Maybe Detroit wants some of our youth? Give them Coffey, Bones, Boston and PJ Tucker and we get Bogdanovic to start at the 4? Russ, Mann, Powell, Plumlee & Theis off the bench for the playoffs? I would do that trade as the Clippers. He checks none of the boxes we need. He's not a physical defender and averages 3.5 rebounds per game. His scoring is good, but we don't need that.

If I were them, I'd keep Bogdanovic for a few years. He's a good player.
They'll get younger this year via the draft.

Russ is so freaking likable as a person. Really seems to be a genuine and grateful person. You can’t help but root for him on the floor and with his abilities it’s no wonder he is such a crowd pleaser. He’s incredibly important to this organization. Ive always liked RW, but when he was with LAL and things weren't going well (with LeBron LeBroning him), his 'likability' took a big hit. Can't blame him, I guess. But on the court, you have to love what he does.

Agree. He's not a power forward. Right. And T. Mann is. He's not either. But if a move is going to be made, I'd like it to be for a PF, not a player at another position, or a player that doesn't rebound.

He rebounds the same as T. Mann, whom he would be replacing as a starter, but he is bigger, stronger and scores better. Who would you rather have go up against Gobert and KAT? Or Jokic and A. Gordon? Sure he's not an ideal PF but we need size and every little bit helps.

Bogdanovic would def be an upgrade. It's not the ideal position, but if you look at what he brings it would def have a place on this team. He's actually on a team that utilizes his skills well currently so if I were Detroit I wouldn't consider him a must sell if you had long term plans for him. I can see this team having a pretty decent turn around by just adding a couple free agents. Like the Rockets just did. But yeah his knock down shooting would just make us that much harder to guard. The question is do we have enough to get a trade done or would we be willing to trade Mann?

I would like that too, but who is available out there that we can get? I am not looking at contracts at this minute, just looking at names. www.sbnation.com/nba/2024/2/2/24058613/nba-trade-deadline-rumors-dejounte-murray-dangelo-russell-miles-bridges-pj-tuckerI don't know if he's available, but Beef Stew on the Pistons. He might be available, if the Pistons think they can lose some depth and commit to a Thompson-Duren starting frontcourt. I don't think Charlotte should trade him, but Miles Bridges if he's available. Andrew Wiggins is expensive, but is a slightly better rebounder. I think there's better options. I like Jae'sean Tate. Bruce Brown is too good of a rebounder to keep off this list. He doesn't have the size, but he always has the rebound numbers. Olynyk. Ok, so my list would be, in some kind of order: Beef Stew, Olynyk, Miles Bridges have the best size. Tate and Brown are shorter but do have the rebound numbers. I can understand a reluctance to trade for Miles both because of his personal issues, and because he's a pending FA who will probably explore a lot of different options. While someone like Tate or Brown or some of the others have a better chance of re-signing. There's no guarantees with anyone, but with certain players there's a better chance than others. There's a team option on Tate for next year, so that seems like a better investment. Stewart's extension starts next year, and there's a team option for 2027 - 2028. Maybe that's a good thing, because the team can still trade him at some point if they want, and another team might want someone they can try out for a little while.

The question is do we have enough to get a trade done or would we be willing to trade Mann? The Pistons should keep Bogdanovic. They need shooting, and actually have decent size. So he complements their team.

I'm stealing this from the LA Chargers head coach.
WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US!??
Nobody.

The question is do we have enough to get a trade done or would we be willing to trade Mann? Detroit is in last place in the East with a 6-42 record, they have no business trying to turn things around at this point, they need to look to the future. Bogdanovic is 34, he will be 35 in two months, he has no place in their future. My speculation — and it's only speculation — is that they might be interested in some young players with potential. They just had a good look at Coffey who played very well against them. Throw in Bones & Boston (or Maybe Kobe Brown), and they may see an advantage in doing it. For us, it would definitely by an upgrade, the question is would they go for it? I'm thinking of our playoff paths and the big teams we'll have to face at some point. I think we need more size.

Bogdanovic is 34, he will be 35 in two months, he has no place in their future. I think hitnrun24 means turning things around next year. That's why he mentioned free agents. That's why he mentioned the Rockets comparison, with Houston adding free agent VanVleet this offseason. Detroit can sign some FAs too and perhaps be sort of like Houston. Also, they can still try to find better lineups and rotations and win a few games, without hurting their draft lottery odds. Lastly, he's about the only older player they play. I think it's good to have someone established on their team, this year, and next year. They already have a lot of young players who are trying to find themselves, and will have another in this year's lottery. They had Joe Harris on the team and barely played him when he was healthy. So Bogdanovic is about the only older player they do play.

corkscrew, I gave you my list. What do you think about any of them? I think they could help.
