25% chance of being traded

James Wiseman, Bojan Bogdanovic

Some team may want to take a flyer on Wiseman's potential, as the Pistons did last season when they stupidly traded Saddiq Bey for him. But again, how much interest is anyone going to have in a guy who can't get minutes for the league's worst team, especially when there have been plenty of injury minutes to fill? When Wiseman has played, he's looked like one of the worst big men in the NBA. His contract is also sizeable enough that he won't be easy to move without taking back something awful in return.

Bojan Bogdanovic is a tough call. Reports indicate the Pistons aren't moving him at the deadline, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. I do think Detroit would jump at the right deal, but thus far, teams seem unwilling to meet their asking price, and the Pistons see Bogdanovic as more valuable than a couple of second-round picks. They are also motivated by the shame of being the worst team in league history, and keeping Bojan might prevent that. Might.

Philadelphia is the most recent team to express interest according to reports.

Bogdanovic's contract also works in the Pistons' favor, as he only has a year left on a reasonable amount for his production and could be moved in the offseason or next trade deadline.

I wouldn't be shocked if Bojan were traded, but as of right now, it doesn't seem likely. A lot of people would put him higher and I think that's fair.
