Could Bogdan Bogdanovic Join Nikola Jokic on the Nuggets?
Bogdan Bogdanovic might join the Denver Nuggets if Kentavious Caldwell-Pope departs and the Nuggets present a trade offer below the second salary cap apron, potentially including a young prospect and a future first-round pick.
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic and Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic were recently seen together at a horse race in Sombor, Serbia, fueling rumors about Bogdanovic possibly moving to Denver.
Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports explored this scenario, noting that the Nuggets could pursue Bogdanovic, who has three years remaining on his contract with a team option for the final year, if they fall below the second salary cap apron after Caldwell-Pope’s potential exit. The proposed package might involve salary, a young prospect, and a future first-round pick.
A trade could also mean losing Michael Porter Jr. or Reggie Jackson, but the Nuggets might consider this worthwhile.
Jokic and Bogdanovic are set to play together in the Paris Olympics this summer, adding to the buzz about their potential collaboration.
Last season, Bogdanovic averaged 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 79 games for the Hawks. Jokic, meanwhile, secured his third NBA MVP award in four seasons, with averages of 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game during the regular season.
