Bojan Bogdanovic is one of the hottest names on the trade market right now, and for good reason. He is an elite 3PT shooter that can play either forward position. This past season, Bojan Bogdanovic averaged 18.1 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 1.7 APG for the Utah Jazz, while shooting 38.7% from beyond the arc.
A recent report by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype suggested that NBA executives believe that Bojan Bogdanovic will be the next player traded by the Utah Jazz, who have already traded stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
A lot of executives around the league are expecting Bojan Bogdanovic to be the next guy for the Jazz to get moved. They (rival executives) are keeping tabs on guys like Jordan Clarkson and Malik Beasley, but Bogdanovic is the next domino that most people think is going to fall for Utah.
A lot of teams could probably use a player like Bojan Bogdanovic. While he isn’t necessarily a star-level player, he is an elite complementary piece for a contending team.
Who Could Trade For Bojan Bogdanovic?
It is clear that Bojan Bogdanovic has already received a lot of trade interest around the league. He was connected to the Toronto Raptors and the New Orleans Pelicans. Another notable destination was the Los Angeles Lakers. It was previously revealed that the Los Angeles Lakers have discussed a 4-team deal with the Utah Jazz, the New York Knicks, and the Charlotte Hornets which would land them the forward along with sharpshooting guard Terry Rozier.
The Lakers discussed a four-team trade with Utah, New York and Charlotte ahead of the Donovan-Mitchell-to-Cleveland trade, according to league sources. One preliminary iteration of a four-team deal would have had Bojan Bogdanovic and Terry Rozier going back to Los Angeles.
Hopefully, we will see Bojan Bogdanovic land on a contending team and get a real chance to compete for a championship. Obviously, the Los Angeles Lakers could provide that for him, as he would be playing next to two superstars in LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
As of right now, all we can do is wait to see whether Bojan Bogdanovic will end up getting traded. Obviously, it makes sense for the Utah Jazz to trade the veteran rather than keep him around for a lengthy rebuild, and it definitely seems as though it is only a matter of time before Bojan Bogdanovic is on another franchise with a new opportunity.
