The search for new talent by the Los Angeles Lakers continues to this day. They’ve had some success in recent weeks, but they need that extra oomph to stabilize their roster.
The Lakers are desperate to sign Bojan Bogdanovic
Bojan Bogdanovic of the Detroit Pistons is one of their rumored targets. According to Marc Stein, LA has attempted to make an enticing offer to Detroit, but the latter team has refused to budge on their demands.
“Sources say that the Lakers recently offered a trade package to Detroit for Bogdanović centered around one future first-round pick with unspecified draft protections attached. The Pistons have to date declined those overtures, sources add, insisting on a fully unprotected future first from the Lakers to seriously entertain a Bogdanović swap.”
Stein goes on to say that the Pistons remain committed to Bojan Bogdanovic. That certainly complicates the Lakers’ chances of acquiring the Croatian.
Of course, they want to attract top talent. They don’t want to give up too much capital, however, for a 33-year-old supporting forward on the roster.
