NBA Free Agency 2019: Report - Bojan Bogdanovic agrees to four-year, $73 million deal with the Utah Jazz image

The Utah Jazz add yet another big piece to their roster this off-season, signing Indiana Pacers swingman Bojan Bogdanovic to a four-year, $73 million deal, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.


The 30-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, averaging 18.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, while shooting 49.7 percent from the field and 42.5 percent from the three-point line, all career highs.

Bogdanovic took his game to a new level in 2018/19 following Victor Oladipo's season-ending knee injury, becoming the team's leading scorer and primary offensive threat. 

He now joins a Jazz team looking to make a big push in the Western Conference following the addition of Mike Conley and with his size and floor-spacing ability, Bogdanovic will slot in nicely alongside the Jazz core of Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Joe Ingles and Rudy Gobert.

Players can negotiate agreements with teams on July 1st but contracts can't be officially signed until the new league year begins on July 7.
