The Utah Jazz have reportedly traded Bojan Bogdanovic to the Pistons and, in the process, cut off another potential avenue when seeking a Russell Westbrook trade. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the trade between the Jazz and the Pistons, breaking down why a deal like this might not have been available to the Lakers and whether they think there's a "tax" the Lakers pay in negotiations with other teams around the NBA.
