Grade the trade: Pistons get value in proposed deal with Grizzlies

This trade comes from Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report, who has identified the Detroit Pistons as one the teams most likely to make a trade before the season begins.

Would this be enough to get Detroit to trade Bojan Bogdanovic?

In this trade, the Detroit Pistons take on two forwards and a lightly protected first-round pick from Memphis in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic.

The deal makes sense for the Grizzlies, as their defense is already very good and should be even better after the addition of Marcus Smart. But they could use a floor spreader like Bogdanovic in the half court, where they struggled at times last season with spacing.

Neither Williams nor Clarke are expected to have a big role next season, and the pick they are giving up will likely be in the late first round since Memphis expects to contend for the Western Conference.

But is this a good deal for the Pistons?
