Report: Andrew Bogut Heading To Mavericks, Barnes Right Behind Him

DALLAS (CBS/AP) -- A person with knowledge of the deal says the Dallas Mavericks have agreed to acquire center Andrew Bogut 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 said 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.
