The Sacramento Kings went through a ton of drama at the official start of the NBA offseason. After a potential trade that would have seen Bogdan Bogdanovic shipped to the Milwaukee Bucks fell through, general manager Monte McNair faced a tough decision.
Bogdanovic — who was a restricted free agent — signed a four-year deal worth $72 million with the Atlanta Hawks, and McNair chose not to match the offer. Some questioned the general manager’s decision, but after the Kings picked Tyrese Haliburton 12th overall, McNair decided to prioritize future financial flexibility over keeping the 28-year-old Bogdanovic.
