The Atlanta Hawks are reportedly exploring trade scenarios involving veteran wing Bogdan Bogdanovic, according to sources referenced by NBA insider Marc Stein.
The decision to gauge interest in Bogdanovic comes amid a disappointing season for the Serbian sharpshooter, who has struggled to find his rhythm on offense.
He is currently posting career-low shooting numbers, hitting just 37.1 percent of his attempts from the field and 30.1 percent from beyond the arc – well below his career averages.
In contrast, during the previous season, the player was a more reliable contributor, knocking down 37.4 percent of his 8.1 three-point attempts per game.
Throughout his NBA career, he has maintained a solid 38.0 percent efficiency from deep, earning a reputation as a capable perimeter threat who can help space the floor for his team.
Despite this year’s shooting struggles, Bogdanovic continues to draw interest from several teams seeking to bolster their offensive firepower and perimeter shooting capabilities.
His experience and proven ability to score in critical moments make him an appealing trade target for contending teams.
However, any potential trade for Bogdanovic comes with financial considerations. The 32-year-old is under contract with a guaranteed $16 million for the 2025-26 season, followed by a $16 million team option for 2026-27.
Teams exploring a deal would need to carefully assess both his performance trajectory and his contract’s long-term implications.
Bogdanovic is represented by agent Jason Ranne, who will likely play a key role in navigating any discussions or negotiations with interested franchisees.
As the trade deadline approaches, the Hawks appear to be weighing significant roster moves to recalibrate and address the challenges of an underperforming season.
The organization’s willingness to part with a player of Bogdanovic’s caliber signals a potential shift in their strategic approach, with the front office perhaps seeking more flexibility or different types of contributors to support star guards Trae Young and Dejounte Murray.
Whether Bogdanovic ultimately finds himself with a new team remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the Hawks are open to making changes in pursuit of greater success.
