10:40pm: The Kings have officially announced the swap (via Twitter).
7:24pm: The Suns and Kings have agreed to a trade that will send the No. 8 pick to Phoenix, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical (via Twitter). According to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com (Twitter link), the pick will be Washington power forward Marquese Chriss.
In return, Sacramento will receive Bogdan Bogdanovic and the Suns’ pick at No. 13, according to Shams Charania of The Vertical (Twitter link). Phoenix’s pick at No. 28 will also be included, along with a second-rounder in 2020, tweets John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7. That second-round pick originally belonged to the Pistons (Twitter link).
Earlier today, Bogdanovic decided to remain in Turkey for another season before joining the NBA. That decision gives him the freedom to negotiate a salary in 2017, rather than being bound by a rookie contract, which would have happened if he had signed during this offseason.
When Hoops rumors has the news b4 the actual live draft does….
Yeah haha
Suns be like fudge u bogdan u wanna stay overseas we gonna trade your ass
great isnt it?
Kings could’ve got Bledsoe or Knight……
good trade actually for both teams
Still not approved yet
Trade has still not been approves
I dont know what is funnier, the Kings trading down for Bogdanovic or the Sun’s drafting 2 power forwards in the Top 10
One could become the center
What about them taking another big. Because obviously Boogie Cousins, Koufos, and Cauley-Stein isn’t enough.
I love how the NBA can trade picks 5 years in advance.
Chriss and Bender??
Dreams coming true in Phoenix/
Brilliant move for them.
Just love what the Suns did. Playing the odds at least one of these guys is going to be a star (hopefully both)
Think the Kings actually wanted Papagansis (I most definitely misspelled his last name) or did we do them dirty by selecting him for them?
They’ve got a star in Cousins and the number six pick from last years draft , I believe, in Willy Cauley Stein.
Kings most likely wanted him. Since the trades during the draft aren’t approved at the time, teams could theoretically back out at any time. If the Suns drafted a guy that the Kings didn’t want, I’m sure the Kings would’ve backed out.
