Last season, it seemed like the Detroit Pistons wouldn’t part ways with veteran forward Bojan Bogdanovic no matter what.
Several months and many losses later, they may be changing their tune.
According to James L. Edwards III, via Evan Sidery, the Pistons appear “more willing to listen to trade offers on Bojan Bogdanovic.”
The report says that Detroit’s asking price for Bogdanovic is a “good” first-round pick and a “good” player as well.
The Pistons appear more willing to listen to trade offers on Bojan Bogdanovic ahead of the deadline, per @JLEdwardsIII (https://t.co/p77Mqv9jFw).

What constitutes “good”?
That is a question that only the Pistons know the answer to.
However, a big offering could be worth it for a number of teams because Bogdanovic is a proven veteran.
This season, he is producing 20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on 46.9% from the floor and 41.7% from the three-point line.
Many front offices would likely be willing to part ways with a “good” player and draft pick in order to have someone as reliable as Bogdanovic.
This is his second season with the Pistons and he’s been one of the most consistent players on the roster.
However, the team has been a disaster all season long and that has led the organization to consider making changes they wouldn’t commit to even a few months ago.
The Pistons said they weren’t going to hit the panic button and start a rebuilding process, despite their dismal track record.
But are they thinking twice about that?
If they do indeed accept an offer from another team, would Bogdanovic be the only player traded?
Could we be on the verge of seeing the Pistons really shake things up?
Because of his talent and experience, many teams would pick up the phone to call the Pistons about Bogdanovic but which one would have the right mixture of draft assets and win-now talent to make a deal happen?
