"We would love to have him here. We have his rights, and this summer we'll talk about it," Divac said, via the Sacramento Bee.
Bogdanović was drafted by the Phoenix Suns in 2014, but his draft rights were traded to Kings in 2016. The guard still has one year remaining on his contract with Fenerbahçe, but ESPN has pointed out that there is a buyout option in his contract worth more than one million dollars.
Well, the Kings will have to wait a little while longer for Bogdanović to make his decision because he doesn't want to talk about his future until after the season.
"I wanted to comment on recent media report regarding me and the Sacramento Kings as I am receiving many questions from fans about my future. It is humbling and an honor for Vlade Divac to speak highly of me as a basketball player, Bogdanović said on Twitter.
"To be clear though, I will not discuss the NBA or make a decision on my future until after my season with Fenerbahce is finished," he continued.
