A familiar face comes back to Indy
Bojan Bogdanovic improved greatly in his time in Indiana, to the point that he priced himself out of the Pacers range for his services. However, since moving to Detroit, he isn’t really a necessary piece for them if they are not going to contend. So the following trade may help both clubs:
The Pacers get something they have needed for awhile, a power forward that can guard larger power forwards but can also play with the spread offense. Bojan is a skilled shooter, but also has the size to bang around in the paint when needed.
The Pistons get a first-round pick to continue their building process as well as some veteran contracts they may be able to move towards a contender in a future year. While I would be sad to see McConnell go, this seems like a decent return for the Pistons.
Our thoughts? The Pacers should absolutely go for a trade similar to this.
