The Atlanta Hawks parted ways with Bogdan Bogdanović, sending the struggling scorer to the Los Angeles Clippers in what was a salary dump. It was clear the veteran wasn't getting the job done for the Hawks, and the team needed to turn the page. It is far past time to build a new core around Trae Young and hope the results follow. Still, the scorer was an important part of the organization, and prior to this season's struggles, was an important piece of the team. A change of scenery proved to be the needed move with the guard turning the corner after the trade.
All of the veteran's shooting numbers took a leap and helped the Clippers finish the season strong. While the impact and improvement were there for the shooter, it appears the team could still look to find yet another landing spot for Bogdanović. A recent report speculated the team could look to pair the contract with another to help make a big offseason move. While the team's stars are expected to return, the rest of the roster could be in for a shakeup.
Bogdan Bogdanović Could be on the Move Yet Again in the 2025 NBA Offseason
Bogdanović can still contribute to a winning team if given the right situation. While the shooter is incredibly streaky, there is value in having his scoring ability on the bench. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the team have a long list of potential suitors in the 2025 offseason.
Clearly, the Hawks are in no position for a reunion after just dumping the salary in an effort to rebuild. However, there is no ill will for the franchise that will continue to cheer for the talented shooter anytime he isn't facing their Hawks. With this in mind, Hawks fans will keep a close eye on the situation and watch where the veteran will land.
The former Hawk was a pivotal piece to the team's 2021 run to the Eastern Conference Finals and helped establish Atlanta's outside shooting. Along with far too many moments to name, the shooter etched his name in recent franchise history and will remain beloved no matter where he lands in the 2025 offseason.
