NBA Rumors: No Less Than 10 Teams Courting Bojan Bogdanovic

With just over a month to go before the deadline, one of the most sought-after players on the trade market is undoubtedly the Detroit Pistons' leading scorer, Bojan Bogdanovic.

NBA Insider Marc Stein tells us that he has at least 10 interested teams, and that the Pistons are playing a sort of cat-and-mouse game with trade suitors.

No one is in more demand than the Pistons' sharpshooter, league sources say. The Pistons have been telling teams for weeks now that they don't want to trade Bogdanović ... but also that it would take an unprotected first-round pick if they have a change of heart. The growing list of interested suitors has nonetheless reached double digits by this point.

Stein says that teams are hoping that the exorbitant price the Pistons are setting is merely a "negotiating ploy" and that the ask will start to become more reasonable as the Feb. 9th trade deadline gets closer.

Some of the teams that we do know are interested include the Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. And the Mavs know first-hand what the current price of doing business with Detroit is.

The Pistons are rumored to have asked for the Mavs' 2027 first-round pick and a player like Davis Bertans in return.  

Four+ weeks to go. Many teams are interested. But with the price set so high, who'll blink first?
