However, if we tweek this trade a bit, with Drummond going to Sac and Dedmon coming here (we could use him to send Powell to the bench where he has proven to be a pretty big asset IMO). How much do we have to send out in order to bring in Bogdanovic? If the premise of Drummond not being very valuable as a trade asset, then with my assumption that there is not a way to get what Kings see as Bog's value, how does this tweek to the trade look?
The Mavs end up with Drummond.

Det => Drummond and Rose
Det <= Lee, JB, DW, Giles and their own 2020 second from Sac
Sac => Giles, Bogdanovic, Dedmon, and Det 2020 second
Sac <= Drummond and GSW second
Dal => Lee, JB, DW and GSW second
Dal <= Bogdanovic, Rose and Dedmon
I'd add JJ to either team if they want him as well. That gets Det a slew of young developing players and their own second back to forge into their tanking rest of the season. In negotiations, if JJ was required to be outgoing: if he goes to Det, GSW stays going to Sac. If he goes to Sac, GSW goes to Det. Otherwise, JJ could also be the added value to not have to include the GSW pick...all depending on the negotiations.
Separate from the above post:
The 3 players that I think would solidify this team, once they get a bit of experience and gel time under their belt (once acquired), and make them a contender are:
Bogdanovich, RoCo (or OPJ) and Favors
Those are a specific 3 (4), so really whenever I can find an upgrade with similar skillsets and capability (capability because we can't get a lesser version of them, like say a bench quality guy with their skillset, we can however, get a greater version of them), I'm pulling the trigger and I'm using anyone not named Luka or KP to do so. Bench be damned until I get those guys (or the like) because we can and have been proven to be able to find bench players.
