(UPDATE 9:27 a.m.) - The Dallas Mavericks have officially announced the trade for Golden State center Andrew Bogut. Dallas will send a future conditional second-round pick to the Warriors in the deal, while Golden State will send Dallas a future second-round pick.
The deal had been agreed to on July 4th but couldn't become official until league business resumed Thursday.
DALLAS (AP) — A person with knowledge of the deal says the Dallas Mavericks have agreed to acquire the center from Golden State, which is clearing salary cap room after winning the Kevin Durant sweepstakes.
Other details of the trade are still being worked out, the person told The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been finalized and can't be official until league business resumes Thursday.
The person also said the Mavericks are confident they will sign restricted free agent Harrison Barnes of Golden State. After getting a commitment from Durant, the Warriors aren't expected to match Dallas' planned four-year, $95 million offer sheet.
The additions of Barnes and Bogut also mean Dirk Nowitzki is all but certain to return for a 19th season in Dallas.
