Final Thoughts
The decision to trade Bogdanovic will rest on two unknown factors: whether the Kings can fight their way back into playoff position and whether or not they are blown away by an offer.
Vlade Divac and the Kings front office should sit on Bogdanovic at least until the trade deadline and see if the team can pull back into playoff contention. Sacramento has a handful of winnable games between now and the trade deadline, and are currently just two games out of the 8th and final playoff spot.
We’ve seen teams that are in playoff contention be sellers at the deadline. Just a few days ago, a rumor that the Thunder, who are in 7th place, had a handful of players available. But the Sacramento Kings are different. They haven’t had a rich recent history of deep playoff runs and MVPs gracing their roster. A simple playoff berth would mean more to fan moral and team-building than it would for any other team in the NBA, which is why the Kings’ front office owes it to themselves to be patient with their current decisions.
But there might be an offer than comes across the table that blows Sacramento away. There could be deal including veteran playmaking attached to a draft pick that the Kings just can’t turn down.

There will be plenty of points that are discussed in the coming weeks when it comes to Bogdan Bogdanovic and his trade situation. Hopefully, the Sacramento Kings front office can make the correct decision.
