NBA Trade Rumors: 1 Splash move fringe contenders should make to possibly win a title

Minnesota Timberwolves

If the recent report that the Detroit Pistons declined two future first-round picks in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic from a contender is any indication, it's highly unlikely he's going to be moved this season. However, perhaps with the team's recent struggles, they changed course on that stance. And maybe this season, the market for Bogdanovic isn't going to be as deep as it was at this point last year.

Both of those things can be the case. And if it is, a team like the Minnesota Timberwolves can slide their way into a potential bidding war for Bogdanovic. I'm not sure if a package centered around Kyle Anderson, Shake Milton, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and three second-round picks is good enough to move the Pistons, but maybe it can be.

Bogdanovic could be the scoring wing threat that the Wolves need in order to put them over the top in the Western Conference and to give this team the last boost they need on the offensive end of the floor to give them consistency heading into the thick of the season.
