Report: Bogdan Bogdanovic signs four-year, $72 million offer sheet with Atlanta Hawks image

The Sacramento Kings are on the clock.

According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, Bogdan Bogdanovic has signed a four-year, $72 million offer sheet with the Atlanta Hawks.

With Bogdanovic being a restricted free agent this offseason, the Kings now have 48 hours to match the offer sheet. If they don't, Bogdanovic will join the Hawks.

The No. 27 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Bogdanovic is coming off of a season in which he averaged 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game on .440/.372/.741 shooting splits. NBA.com's Carlan Gay had Bogdanovic ranked as the fourth-best shooting guard in this free agent class, while I had him as the eighth-best player overall.

It's already been an interesting offseason for Bogdanovic. On Nov. 17, it was reported that he was heading to the Milwaukee Bucks in a sign-and-trade. However, The Athletic's Sam Amick reported the next day that the trade was in peril because there "was never an agreement" from Bogdanovic to join the Bucks, leading to the Bucks moving on from him and Bogdanovic testing the market as a restricted free agent.

The Hawks have already reportedly come to terms with Danilo Gallinari, Rajon Rondo and Kris Dunn this offseason.
