NBA Rumors: 4 Teams Have Interest In Bojan Bogdanovic

As the Utah Jazz continue to dismantle their team from top to bottom, the next to go could very well be elite shooter Bojan Bogdanovic. With a lifetime 39% mark from three-point range, he is clearly in demand, with the latest report having four teams targeting the forward.

Phoenix being good does work against them in competing for players as their 1st-round pick(s) are not expected to be as good as others. In the case of Bojan Bogdanovic, the Suns, Lakers, Mavs & Knicks all have interest with draft picks & expiring contracts the key to a deal.

As noted by Phoenix Suns Insider John Gambadoro, the Suns are one of the teams with Bogey on their radar, but they're at a disadvantage as their first-round picks simply aren't worth as much due to their high finishes in the standings. And we all know that first-round picks are pretty much all that Jazz CEO Danny Ainge is looking for in trades these days. 

The Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks are all chasing Bogdanovic as well, and as Gambadoro notes, all have more interesting draft picks and expiring contracts that Ainge would be looking for.  

Bogdanovic is currently tearing it up for Croatia at EuroBasket.
