The 2020 NBA free agency period officially opens at 3 p.m. PT. The Sacramento Kings have been at the forefront of the news after the Bogdan Bogdanovic trade with the Milwaukee Bucks fell through.
But, Bogi didn’t have to wait long to find another pair of suitors. The Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers are expected to make a run at the restricted free agent.
The other Kings players who will hit the open market are Kent Bazemore, Alex Len, Corey Brewer and big man Harry Giles.
General manager Monte McNair will be busy the next few days as he tries to fill out the roster for the 2020-21 NBA season. McNair hit a home run with his first draft pick at the helm, nabbing the highly-regarded Tyrese Haliburton 12th overall.
We’ll be tracking every rumor and signing here throughout the day and the weekend, and pinning this post to the top of the site for easy access.
