Suns open contract negotiations with Bogdanovic

Now that Bogdan Bogdangovic added a Turkish League championship Monday to his accomplished young résumé, the Suns will enter contract negotiations in hopes of bringing their 2014 first-round pick to Phoenix with plenty of motivation.

Bogdanovic's accomplishments in winning the 2014 and 2015 Euroleague Rising Star, helping Sebia to earn the 2014 World Cup silver medal and leading Fenerbahce to be 2016 Euroleague runner-up, Turkish Cup champions and Turkish League champions offer enough motivation to sign the 23-year-old, 6-foot-6 guard for next season.

There is financial motivation as well. This is the last year that Bodganovic would be required to sign on the NBA rookie scale as the Suns' No.
