Big trades could put Detroit Pistons in the driver’s seat
Detroit Pistons: Is Bojan Bogdanovic now the top trade target?
The trade market for James Harden isn’t huge, and he may not get traded anyway, so most teams will have to look elsewhere if they want to make impact additions before the trade deadline.
The arms race has officially begun, with the top two teams in the Eastern Conference both adding All-NBA players and the rest of the contenders may feel compelled to make moves to keep up.

When you consider his production and contract (only partially guaranteed after this season) Bojan Bogdanovic is now one of the top trade targets in the NBA.
His shooting could help any contender and after teams watched the Bucks add Lillard and the Celtics add Holiday, they could think a move is necessary if they want to compete.
The Pistons have been in this position before, and last season resisted the urge to move Bogdanovic, but with teams more desperate to upgrade their rosters, we could see even more competition for his services next season.
That puts the Detroit Pistons in a good position, especially in the context of their current roster situation.
