Bojan Bogdanovic is absolutely a player that would be worth a first-round pick via trade. In arguably his best season thus far, Bogdanovic is a player that could absolutely be an asset for a Lakers team that is looking for some offensive firepower. Bogdanovic is also a player that Los Angeles has been linked to already, so it’s pretty much a no-brainer.

Bogdanovic is averaging 21 points and four rebounds per game on 51 percent shooting from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range. He would fill a valuable role that the Lakers need filled and would drastically change the way teams defend them.

Bogdanovic would immediately be the team’s best 3-point shooter and would help take some of the offensive pressure off the second unit (assuming that he’d play off the bench).

Who knows if the Pistons get to a point where they trade him but if he is indeed on the trade block leading up to the deadline, the Lakers should absolutely be in the bidding war.
