They've also discussed concepts involving New York's Cam Reddish and Evan Fournier, via the report.

While Bogdanovic is a target for the Lakers — they are among roughly a dozen teams to inquire about him, offering first- or second-rounders — Detroit is showing no urgency about moving him. In fact, the Pistons have expressed to rival teams a significant reluctance about moving Bogdanovic, the NBA insider further reports.

The Croatian forward, 33, agreed on a two-year, $39.1 million contract extension with Detroit on October 31.

Since joining the team following September's trade, Bogdanovic has been a key player for the rebuilding franchise.

Throughout 28 matches of the 2022-23 season, the veteran wing has been averaging 21.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game on 50.8% shooting from the field.
