Kings guard [color=var(--lc)]Bogdan Bogdanovic said the team has offered him a maximum contract extension that would pay more than $50 million and keep him in Sacramento for four more years, but he is in no hurry to sign it.[/color]
Bogdanovic told The Sacramento Bee he wants to take his time with the decision. He would prefer to remain in Sacramento, but he could receive more lucrative offers if he waits to become a restricted free agent this summer.
“I would like to stay,” Bogdanovic said. “Everyone knows that I love Sacramento. Everyone loves to be here. It’s a great group of guys. I’m happy right now and I was happy all these years, but I don’t want to rush anything.”
The Kings are involved in negotiations with Bogdanovic and guard Buddy Hield as they prepare to close out their preseason schedule against [color=var(--lc)]Melbourne United of Australia on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center. Point guard De’Aaron Fox will not play due to a sore lower back following a physical [color=var(--lc)]128-115 victory over the Utah Jazz[/color] on Monday in Salt Lake City.[/color]

The Kings have until Oct. 21 to re-sign Hield and until June 30 to re-sign Bogdanovic or both players will become restricted free agents this summer. The team views Hield, 26, and Bogdanovic, 27, as important pieces of a talented core that could lead Sacramento back to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. However, general manager Vlade Divac and his front office must manage the salary cap carefully with Fox and forward Marvin Bagley III set to become eligible for their own extensions in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
