Since being traded to the Detroit Pistons, Bojan Bogdanovic has been somewhat of a forgotten man around the league. However, he’s coming off one of the best seasons of his career thus far and could emerge as a hot commodity as we inch closer and closer to the NBA Trade Deadline. Especially if the Pistons aren’t able to make the leap that many are hoping they can make this season in the Eastern Conference.

With two years on his contract left, it wouldn’t be that big of a risk for the Knicks. And as the Knicks continue to remain patient waiting for the right superstar to become available, a smaller move for Bogdanovic could make all the difference for a team that is looking to take another step forward in their build. Bogdanovic is an electric scorer who would help on the wing while also being an affordable target, keeping their options open for a bigger move down the line.

If the Knicks do end up making a smaller-level move, Bogdanovic could be a perfect option to bolster the frontcourt as they look to counter some of the other moves made by other contenders in the East.
