I think people have him confused with Bojan. These are his first 3 years in the league. He's 28....there is no bigger "upside". This is who he is.  I'll go on record now and say this was not a good idea. We overpaid with other options on the table.

And because they were able to use the room exception for Dunn and preserve their cap space, they had enough money to offer Sacramento guard Bogdan Bogdanovic a four-year, $72 million offer sheet. The Kings have 48 hours to match and keep Bogdanovic, but sources are led to believe they will not match and that Bogdanovic will join the Hawks on Tuesday.

Depth has been an issue for the Hawks in the two years Lloyd Pierce has coached the team. Now, he has options at every position on the roster. Here’s a look at what the depth chart could look like on opening night:

Potential Hawks depth chart

	POIN GUARD	SHOOTING GUARD	SMALL FORWARD	POWER FORWARD	CENTER
Starter	Trae Young	Bogdan Bogdanovic	Cam Reddish	John Collins	Clint Capela
Bench	Rajon Rondo	Kevin Huerter	De'Andre Hunter	Danilo Gallinari	Onyeka Okongwu
Bench	Brandon Goodwin	Kris Dunn	Tony Snell		Bruno Fernando
Bench		Skylar Mays			Nathan Knight (two-way)

That's hella depth and versatility.  Travis did yeoman's work.  I think the third PF will be Skal.

Why the Hawks want Bogdanovic

Chris Kirschner, Hawks beat writer: The Hawks needed to add a proven secondary playmaker and shooter to pair with Trae Young in the backcourt this offseason. They needed to find a long-term option to pair Young with, and they believe Bogdanovic is that player. Bogdanovic shot 37 percent from 3 this past season but more importantly, him being on the floor with Young would alleviate some of the pressure that their star point guard has felt in his first two seasons. This is a major move and a signal to Young that they're ready to win.

Bogi defense is decent and he has a 6'10 wingspan. He's not Kevin on that end. 

6'11

I don't care if all of these guys are a perfect fit or not, we are doing the right thing by accumulating talent.  We had to sign people before paying JC and Trae.  

Now we can adjust with trades in the coming years.  Affordable short contracts, young players, and picks can get us another star player.  Plus a superstar would want to come here when we show we can win.   

A lot to look forward to.  

This was mentioned elsewhere. If this ends up happening a lot of fans are envious over all the players/assets in Atlanta now. One person talked about a disgruntled star that likes what he sees in Atlanta may approve Atl as a trade destination.

Adding Capela, Gallinari, Bogdan, and Rondo would be huge for Atlanta's rep in the league.

Same, but if not, I've gone scouting:

Would Sac match right away if that was what they were going to do? Unless they are trying to trade Buddy or something.

I think the new management likes Buddy though.  At least, I read reports about them liking him.

All of this and the fact that every contract is for a great value and tradeable if it comes down to that. Price and length of them are easy to move if we want to go after someone in the future.

The norm is to wait all 48 hours regardless.

This! Why I love this move. He's played SF his whole career despite really being a SG but ALWAYS held more than his own on defense. 

He's going to bring so much more spacing for Trae sheerly on his aggressiveness on shooting 3s. People are looking at his 3 point percentage but don't see his aggressiveness of shooting that shot. Almost 60% of his shots are 3s. Like 7 or 8 a game.  Well defended or not, he can get his shots off due to his quick high release and really is good uncontested. This puts a ton of pressure on the player guarding him to NOT help on traps. Didn't get a lot of uncontested 3s because the Kings spacing is so ass.  Will get so many more spot ups here because Trae commands so much attention. 

It's literally the perfect fit. Not only that, he can give you good mins at the 1 and at the 3. 

Agree 100%, I love this move even if thecampster is down on it.  I gneuinely don't think the deal is overpriced given what we've seen other guys go for.  My favorite thing about him is he lets it rip from behind the arc, no hesitation.  Like you said, defenses have to respect that which really opens things up.

What about the other 10 plugged in reporters that are saying the Kings are not likely to match? 

Can you provide some links? I have looked and dont see anything.

Exactly.  You have to have assets, an upwards trajectory, and an existing star to get the next piece to the puzzle via trade.
 

Someone will want to come play with Trae and company.

I think if there’s no Hield deal by Tuesday, they won’t match Bogi. I could see them electing to keep that cap space and instead use it to absorb bad contracts to get additional picks in future drafts

Let's be real.  We could have gotten the product that BB is going to give for far less than 4 and 72. 

I think we jumped out there on BB because we felt that he would be like the other BB and we saw how other teams were willing to go after him.  Nothing about him... thus far suggests to me that he's about to break out. 

Next time, I will compare him to Baze.

I don't think there was any other quality wing available, he is a starter in 2/3 of the teams.
