Andrew Bogut could soon latch on with another team.

The free-agent center is being courted by numerous playoff teams and is expected to ink a new deal following the trade deadline, league sources told The New York Times' Marc Stein.

While teams are interested in the former No. 1 pick, they reportedly want to maintain roster flexibility through the Feb. 8 deadline before dabbling in the open market.

Bogut, 33, was released by the Los Angeles Lakers two weeks ago. He averaged 1.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 24 games after joining the Lake Show on a non-guaranteed deal over the offseason.

The 7-foot Aussie has career averages of 9.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists over 13 seasons, and won a championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2015. He's been linked to a return to his first club, the Milwaukee Bucks.
