Apr Rudy Gobert et Donovan Mitchell, will Jazz part ways with another of its incumbents? The 33-year-old outsider Bojan Bogdanović, who is currently playing Eurobasket with Croatia, has seen his name associated with several teams in recent days. According to Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro, the Phoenix Suns are very interested in the player. Author of 18 points and 4 rebounds on average last year, almost 39% from three-point range, Bogdanovic could in fact greatly lead a candidate for the title. However, the reporter says, the Suns will face stiff competition to attract his services.
The fact that Phoenix is a strong team plays against them in signing players since their first-round drafts are expected to be worse than other teams’. The Suns, Lakers, Mavs and Knicks are all interested in Bojan Bogdanovic and the choices of drafts and expiring contracts will be decisive in finding a transfer agreement.
Many teams are trying to attract Bogdanovic’s services. The Suns, who will be an attractive option for the latter to hope for the title, will have to be ingenious because their draft assets look less attractive than those of teams like the New York Knicks or the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bojan Bogdanovic is in his final year with the Jazz, with an annual salary valued at $19.55 million. The Lakers and Suns have been interested in the player for several weeks, but the Mavericks and Knicks could up the ante around the Croatian. Dallas, having lost Jalen Brunson this summer, really has the courage to replace him with a confirmed scorer. As for the Knicks, who would appreciate the arrival of Bogdanovic, to make up for the farewell of Alec Burks in particular, they also have what it takes to offer an interesting package, having accumulated many draft rounds for the transfer of Donovan Mitchell.
