The Golden State Warriors wasted no time replacing Andrew Bogut.
Hours after trading the Australian center to the Dallas Mavericks in order to create cap space to sign Kevin Durant, the Warriors reportedly agreed to a one-year, $2.9-million deal with free-agent center Zaza Pachulia on Monday, sources tell Shams Charania of The Vertical.
Pachulia is coming off an excellent year in Dallas, averaging 8.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 76 games (69 starts). The 32-year-old is averaging 8.2 points and 7.7 rebounds over the past three seasons.
The Warriors' starting lineup heading into the 2016-17 season now appears likely to have Pachulia at center alongside All-Stars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Durant.
