After a week full of rumors and speculation regarding his future in the league, Bogdan Bogdanovic has found a new team in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks. The Serbian player appeared to be heading to Milwaukee at the start of this week but rules of tampering prevented the Bucks to create a great squad with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, and Bogdanovic.
Now the 28-year-old is taking his talents to Atlanta after agreeing to a four-year, $72 million deal, reports Marc Stein of the New York Times
Bogdan Bogdanovic has signed his four-year offer sheet worth $72 million from the Atlanta Hawks, league sources say
The deal, I'm told, includes a player option in Year 4 and 15-percent trade kicker for the restricted free agent
The Kings will have 48 hours to match

Stein adds that the Sacramento Kings can still match the offer made by the Hawks in the next 48 hours.
The max trade kicker in the Bogdanovic offer sheet, I'm told, is structured so the team that deals him away must pay it
The Hawks have taken every measure possible to add Bogdanovic to a signing spree that already features Danilo Gallinari, Rajon Rondo and Kris Dunn to Atlanta

His stock has raised incredibly during the past season and Bogdanovic became one of the most sought-after players in the league. Teams like the Lakers, Hawks and Pacers showed interest in the player, but it was that could finally land the player.
Bogdan can help Trae Young and co. to compete with his shooting ability and his handlers. He’s a very good two-way player that can make an instant impact on the Hawks as soon as he lands there.
