Trade Idea: Rockets Acquire Pistons' Bojan Bogdanovic

In a trade idea proposed by Bleacher Report, the Rockets would acquire Bogdanovic for Victor Oladipo, Jock Landale, a 2024 first-round pick (via BRK), a 2024 second-round pick (protected for picks 56-59, via GSW) and a 2025 second-round pick.

"If the Rockets seek further acceleration of their rebuild, then they have to find ways of upgrading their 21st-ranked offense," Bleacher Report writes. "Upping their three-point volume (22nd in makes) and accuracy (24th in percentage) is the simplest way to go about that, and Bogdanović—a current supplier of 3.0 triples on 40.8 percent shooting—would do a lot to scratch that itch."

Parting ways with the Nets' first-round pick, which projects to be in the lottery, is arguably the Rockets' best trade chip for the deadline. And if they were to trade it, they better get a player worth the cost. Bogdanovic could be that, as long as he plays like he has been in Detroit. However, there's no guarantee that he would fit the already-crowded rotation of forwards.

It would certainly be a risk, but the higher the risk ... the higher the reward.
