REPORT: Bojan Bogdanovic Headed to Detroit for Kelly Olynk and Saben Lee

The Utah Jazz is reportedly finalizing a trade to flip Bojan Bogdanovic to Detroit for Kelly Olynk and Saben Lee, according to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

Detroit’s move nets them a veteran scorer that can round out their lineup. Flipping Bogdanovic helps Utah get another center option, a potential point guard off the bench, and fast-tracks their rebuild. Utah has been busy in the trade market after their first-round loss to the Dallas Mavericks in six games.

The early exit prompted Jazz CEO Danny Ainge to do some soul-searching, where he ultimately concluded that Utah would be better off trading Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert and using the draft capital they acquired to start a rebuild.

Bogdanovic averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game on 45.5 percent shooting from the field and 38.7 percent from beyond the arc.
