A talent swap with the Atlanta Hawks for Bogdan Bogdanovic makes all the sense in the world for the Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers would do well to consider Bogdan Bogdanovic

If the Cleveland Cavaliers are serious about a wing defender, they would do well to consider Bogdan Bogdanovic of the Atlanta Hawks, not to be confused with Bojan Bogdanovic of the Detroit Pistons. They’re from the same region of Europe, literally neighbors, but they’re not the same person, nor are they even related.

They’re just both very skilled at basketball with Bogdan being from Serbia, and Bojan being from neighboring country Bosnia and Herzegovina. They’re both skilled at shooting threes, but Bogdan is a better wing defender in a good system.

While Bojan is on a team that’s sinking into oblivion, Bogdan is on the Hawks, a team that’s plenty talented to compete but for some reason can’t seem to figure out how to put it all together. The Hawks are currently 10th in the East and falling fast. They’re 4-6 and are playing with next to no defense. They’re 3rd in the east in points for, but they’re 13th in the east in points against.

They’re a team that is overly dependent on just two players and a partial rebuild may be in order. So a trade for Bogdan Bogdanovic would make sense.

A talent swap may be all it’ll take for the Cleveland Cavaliers to land Bogdan Bogdanovic

The folks at King James Gospel have an interesting trade package that may just work. They’re suggesting Caris LeVert and a 2nd Round-Pick for Frank Kaminsky and Bogdanovich. Kaminsky isn’t a big name, but the Cavs need a more mobile center than Robin Lopez, and Kaminsky may be able to give the Cavs just that.

Not only that, but Kaminsky can still shoot, so if Dean Wade can’t get healthy or if someone like Kevin Love gets hurt, Kaminsky can fill in. At least offensively.

Would the Hawks take LeVert back? He’s going to give the Hawks size, so it’s possible that they may see him as an asset. He does get the Hawks out of Bogdanovich’s money a year early, assuming he doesn’t opt into his last year, so there’s a possibility.

It would be a near-perfect addition for the Cavs, but the Hawks may not want to move on from him. At least not yet.
