Bogdan Bogdanovic ‘would like to stay’ with the Kings

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic hopes to remain with the team after the trade deadline.

Bogdanovic, who scored 23 points in the win over Minnesota, is drawing interest from the Lakers, Hornets and other teams.

“Obviously, I would like to stay,” Bogdanovic told NBC Sports California. “I’m settled here. I have a house, my sister’s in college, so it’s easier.”

“But, you have to be ready for everything, especially after I saw in my first year, what was going on,” Bogdanovic said. “First year, when you come through it [the deadline], you always know that date is coming and it could be you. You just have to be ready and work on your game and be mentally prepared – for everything.”

The serbian guard is averaging 14.6 points and 3.3 assist per game.
