Serbia has found a recipe for success by surrounding their playmaking superstar with shooters, allowing him to draw double teams and kick the ball out to the open man.</p><p>While an Olympic gold medal still eludes Serbia, they’ve still had an incredible dominant stretch capped off by an impressive showing in Paris. They made their country proud, and deserve to celebrate their accomplishments even though they came up just short of the ultimate prize.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was ready with the same meeting we did the whole year,” Bogdanovic said of head coach Svetislav Pesic, after the team beat Germany for the bronze medal. “It was his way. We believed, we didn’t complain.”</p><p>The shooting guard says the head coach was able to keep the team in line, despite a very disappointing close loss to Team USA. Team USA stormed back from a halftime deficit to knock Serbia out of a chance to win the gold medal.</p><p>“We play together, we win together. We lose together,” Bogdanovic added.</p><h2>Serbia made a lot of noise in the Olympics</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/08-08-24-jokic-image.jpeg"><figcaption>© Rob Schumacher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Serbia made a great run in the Olympics in Paris. The team was led by NBA champion Nikola Jokic, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nikola-jokic-triple-double-bronze-medal-germany-fans-freaking-out">who posted a triple-double</a> in the team’s final game against Germany. Jokic finished the Olympics with a stat line of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in the Bronze medal matchup.</p><p>Bogdanovic also made waves with his play. He hit a ton of shots for Serbia in their close 95-91 loss to Team USA. Bogdanovic also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/olympics-news-devin-booker-calls-out-bogdan-bogdanovic-carmelo-anthony-celebration">seemed to be poking fun</a> at Carmelo Anthony during the game. With Anthony sitting in the stands, Bogdanovic made a gesture with his hands toward his head. It was similar to a gesture Anthony used to make in the NBA when he played. Anthony seemed to take notice, as cameras panned over to him. He looked annoyed at times. Some members of Team USA including Devin Booker thought the Serbian player was being rude to Anthony.</p><p>The incident got a lot of attention in the press. Bogdanovic will probably hear a lot more about his behavior, when he returns to the NBA this coming season. The shooting guard plays for the Atlanta Hawks. He is now a member of two Serbian teams to win Olympic medals. In 2016, the shooting guard helped his home country take silver in Rio.</p><p>Serbia has produced several great NBA players over the years. Jokic and Bogdanovic are just two of the country’s players currently playing in the league. Others who have been NBA stars include the retired big man Vlade Divac, and the talented guard Peja Stojakovic.</p><p>Team USA plays France for the gold medal in men’s basketball on Saturday. The tip off is at 3:30 Eastern. The Olympics end on Sunday, with the United States leading the total medal count.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic helped lead Serbia in the loss to Team USA in the Men’s Basketball semifinals of the Paris Olympics. In 31 minutes of action, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/olympics-news-bogdan-bogdanovic-refs-loss-team-usa">Bogdanovic had</a> 20 points on 8-of-18 shooting, leading Serbia in scoring.</p><p>However, in the first half, Bogdanovic was feeling himself. After draining a three, the sharpshooter turned to the sideline and stared down Carmelo Anthony, an American legend in attendance for the Paris Games.</p><p>Not only did he do that, but Bogdanovic even stole the former New York Knicks star’s “three to the dome” celebration as Serbia’s lead kept ballooning – drawing the ire of Team USA fans and players.</p><p>But after Bogdanovic and Serbia blew a double-digit lead, Team USA and Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1821898077675925718" rel="noopener">called out</a> Bogdanovic.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Devin Booker posted this on his IG story after Bogdan Bogdanovic kept hitting Carmelo Anthony’s celebration 😅</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/DevinBook?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DevinBook</a> / IG) <a href="https://t.co/Tft92POsfn">pic.twitter.com/Tft92POsfn</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1821898077675925718?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 9, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>While it’s doubtful that Bogdanovic was disrespecting Anthony, Booker is still keeping it real. Carmelo Anthony is one of the greatest Olympic players in Team USA’s history. So in Devin Booker’s eyes, if you swing at the true king on the sidelines, you better be ready to back it up.</p><h2><b>Will Devin Booker and Team USA go for gold in the 2024 Olympics?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Booker-Handles-Team-USA-Serbia.jpg"><figcaption>Rob Schumacher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>After coming back and defeating Serbia, Team USA has the chance to win its fifth-straight gold medal. Now comes another challenge: Host nation France, fresh off a win over Germany with a raucous home crowd at its back. It’s a rematch of the Tokyo final with everything on the line and some of the biggest stars in the sport.</p><p>While Serbia was Team USA’s biggest test during the 2024 Olympics, facing France was on an entirely different level. This will be the fourth-straight Games at which the U.S. and France have played, the most recent matchup being the gold-medal game in Tokyo. Team USA is 6-1 in seven meetings with France’s one win coming in the opener of group play back in 2020.</p><p>On paper, the U.S. boasts significantly better scorers and passers than France. The French team has struggled to shoot the basketball throughout the Olympics and lacks natural playmakers for a more dynamic roster. Team USA has a steady supply of those two things and could give the Americans an edge in the gold-medal finale.</p><p>However, France is a better group defensively, so Team USA will have to be physical down low against Victor Wembanyama and force Les Bleus into more perimeter shots with effective closeouts. The formula is there for the Americans to win gold as long as it doesn’t follow the pattern of the Serbia semifinal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic has of course <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/olympics-news-nikola-jokic-ends-drought">been the focal point for Serbia’s offense</a>, Bogdanovic has stepped up and been a worthy second option. He’s averaging 18.8 points per game during this Olympic tournament, tied for fifth-best with his teammate Jokic.</p><p>Bogdanovic and Serbia will still have an opportunity to compete for a medal despite their disappointing result against Team USA.

He joined ClutchPoints in 2023.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>On Monday evening, Bogdan Bogdanovic and the Atlanta Hawks picked up their fifth win in six games with a resounding road victory over the Chicago Bulls, the team they will more than likely face in the NBA Play-In game later on this season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bogdan-bogdanovic-net-worth">Bogdanovic made several</a> highlight plays throughout the evening, including nailing one triple from near halfcourt toward the end of the shot clock in the third quarter, and although the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-biggest-mistake-2024-nba-trade-deadline">Hawks weren’t quite able</a> to pass Chicago in the standings yet, they are now just a half game back of the Bulls, with a game vs the NBA-worst Detroit Pistons looming on Wednesday evening at State Farm Arena.</p><p>Still, the win did not occur without controversy. With just a few minutes left in the game, Chicago broadcast cameras caught Bogdanovic appear to get into a heated argument with Hawks head coach Quin Snyder during a timeout and tossing a water bottle to the side, which resulted in a slight delay as United Center crews tried to clean the spillage.</p><p>After the game, while Snyder <a href="https://twitter.com/HawksOnBally/status/1774990936105210247" rel="noopener">didn’t directly reference</a> the altercation, he did address his relationship with Bogdanovic and made it clear that there are no issues on that front.</p><p>“Bogi was terrific. And he and I are in a great place. Better than good. Great,” said Snyder at his post game press conference, per Bally Sports: Hawks on X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter.</p><p>Cameras also showed Bogdanovic and Snyder appearing to shake hands just a few moments after the argument, which was made all the more bizarre by the fact that Atlanta was leading by double digits and essentially had the game in hand at the time the argument took place.</p><h2>A turbulent season for the Hawks</h2><p>Not much has gone right for the Hawks this season. While Trae Young and Dejounte Murray have both put up solid individual stats, their lack of chemistry in the backcourt has become increasingly difficult to ignore, leading to rampant speculation that at least one, if not both of them, will be traded away this coming offseason, barring an unthinkable deep playoff run beginning in a few weeks.</p><p>Bogdanovic has also enjoyed by far the best season of his career and would be the likely favorite for the Sixth Man of the Year award if his team wasn’t so far down in the standings. Unfortunately, Bogdanovic is one of a plethora of players on the Hawks roster who profile as below average, if not downright terrible, on the defensive side of the ball, which is the main reason that Atlanta is currently in tenth place in the league’s weaker conference.</p><p>As previously noted, Atlanta has heated up a bit in recent weeks, ironically occurring after Young was lost due to a finger injury for an unclear amount of time. With just two weeks to go until the Play-In round, it would be virtually impossible for the Hawks to get any higher than ninth in the Eastern Conference before the regular season concludes.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Let’s take a closer look at Bogdan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2024.</p><h2><b>What is Bogdan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2024?: $30 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/bogdan-bogdanovics-net-worth-in-2024-2_.webp"></figure><p><a href="https://caknowledge.com/bogdan-bogdanovic-net-worth/" rel="noopener">Bogdan Bogdanovic’s net worth</a> in 2024 is $30 million. This is according to multiple outlets, including CAknowledge.</p><p>Bogdan Bogdanovic was born on Aug. 18, 1992, in Belgrade, Serbia. As early as a teenager, Bogdanovic was already playing professional basketball.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic’s early basketball career in Europe with KK Partizan</b></h2><p>As an 18-year-old, Bogdanovic <a href="https://www.b92.net/sport/kosarka/vesti.php?yyyy=2010&amp;mm=09&amp;dd=17&amp;nav_id=459524" rel="noopener">signed</a> his first contract with KK Partizan. However, details of the long-term deal weren’t disclosed. In his first professional season, Bogdanovic averaged 5.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 30 percent from the field.</p><p>A season later, Bogdanovic was more adjusted to the professional style of play. He improved his numbers to 14.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while making 37 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.</p><p>In the ensuing years with KK Partizan, Bogdanovic garnered four Serbian League Championships, two Serbian Cups, two ABA League titles, and 2014 Serbian League Playoffs MVP.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic joins Fenerbahce</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="lv">CHAMPIONSSS!!!!! 🏆😘🏆<br>ŠAMPIONIII!!!!! 🏆😘🏆 <a href="https://t.co/6yCuwiX8sU">pic.twitter.com/6yCuwiX8sU</a></p><p>— Bogdan Bogdanovic (@LeaderOfHorde) <a href="https://twitter.com/LeaderOfHorde/status/866619869155950592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 22, 2017</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In the 2014 NBA Draft, Bogdanovic was selected in the first round with the 27th overall pick by the Phoenix Suns. However, the Serbian standout opted not to join the NBA and decided to join Turkish ball club Fenerbahce. Bogdanovic inked a four-year deal worth EUR 3.5 million or around $3.8 million, as per <a href="https://sportske.net/vest/kosarka/bogdanovic-otisao-na-potpisivanje-ugovora-sa-fenerom-186531" rel="noopener">reports</a>.</p><p>Bogdanovic would go on to play for three seasons for Fenerbahce.

During the 2016 NBA Draft, his rights were traded to the Sacramento Kings. In 2017, Bogdanovic finally made his entry into the NBA after <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2718592-bogdan-bogdanovic-kings-reportedly-agree-on-3-year-36-million-contract" rel="noopener">inking</a> a three-year contract that pays $36 million.</p><p>In his rookie season, Bogdanovic averaged 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. For his efforts, Bogdanovic was named to the All-Rookie Second Team.</p><p>For two more seasons, Bogdanovic continued to thrive in the Kings’ rotation as a sparkplug off the bench. In three seasons with the Kings, Bogdanovic knocked down 37 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic signs with the Hawks</b></h2><p>Just before the 2020-21 season, although the Kings decided to extend qualifying offer on Bogdanovic, the organization opted not to match the Atlanta Hawks’ offer. As a result, the decorated Euroleague star decided to sign a lucrative four-year contract worth $72 million with the Hawks.</p><p>In his first season with the Hawks, Bogdanovic registered 16.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, while shooting a career-best 44 percent from downtown. Despite mostly coming off the bench, Bogdanovic has found a way to be productive. For the next two seasons, he tallied 15.1 points and 14.0 points per game for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, respectively.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic signs contract extension with the Hawks</b></h2><p>After a string of productive seasons with Atlanta, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-bogdan-bogdanovic-inks-68-million-extension" rel="noopener">Bogdanovic signed a contract extension</a>.

The Hawks’ wing is averaging 16.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game, while shooting 37 percent from deep.</p><p>In a December 2023 game loss to the Denver Nuggets, Bogdanovic exploded for 40 points, spiked by 10 3-pointers off the bench. According to <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/nuggets/news/unexpected-player-makes-nba-history-in-nuggets-vs-hawks-game" rel="noopener">sources</a>, the Hawks forward is only the second NBA player in history to achieve the feat.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic representing Serbia internationally</b></h2><p>Aside from showcasing his wares in the NBA, Bogdanovic is also a fixture in Serbia’s men’s national basketball teams. In fact, he has won silver medals in several tournaments, including the U19 World Championships, 2017 EuroBasket, 2016 Olympic Games, the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and the 2023 FIBA World Cup.</p><p>According to sources, the prize money for national teams participating in the 2023 FIBA World Cup is EUR 50,000 or around $54,500. On the other hand, teams that made it to the Top 16 received an additional EUR 100,000 or around $109,000.</p><p>In the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Bogdanovic helped Serbia advance all the way to the gold-medal game before falling to Germany.

The Atlanta Hawks are 20-27 and could be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-latest-hawks-trade-deadline-update-amid-dejounte-murray-reports" rel="noopener">sellers at the deadline</a>. Atlanta has named Trae Young and Jalen Johnson as the only untouchables on the roster.</p><p>Bogdanovic is a good scorer who teams could be interested in. The 31-year-old guard is averaging 17.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game and is shooting 43.2 percent from the field and 37 percent from three.</p><p>Bogdanovic is in the first year of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-bogdan-bogdanovic-inks-68-million-extension" rel="noopener">four-year $68 million deal</a>. Atlanta is 22-27 and in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks are winners of four straight but still could be sellers at the trade deadline, although some intel states that they might <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-hawks-bogdan-bogdanovic-dejounte-murray-trade-deadline-talks" rel="noopener">not want to move Bogdanovic</a>.</p><p>With that said, here are the best Bogdan Bogdanovic trade destinations if the Hawks move him at the deadline.</p><h2><b>Philadelphia 76ers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/nba-rumors-hawks-want-to-keep-bogdan-bogdanovic-amid-dejounte-murray-trade-deadline-talks.webp"></figure><p>The Philadelphia 76ers took a major injury blow this week as Joel Embiid suffered a meniscus injury. Embiid will be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-joel-embiid-updated-timeline-after-suffering-knee-injury" rel="noopener">out long-term,</a> but Philadelphia is 30-18 and could still make it to the postseason.</p><p>Bogdanovic is a target who could <a href="https://sixerswire.usatoday.com/lists/fake-trade-for-sixers-to-acquire-bogdan-bogdanovic-from-hawks/">make sense for the 76ers</a>. His scoring would help them significantly as a scoring punch off the bench. The Sixers have the contracts to make a deal happen, as Robert Covington, Nicholas Batum, and Marcus Morris are all on sizeable deals.</p><p>Philadelphia also has a good stock of draft capital from the James Harden trade earlier this season. While Embiid is out for a while, Tyrese Maxey and the Sixers could still be competitive and make it to the playoffs. Bogdanovic could be a great role player to add, as he would be a spark plug scorer and a solid shooter. With his four-year deal, Bogdanovic could help Philadelphia this season and beyond.</p><h2><b>Cleveland Cavaliers</b></h2><p>The Cleveland Cavaliers are on a five-game winning streak and have shot up the standings to third place in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland is 31-16 and only one game behind the Milwaukee Bucks for second in the East.</p><p>The Cavs could be a buyer at the trade deadline to emerge as a true contender in the East. Cleveland is reportedly <a href="https://cavaliersnation.com/2024/02/02/report-bogdan-bogdanovic-and-saddiq-bey-linked-to-cavs-with-nba-trade-deadline-days-away/">interested in Bogdanovic</a>, who could provide a spark as the lead guard off the bench. The Cavs have one of the best starting lineups in basketball, with three current or former All-Stars: Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen. They also have Evan Mobley, who was an All-Defensive First-Team player last season. Max Strus has been an impactful role player in his first season with Cleveland, rounding out their starting lineup.</p><p>Bogdanovic could thrive in a 6th man role for this Cavs team. In the playoffs last season, Cleveland had a tough time scoring in their first-round matchup against the New York Knicks. Adding another scorer like Bogdanovic could alleviate pressure off Cleveland’s stars and help them go further in the postseason.</p><h2><b>New York Knicks</b></h2><p>The New York Knicks have already made a trade this season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-og-anunoby-historic-5-game-start-proves-raptors-trade-worth-it" rel="noopener">acquiring OG Anunoby</a> from the Raptors. New York has been elite since the trade and is in fourth place in the East. The Knicks also have the assets to make a move for another difference-maker.</p><p>Bogdanovic would immediately step in as their top scorer off the bench. New York has Evan Fournier’s contract to move and a surplus of draft capital, with six first-round picks over the next two years.</p><p>Bogdan Bogdanovic could be an impactful player for the Knicks to provide more offense around their elite defensive unit.</p><p>Although Bogdanovic would have multiple suitors, Atlanta’s win streak may have them rethinking their trade deadline strategy. If they decide to move him, look for the 76ers, Cavs, and Knicks to be in the mix.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Perhaps the biggest name on the market is Atlanta Hawks guard Dejoutnte Murray, who has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-lakers-dejounte-murray-trade-suitor" rel="noopener">continuously linked to teams</a> such as the Los Angeles Lakers. Another Hawks player whose name is floating around is Bogdan Bogdanovic. However, the <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-trade-deadline-rumors-knicks-clippers-jazz-rockets-hawks-nets-wizards/" rel="noopener">latest intel suggests</a> that the Hawks want to keep Bogdanovic in town, per Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype.</p><p>‘Despite the goal of trimming future salary, one player with a sizable contract going forward the Hawks seemingly want to keep past the trade deadline is Bogdan Bogdanovic, according to rival executives and league sources who’ve spoken with HoopsHype.’</p><p>With Murray being the center of attention for the Hawks, Bogdanovic is another intriguing player, but Scotto suggests that they don’t want to move him.</p><h2>Bogdanovic an option for some teams despite Hawks noninterest</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Bojan-Bogdanovic-Dejounte-Murray-Bogdan-Bogdanovic.webp"></figure><p>There are a lot of questions about the Hawks and what they will do at the deadline. Murray is the main guy, but the Minnesota Timberwolves have been mentioned to have an interest in Bogdanovic, as ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel mentioned in his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-dejounte-murray-bruce-brown-warriors-trade-deadline-rumors-intel" rel="noopener">latest trade deadline intel</a>.</p><p>“Hawks veteran Bogdan Bogdanovic has drawn attention from the Minnesota Timberwolves in recent weeks, sources said. However, Minnesota’s cap situation and Bogdanovic’s contract do not line up well. In attempts to upgrade their roster, the Timberwolves have shown a level of willingness to discuss Kyle Anderson’s future, seeing as he is in the final year of his contract.”</p><p>Bogdanovic has been in Atlanta for four seasons and is averaging 17.1 PPG with a 37 percent mark from three-point land, so he is an appealing option for contending teams. However, as Siegel mentions, the Timberwolves have obstacles making a deal work, and Scotto’s report of the Hawks wanting to keep won’t help, either. If they do move him, there should be a flurry of suitors interested in the shooting guard.</p><p>With each passing day and as things progress closer to February 8, there are more and more rumors flying around. It is only a matter of time before the Hawks engage in a blockbuster deal, whether it is for Murray or not.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the Wolves looking like a true title contender, the idea of buying at the NBA trade deadline appears to be a good one. According to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, Atlanta Hawks veteran Bogdan Bogdanovic has emerged as a player being <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-dejounte-murray-bruce-brown-warriors-trade-deadline-rumors-intel" rel="noopener">linked to the Timberwolves</a>.</p><p>However, executing a deal at the trade deadline might be difficult for Minnesota due to a lack of flexibility. Let’s analyze Bogdanovic’s potential fit in Minnesota, as well as the Timberwolves’ pathway to a potential deal, in order to predict if a trade can actually come to fruition.</p><h2>Bogdan Bogdanovic’s fit with the Timberwolves</h2><p>In his age-31 season, the veteran guard would be a strong addition to an already fantastic Timberwolves roster. The Serbian has spent his NBA career with the Sacramento Kings and is currently the Atlanta Hawks. This season, Bogdanovic has averaged a career-high 17.1 points per game while shooting 43.0 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from three. It is apparent the Timberwolves could use more perimeter shooting. Given Bogdanovic’s abilities to play off the ball in catch-and-shoot situations, he could be a great fit next to Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the rest of this roster.</p><p>The veteran’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-bogdan-bogdanovic-makes-bonkers-franchise-history-with-explosion-vs-nuggets" rel="noopener">quick trigger</a> would do wonders in opening up more driving lanes for the Wolves’ stars, as Bogdanovic is averaging 8.4 attempts from the perimeter per game. As currently constructed, the Timberwolves shoot just 31.5 triples per game as a team. That <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/traditional?dir=A&amp;sort=FG3A" rel="noopener">ranks</a> 27th in the league.</p><p>The Timberwolves’ low-volume shooting from outside has led them to a fantastic 39.1 percent from three as a team, the second-best in the NBA. Nonetheless, the shots Minnesota winds up turning down is a bigger issue. Bogdanovic would likely solve a great deal of that with his willingness to let it fly from deep. Even though the Hawks’ veteran doesn’t play inside the arc a whole lot, he’s more than capable of doing so on occasion. Shooting exactly 52 percent on two-point attempts, his outside-inside game could be a perfect changeup for the Wolves’ current offensive attack.</p><p>Throughout his career, Bogdanovic has always been a reliable decision-maker. Due to this, not only would he benefit Minnesota’s mediocre scoring punch, but he would also help limit their turnovers. For his career, Bogdanovic has flashed a near 2.3 to 1 assist-to-turnover ratio. A constant problem for the Wolves all season would get some much-needed relief if Bogdanovic entered the fold.</p><h2>Timberwolves’ salary cap and trade flexibility</h2><p>Based on Siegel’s report, “Minnesota’s cap situation and Bogdanovic’s contract do not line up well.” The Serbian sharpshooter is making $18.7 million this season, and his contract descends in value the following two years before a team option comes into play for the 2026-27 NBA season. There is no question that this is a worthwhile contract. However, the Wolves face some tough circumstances.</p><p>The first year of Karl-Anthony Towns’ supermax extension kicks in next season. On top of that, Anthony Edwards’ <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-anthony-edwards-5-year-260-million-contract-extension" rel="noopener">rookie max extension</a> significantly increases his annual pay as well. The extension Minnesota recently gave to Edwards also has the possibility of becoming a supermax extension depending on his All-NBA status this season. Not to mention, Jaden McDaniels’ new rookie extension has the Timberwolves between a rock and a hard place.</p><p>The league’s CBA is extremely punitive to teams with high payrolls. North of $170 million, Minnesota projects to be a high-paying team for the 2024-25 season with only eight guaranteed contracts.</p><p>The long-term money owed to Bogdanovic might be a hill too steep for the Wolves to climb financially. Additionally, the Timberwolves are already deficient in first-round draft picks. If Atlanta gets offers of at least one first-round selection for Bogdanovic’s services, Minnesota is likely going to be outbid. Following the Rudy Gobert trade, the Timberwolves’ best deal sweeteners are first-round swaps in 2024, 2028, and 2030, second-round selections, and young unproven talents such as Wendell Moore Jr. and Josh Minott.</p><h2>Predictions on a potential trade</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Hawks-news-Bogdan-Bogdanovic_s-hilarious-blunder-will-leave-Trae-Young-fans-gasping-for-air.jpg"></figure><p> </p><p>If the Timberwolves find a way to acquire Bogdanovic from Atlanta, Kyle Anderson’s expiring $9.2 million salary would have to be attached. Anderson is a very good player and one Chris Finch would hate to lose. Slowmo, as his teammates and peers call him, has been a key piece for the Wolves. Anderson is also extremely undervalued across the fan base for his playmaking and defensive play.</p><p>To make the money work, Shake Milton and Troy Brown Jr. would both likely have to be included as well. Brown Jr. has not played as of late, but his shooting has been key for the Wolves at points this year.</p><p>From there, Atlanta would look to get a young player back as well. Leonard Miller has been fantastic for the Iowa Wolves this season and projects to be an extremely productive NBA player down the road. Josh Minott’s athleticism and length are great traits that his game is predicated on. Given the likely constructs of a deal, the Timberwolves are in a financial spot where trading four players, plus second-round picks, for one bigger contract is likely not the best pathway.</p><p>Already flirting with the luxury tax this season, having to replace players with current free agents and two-way players pushes the Wolves toward being even more expensive both this season and next. The most likely outcome for the Wolves is a smaller trade. A one-for-one or two-for-one deal that brings Minnesota a cheap role player back makes the most sense at this juncture.</p><p>Someone who can fill the role as the ninth player in the nightly rotation on a consistent basis is what the Timberwolves need. Bogdanovic would be an excellent get, but given the circumstances, it’s hard to see Minnesota making a dramatic move with expensive long-term ramifications.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, according to the latest FanDuel Betting Odds for the 2024 NBA championship, the Celtics are the favorite to win it all. Their odds to win the title <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nba?tab=nba-finals" rel="noopener">are currently at +320</a>, which is even better than that of the Denver Nuggets’. But even a stacked team has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-trade-targets-early-in-2023-24-nba-season" rel="noopener">plenty of room for improvement</a>, and with a little over a month to go before the trade deadline, the C’s may very well have another move up their sleeve.</p><p>According to the latest odds from BetOnline’s special props, the Celtics <a href="https://sports.betonline.ag/sportsbook/futures-and-props/nba-specials/specials" rel="noopener">are the favorite</a> to swing a trade for sweet-shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Atlanta Hawks. Their odds to do so are currently at +200.</p><p>Rounding out the top five of likely Bogdanovic trade suitors are the Milwaukee Bucks (+400), Denver Nuggets (+500), Los Angeles Clippers (+500) and Sacramento Kings (+700).</p><p>The Celtics, indeed, could use more battle-tested depth behind their core six. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are solid role players, but the Celtics may shy away from giving them crucial minutes come postseason time. Meanwhile, Bogdan Bogdanovic is a tough-shot maker, a useful secondary ballhandler whom opposing defenses must not forget about every time he’s on the court due to his incredible marksmanship from deep.</p><p>Alas, there’s no way the Celtics can cobble together the salary that’s needed to acquire Bogdanovic from the Hawks. Bogdanovic is making $18.7 million this season; the Celtics will have to include one of their core six players to get a deal done. Given how well they’ve performed this season, there’s no reason for them rock the boat too much.</p><p>Moreover, it’s unlikely for the Hawks to deal away Bogdanovic when they’re trying to put together a quality core around Trae Young. Amid all the trade <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-pascal-siakam-dejounte-murray-donovan-mitchell-nba-trade-market" rel="noopener">rumors swirling around Dejounte Murray</a> and the team’s reported desire to acquire a star power forward, it’s likely that the Hawks elevate the 31-year old sharpshooter to the starting lineup if Murray departs.</p><p>Overall, betting on Bogdanovic’s potential trade to the Celtics is not a wise move given all the reasons listed above.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Conventional wisdom would dictate that it’s Dejounte Murray <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-trae-youngs-reaction-to-dejounte-murrays-41-point-game" rel="noopener">who will seize control</a> of the offense, but against the Nuggets, it was Jokic’s fellow Serbian Bogdan Bogdanovic who played out of his mind.</p><p>Facing a 17-point deficit entering the fourth quarter, Bogdanovic tried to do his part to keep the game within striking distance. Bogdanovic has 13 points in the fourth quarter, including three triples, although he and the Hawks fell short, suffering a 129-122 loss to the Nuggets.</p><p>In the end, however, Bogdan Bogdanovic put up the best game of his NBA career, an admirable effort despite the loss. The Hawks guard finished with a career-high 40 points in 36 minutes of play, and he shot the ball well, making 14 of his 24 shots from the field and nailing 10 of his 17 triples. And in doing so, he <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1734407845867606234" rel="noopener">became the first player</a> in Hawks franchise history to tally 40+ points and 10+ threes in a single game, according to StatMuse.</p><p>There have been plenty of snipers in Hawks history; the likes of Joe Johnson, Kyle Korver, and Steve Smith come to mind. However, none of them made 10 threes in a single game during their time in Atlanta. In fact, there is only <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=hawks+players+10%2B+threes+in+a+game" rel="noopener">one other player</a> in franchise history who has drained 10+ triples, and it’s veteran forward Danilo Gallinari, who did so in February 2021 against the Boston Celtics.</p><p>During that game, however, Gallinari finished with a “mere” 38 points, missing out on the Bogdan Bogdanovic club by a single bucket.</p><p>Nevertheless, while Bogdanovic’s scoring explosion is something to celebrate for Hawks fans, the performance of the team over the past week or so won’t be putting many smiles on their faces.

Did <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-gilbert-arenas-savage-take-team-usa-roster-fiba-world-cup" rel="noopener">USA have enough stars</a> to win it all? Was this Canada’s time to stake its claim as a supreme basketball power. Could Luka Doncic carry scrappy Slovenia to a deep run? Despite boasting some NBA talent, Serbia was under the radar.</p><p>Now, fans have no choice but to acknowledge this team after its upset win versus Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Canada in the semifinals. Serbia’s captain and star player <a href="https://twitter.com/stackmack/status/1700099474952003659?s=46&amp;t=0VgLvCcpTsmLUyl6hpiIew" rel="noopener">explained what it means</a> to punch their ticket to the FIBA World Cup Final, especially with the odds seemingly stacked against them.</p><p>“I’m so tired right now, but I’m so happy as well, that we won tonight against a team that is amazing, leading with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander,” Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic said following the 95-86 victory, via Holly MacKenzie. “We have one guy, Aleksa Avramovic, who was watching {SGA’s} tape for the last two days, highlights, every game. He said ‘trust me, I’m going to steal one ball,’ and I think he stole two, so, props to him.”</p><p>Avramovic studiousness paid off in a major way. He scored 10 points off the bench and did in fact record two swipes off Canada’s juggernaut and face of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gilgeous-Alexander, who has arguably <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/fiba-world-cup-news-shai-gilgeous-alexander-makes-history-with-epic-stat-line-canada-win-over-luka-doncic-slovenia" rel="noopener">been the best player</a> of this global tournament, was limited to 15 points on 4-of-8 shooting. Bogdanovic was the top player on the court on this day.</p><p>The 31-year-old scored a game-high 23 points (tied with RJ Barrett), knocked down three 3-pointers and shot a deadly accurate 8-of-12 from the field to push his country and team ever so close to FIBA supremacy. Serbia will battle fellow <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dirk-nowitzki-germany-upset-team-usa" rel="noopener">semis underdog Germany</a> in the title game on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. ET.</p><p>Judging by Bogdan Bogdanovic’s joy and the diligence of his teammate, expect this overlooked group to play with a visible desperation. The Serbs have come too far to take their foot off the gas now.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
