Bucks Trade In Jeopardy: Bogi Didn’t Agree Go to the Bucks
- Thread starter captain bill
- Start date
This makes sense to me. Also explains why the Kings FO didn't claim the deal was done. The Bucks overpaid for Holiday and neither the Kings or Bogi had to be happy with the changes to the deal.
Given that the Bucks have no real sweeteners left and are limited in what they can offer Bogdanovic contractually there's really no reason not to look for other S&T opportunities.
But should Bogi sign a big offer sheet elsewhere both the Bucks and the Kings will miss out.

Yeah, and DiVincenzo's value to the Kings dropped some with the Haliburton and Ramsey picks.
But he's still a useful piece and Ilyasova is essentially an ending contract with next year's salary unguaranteed.
He, Wilson, Bjelica, Parker, Joseph (who's deal is only partially guaranteed for 2021-2022) all represent contracts that could be dealt to other teams to absorb their bad deals for assets as OKC has been doing.
Bogi walking for nothing just represents a bit of caproom which isn't all that useful in Sacramento.

I still really hope the trade goes through unless there is a much better offer out there. I still expect Buddy to be traded at some point and I want Haliburton on the court with Fox. If Fox and Hali b are the eventual starters, ddv and Ramsey could be a nice rotation. Trade cojo at the deadline for a pick and draft a young pg next year.
I think Buddy will get moved but right now teams are looking to get a bargain deal on a disgruntled player. McNair likely wants to see him build up his value a bit more. And it's not like Hield has any leverage. He's just starting a 4 year extension.
It's in everyone's best interest for him to have a great season. Or at least start to the season. We'll see.

I also think, in addition to potentially pooling their expiring contracts for a veteran, having Ilyasova step in as a stretch big allows McNair to find a trade partner for Bjelica without sacrificing much on the court. They are more less duplicative talents who are unlikely to be here beyond next season and I think Bjelica has more trade value so it would make sense to shop him now and see if we can get a young player or a draft pick in return.

If the Bucks aren't getting Bogdanovic, they won't have to do that insane hard cap dance they were set to do. Bucks now $17.6M below the tax and $20M below the hard cap. Using the $9.3M MLE would also hard cap them, but without Bogdanovic they have the flexibility to use it.
