Bojan Bogdanovic is expected to be next in line to be traded by the Utah Jazz as the club has entered rebuilding mode and trying to acquire as many future assets and draft picks as possible. One of the teams that may emerge as a potential suitor for the Croatian forward is the Phoenix Suns.
“It would not surprise me if the Suns got involved in negotiations for Bojan Bogdanovic from the Utah Jazz who is available on the open market right now, several teams are bidding for him,” ESPN insider Brian Windhorst said. So far in the 2022 offseason, the Jazz have already traded Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert among others.

Bogdanovic, 33, comes off one his the most productive years of his NBA career, averaging 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 39 percent from the 3-point line. He’s also been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, who are looking to once again make a run for the title after being eliminated from playoff contention last season.
The Suns, like the Lakers, are looking to build the strongest possible squad and Bogdanovic’s offensive threat and experience can come in handy.
“So, from a front office perspective from the folks I’m talking to, the Suns are operating like a championship contender looking to improve their team heading into camp,” Windhorst said.
