The NBA is investigating what happened between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Sacramento Kings when they tried to reach an agreement with Bogdan Bogdanovic, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski added that the league is investigating whether the team’s failed deal took a position before league regulations allowed it. Wojnarowski noted that if an agreement had been reached on Tuesday as originally announced, it would be three days before the league legalized such a pact.
It was widely reported that the Kings would send Bogdanovic to the Bucks at an exchange, however, Sam Amick of The Athletic said that resolution “is in danger” because he did not settle for the deal.
Wojnarowski later reported that Bogdanovic planned to enroll in a limited firm on Friday, even though Milwaukee and Sacramento sought to work with him to create a signing and exchange agreement.
According to Amick, Milwaukee was to send Donte DiVincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova and DJWilson to the Kings for Bogdanovic and Justin James after obtaining Jrue Holiday from the New Orleans Pelicans for Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, 3 full-time first-round picks and selection. exchanges.
Unfortunately, it turns out this won’t be the case, which is a heavy blow to the championship contender who may have left with a holiday workout, Bogdanovic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez.
Stein also noted that the Bucks resigned from Ilyasova on Thursday, which “strengthened the league-wide confidence that Bogdanovic will be led in the loose sector. “
Bogdanovic averaged 15. 1 problems consistent with last season’s game for the Kings and is the one who can simply take credit for the additional area created through the defensive attention Giannis attracts as a three-point shooter in his career with 37. 4%.
Having something like this may also have helped convince Antetokounmpo to signal his supermax contract and stay with the Bucks instead of heading to a loose company after the 2020–21 season.
Bogdanovic and Holiday’s movements seemed to imply that the Bucks were committed to building a suitor, however, there is an NBA investigation and questions about where Bogdanovic will be for next season.
