market this season,” [wrote]Shams Charania of The Athletic. “The Lakers are prioritizing shooting in their conversations with teams, and have discussed packages including salaries and a protected first-round pick for Detroit’s Bojan Bogdanovic, league sources, who were granted anonymity so that they could speak freely, tell The Athletic. Adding some shooting would be a major step in the right direction. As for Fournier, he has a solid track record when it comes to 3-point shooting.

The Lakers are reportedly keen on pursuing Bojan Bogdanovic, who's averaging career-bests in point, field goal percentage, and three-point accuracy.

[Detroit Pistons](https://www.slamonline.com/?s=Pistons) forward [Bojan Bogdanovic](https://www.slamonline.com/?s=Bojan), according to [Shams Charania of The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3992371/2022/12/12/bojan-bogdanovic-jae-crowder-shams-charania-inside-pass/). Coming off a 38-point outing in a loss to the Lakers, where he shot 12 of 22 from the field (54.5 percent) and also buried six threes, you could really see why the Lakers have been pursuing him so favorably. [Los Angeles Lakers](https://www.slamonline.com/?s=Lakers) have been struggling to find consistency this season. According to Shams, the Pistons have “expressed — significant reluctance about moving Bogdanovic” to any of the dozen teams that have inquired about trading for the 33-year-old forward. [trade](https://www.slamonline.com/nba/report-lakers-and-jazz-in-trade-talks-to-acquire-bojan-bogdanovic/) with the [Utah Jazz](https://www.slamonline.com/?s=Jazz), but nothing went through. Even with [Anthony Davis’](https://www.slamonline.com/?s=Anthony+Davis) stellar play these last few weeks of November and [LeBron James](https://www.slamonline.com/?s=Lebron+james) beginning to return to form after suffering a [groin injury](https://www.slamonline.com/nba/darvin-ham-says-lebron-james-will-be-day-to-day-with-a-groin-injury/), the Lakers still find themselves on the outside looking in at a playoff or play-in spot.

Less than 24 hours after Pistons shooter Bojan Bogdanovic had a career night against the Lakers, the team is once again being linked to him in NBA trade ...

And for the Lakers, Bogdanovic would undoubtedly fill a need, a capable movement shooter who can thrive off of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, adding an element to their offense that the team just doesn’t possess at all right now. Detroit, in fact, continues to tell interested teams (and there are several) that it wants to keep Bogdanović, who is averaging 21.0 points and shooting 50.8% from the field (43.7% on 3-pointers) as a Piston. In fact, it may have even helped his odds to end up in Los Angeles by a significant margin. [Los Angeles Lakers](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com) did not only start targeting Bojan Bogdanovic because he scored [a career-high for a quarter 25 of his 38 total points](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2022/12/11/23504422/lakers-vs-pistons-final-score-anthony-davis-lebron-james-bojan-bogdanovic-stats-recap) in the third frame of the team’s 124-117 win over the Pistons on Sunday night. [The Athletic’s James Edwards III wrote], Bogdanovic has become a leader for this young Pistons group, a productive catalyst on and off the floor, showing exactly why general manager Troy Weaver does not want to move him. In fact, the Pistons have expressed to rival teams a significant reluctance about moving Bogdanovic, sources said.

From a logical perspective, it seems likely that the Pistons will eventually fully embrace the tank and get another asset for a player who is by far their most valuable veteran on the trade market. The team tried to get Bogdanovic [as part of an ultimately rejected four-team trade](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2022/9/16/23357346/lakers-trade-rumors-hornets-jazz-knicks-donovan-mitchell-russell-westbrook-terry-rozier) that would have sent Donovan Mitchell to the [Charlotte Hornets](https://www.atthehive.com) over the summer, and they have [already discussed a deal for him with Detroit](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2022/11/13/23454414/lakers-trade-rumors-bojan-bogdanovic-detroit-pistons-phoenix-suns) in the wake of Bogdanovic’s extension earlier this season.
