The Atlanta Hawks’ forward and guard Bogdan Bogdanovic is set to be acquired by the Lakers this summer. The Lakers have already signed a lot of players this summer and have consolidated their roster’s depth. But when it comes to the important games, only a few get the game time.
The Lakers had expected better from the team last season, but Vanderbilt and Bamba fell out, and they suffered. They can be happy without making any changes, they will be the team to look out for, but will they try to fix some issues? It looks like they want to, and Bogdan is their target. Can they get him? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Atlanta Hawks and the Los Angeles Lakers involving Bogdan Bogdanovic.
What would the Lakers offer for Bogdan Bogdanovic?
The Lakers have enough players that even if they trade a few, it will not make a lot of difference to their performance. They are expected to offer Gabe Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Taurean Prince in exchange for Bogdan Bogdanovic. Players can easily get comfortable and perform when they play with LeBron, but LeBron is at his best when he is surrounded by good shooters. He is yet to get one of those. Can Bogdan do it for them?

Why would the Hawks trade-off Bogdan Bogdanovic?
The Hawks are getting Vincent and Prince, who are solid 3 and D players. Vanderbilt is a versatile player and can play in many positions. His passing and defending skills would come handy, but he struggles at shooting and that might be a major concern. The Hawks get financial stability with this deal as well. Bogdan earns a lot, whereas the other three would occupy less salary cap space.
