The odds from BetOnline’s special props indicate that the Celtics are the favorites to trade for Bogdanovic, with the Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Sacramento Kings also listed as potential suitors.

While Bogdanovic could provide the Celtics with valuable depth and scoring, the challenge lies in matching the salary needed to acquire him, given his $18.7 million contract. The report suggests that the Celtics might need to include one of their core six players in a potential deal, and it questions whether disrupting the team’s current chemistry is worth such a move.
