The Atlanta Hawks aren't done with their wheeling and dealing in free agency thus far. They have also submitted an offer sheet for Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic reportedly tagged at a four-year, $72 million deal, per The Athletic‘s Chris Kirschner.
Bogdanovic has reportedly already signed the offer sheet, giving the Kings 48 hours to match. More details here:
Bogdan Bogdanovic has signed his four-year offer sheet worth $72 million from the Atlanta Hawks, league sources say
The deal, I'm told, includes a player option in Year 4 and 15-percent trade kicker for the restricted free agent

The max trade kicker in the Bogdanovic offer sheet, I'm told, is structured so the team that deals him away must pay it
The Hawks have taken every measure possible to add Bogdanovic to a signing spree that already features Danilo Gallinari, Rajon Rondo and Kris Dunn to Atlanta

The 28-year-old Bogdan Bogdanovic has become one of the most sought-after names in this year's free agency. He was previously involved in a supposed sign-and-trade deal with the Milwaukee Bucks which eventually encountered roadblocks and ultimately fell apart in recent days. He remains to be a restricted free agent with the Kings being able to match any offer that the other teams will be putting on the table.
Bogdan Bogdanovic is coming off the best statistical season of his young NBA career with norms of 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in 61 games. He was also eased into a bigger role for the Kings in his third campaign in the league and tallied career-high outputs of 1.0 steals and 0.2 blocks in 29.0 minutes per game.
The Hawks have been busy as of late with their efforts to surround lead guard and first-time All-Star Trae Young with more help heading into next season. The Atlanta-based squad recently acquired notable names in veteran Rajon Rondo from the Los Angeles Lakers, Kris Dunn from the Chicago Bulls, and Danilo Gallinari from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
They are hopeful that their young core playing alongside a handful of tenured veterans would help them garner a better outing after struggling with a 20-47 record to nab 14th place in the Eastern Conference last season.
