Bogut will join Cavaliers
Veteran center Andrew Bogut has chosen to join the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Bogut’s agent, David Bauman of ISE, said Tuesday night that Bogut plans to sign with the Cavaliers as soon as he clears waivers.
Bauman anticipates that Bogut will join the defending NBA champions by this weekend.
Bogut was traded last week at the deadline from Dallas to Philadelphia in a deal that sent Nerlens Noel to the Mavericks. Bogut and the 76ers agreed to part ways so he could join a contender, and he had several teams lining up to add the defensive-minded center.
Bauman says the decision was “a lot harder than Bogut anticipated.”
Bogut has informed Cleveland, Boston, San Antonio and Houston of his decision.

HOCKEY
Vladimir Petrov, a two-time Olympic champion who was on the Soviet Union team that lost to the United States at the 1980 Lake Placid Games, died at age 69. Petrov played alongside Boris Mikhailov and Valery Kharlamov on an offensive line considered one of the best in hockey history.
Petrov won Olympic gold with the Soviet Union at the 1972 and 1976 Games. He was still on the team in 1980 when the Soviets had to settle for silver after losing to the Americans and then beating Sweden in the final round.
