The Australian basketball world has been waiting to see whether Andrew Bogut was going to ‘call it a day’ or stick around for one last season of basketball and a shot at Olympic glory.
And the answer to that question is set to come tomorrow at 10 am AEST on the ‘Boguey-man’s’ new podcast, Rogue Bogues.

Breaking announcement by @andrewbogut on where he will be signing for the upcoming season 🏀🏀🏀10am AEST tomorrow.

The 15 year NBA veteran and championship winner has an ownership stake waiting for him with the Sydney Kings when he finally does retire, however there is speculation he may forgo that option to sign elsewhere, sparked by a tweet with the interesting use of the word ‘were’ released by Sydney Kings owner Paul Smith:
The writing has, possibly, been on the wall for Sydney Kings fans since July when Bogut put his $5 million dollar Beach Road mansion on the market and moved with his family to his native Melbourne.
While Melbourne may appear to be a safe and obvious choice for Bogut, there have not been any rumblings from within the United camp indicating that he’s expressed an interest.
The only indication we currently have as to his intentions is that he is on the record for saying that one day he’d love to play in the ‘homeland’ – Croatia.
The HIT Premijer Liga is the top Croatian league, dominated by the European Powerhouse, Cibona, that has won 19 of the league’s 28 championships and also plays in the respected Adriatic league.
With no talk of an NBL signing, a Bogut sighting in Croatia might be on the cards.
