Bucks and Kings Trade Falls Through, League Investigating Tampering

On November 17th we brought you the news the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings had agreed to a trade that included restricted free agent Bogdan Bogdanovic. Turns out Bogdanovic never agreed to sign in Milwaukee to facilitate the deal and they put the carriage before the horse on this one.

The Bucks are moving on from their pursuit of restricted free agent Bogdan Bogdanovic, who will scan market across league, sources tell me and @sam_amick.

Not a good look for Milwaukee who are trying to bend over backwards to impress Giannis Antetokounmpo and let him know the team is serious about contending. With the recent addition of Jrue Holiday, Bogdanovic was supposed to come in and provide the Bucks with some outside shooting from the wing. They now turn their attention elsewhere.

For the NBA, they are going to be investigating this deal on worries of tampering and more information is expected in the coming weeks regarding the outcome. 

The league has opened a tampering investigation into the reported Bucks-Kings trade earlier this week. https://t.co/giDyVIfjrE
