Bojan Bogdanovic has provided some perspective on his prospects and it is unwelcoming news for the Lakers, who have supposedly been chasing after him for a substantial part of the season. It appears that the Pistons have managed to persuade Bogdanovic to remain.
“After discussions with the team, Troy (Weaver), and the stakeholders, they guaranteed me that we’re going to thrive next season,” shared Bogdanovic with HoopsHype.
“We possess ample financial flexibility to secure exceptional players. We are bound to secure a valuable draft pick once again, which will be immensely beneficial for us. We have a remarkable group of young athletes. The loss of Cade (Cunningham) had a significant impact. There was a perception that we might be contending for a spot in the play-in tournament, but when he got injured, he was our linchpin. Our offensive tactics were intertwined with him. Subsequently, when he was absent, our season experienced numerous fluctuations.”
Undoubtedly, this contrasts with an official contract signing. Nevertheless, it is evident that the Pistons hold Bogdanovic in high regard, indicating that it would necessitate considerable efforts to lure him away.
Bogdanovic also candidly addressed the speculations, albeit offering a somewhat conventional response.
“I have heard the rumors, but I prefer to distance myself from such discussions,” shared Bogdanovic with HoopsHype. “I am not engaged in any social media platforms like Twitter. I do not delve deeply into these matters. It is beyond my control. It pertains to the franchises. My focus is on maintaining concentration and delivering optimal performances. Subsequently, we shall ascertain the developments nearing the conclusion of the trade deadline.”
