Dejean Bodiroga, a Serbian star the Kings have held the NBA rights to for something like a decade, has retired. (Via HoopsHype.)

I don't think there was ever a moment in the past 10 years when anyone in the Kings front office actually thought Bodiroga would come to Sacramento. Maybe signing Vlade Divac and drafting Peja Stojakovic was part of courtship, who knows. But Bodiroga maintained throughout he was perfectly happy being Europe's Jordan… in Europe.
