I figure it's only partly about Bogdan. There's a 90% chance the trade fell apart because Milwaukee's own front office royally screwed up and announced it before it was legal to do so. Note that they also messed up Connaughton's contract this offseason. Basically, their front office already had a reputation for being inept and they went out of their way to live up to that expectation.
If your team couldn't even seal the deal on a no-brainer trade you hand-delivered to them, wouldn't you think twice about committing to them long-term? And if Jrue decides to hold off on an extension (opening the real possibility that they traded so many assets for nothing), I imagine that might influence his choice as well.
