Kings Decline To Match Bogdan Bogdanovic's Four-Year, $72M Deal With Hawks
The Sacramento Kings have declined to match the four-year, $72 million offer sheet Bogdan Bogdanovic signed with the Atlanta Hawks.
The Kings perhaps signaled their intent to not retain Bogdanovic in restricted free agency when they discussed a sign-and-trade deal with the Milwaukee Bucks that eventually fell through last week.
The Kings signed Buddy Hield to a four-year, $94 million extension before the 19-20 season and they drafted Tyrese Haliburton last week, making the shooting guard position crowded for the team.
The Hawks were aggressive in free agency this offseason in hopes of returning to the playoffs in 2021, also signing Danio Gallinari, Rajon Rondo and Kris Dunn.
