Bogdan Bogdanovic Reportedly Receives Qualifying Offer from Kings; Will Be RFA

Blake SchusterNov 19, 2020

The Sacramento Kings have extended a qualifying offer to forward Bogdan Bogdanovic, who earlier this week elected to test restricted free agency, according to James Ham of NBC Sports California. 

Bogdanovic can still speak with other clubs during the RFA process; however, the Kings will be granted a chance to match any competing offer. The 28-year-old averaged 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game last season while shooting 37.2 percent behind the arc. 

Sacramento and the Milwaukee Bucks attempted to complete a sign-and-trade deal for Bogdanovic before Wednesday's NBA draft. The two teams agreed in principal to send Bogdanovic and Justin James to Milwaukee for Donte DiVincenzo, D.J. Wilson and Ersan Ilyasova, according to ESPN

Instead, Bogdanovic scuttled those plans by deciding to test restricted free agency. That gives the Bucks an opportunity to offer a contract to the guard—but so can every other team in the league. 

Milwaukee's hope was to continue surrounding franchise star Giannis Antetokounmpo with elite playmakers and scorers to entice him to sign a five-year supermax extension with the Bucks. If not, Milwaukee risks losing its cornerstone player in free agency next year. 

That much doesn't weigh too heavily on Bogdanovic, who will explore all of his options this offseason before determining where he'll play.

He just won't have much time to think it over. 

NBA training camps are scheduled to open December 1 with the regular season set to begin on December 22.
