It appears that Australian center Andrew Bogut could return to the NBA once again and make another championship run with the Golden State Warriors. According to several media outlets, Bogut, who just wrapped up Australia’s NBL season with Sydney Kings, is close to signing a deal with the Warriors and filling the team’s last available roster spot.

 Andrew Bogut previously played with Golden State from 2012 and 2016 and managed to win an NBA title during that period. He then had stints with Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers before deciding to return to Australia.

Bogut had a successful 2018/19 season with Sidney Kings, being named NBL’s Most Valuable Player while averaging 11.6 points per game. He was also named Best Defensive Player and managed to get All-NBL First Team honors.

Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr talked about the possibility of adding Bogut to the team and said he would welcome the move.

“I’m not going to go into kind of our needs and all that,” – said Kerr said earlier in the week. “Just cut right to the chase and tell you that we have been talking to Bogut and his representatives and nothing is official. And there’s things that have to happen and we can’t really comment on it until it’s official. The other question [about how he fits] I’ll answer at the appropriate time.”

“In line with player contracting procedures, the Sydney Kings have submitted to NBL head office appropriate paperwork for Andrew Bogut for review and processing. The Kings will make no further comment but will provide an update in due course.” – said the team in a statement on Monday.

After returning from a broken leg injury in September 2017, Andrew Bogut decided to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. He ended up playing in 24 games for the struggling Lakers, averaging 9.0 minutes, 1.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

Lakers released Bogut in January, one day before his contract would become fully guaranteed for the rest of the season. It was expected that the player will join a playoff contender, but he eventually decided to return to Australia and focus on getting ready for the 2018-19 NBA season.

“The body’s feeling good right now,” – Bogut told ESPN a few weeks ago. “I still feel like I’ve got a couple of good years left in me that I can play at a high level. I don’t feel I’m in a position to play 40 or 35 minutes a night, that’s a bit extreme with my injury history, but I think 15-20 a night off the bench is definitely a goal I am looking towards.“

Andrew Bogut was drafted in the league by Milwaukee Bucks, who took him first overall in 2005 NBA Draft. After seven seasons with the Bucks, he was traded to the Golden State Warriors where he ended up playing a crucial role in team’s run for NBA Championship in 2015. Bogut also played for Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers during his 13-year NBA career.

Andrew Bogut won’t become a member of Boston Celtics as many believed. Instead, there are reports that he has agreed to a 1 year, $2.3 million veteran-minimum deal with the LA Lakers. This has been revealed to Shams Charania of The Vertical by Bogut’s agent David Bauman.

Charania discusses that there are several reasons why Bogut choose the Lakers instead some other teams. He will reunite with coach Luke Walton who previously served as an assistant with the Golden State Warriors during Bogut’s time there, while also becoming a part of a team with a talented young roster that includes Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram. Of course, there is also an honor that comes with wearing a Lakers’ jersey. Still, Bogut’s decision is an interesting one, since reportedly some better-positioned teams expressed interest in his services including San Antonio Spurs and the Boston Celtics. While he wouldn’t be a starter with these teams, he shouldn’t expect some more prominent role with the Lakers as well, especially since they already have Brook Lopez as their primary big man. Lakers certainly got a good addition with Bogut, who brings a championship experience and needed guidance to this young team. This is of course if Bogut manages to stay healthy.

A few days ago, Bogut’s agent went public saying that his client is healthy and ready to begin playing basketball. Bauman told to TNT’s David Aldridge that “CT on Bogut’s tibia shows complete healing“, and that “radiology report shows leg is solidly united“.

After Warriors lost the 2016 NBA Finals to Cleveland Cavaliers, Bogut was traded to the Dallas Mavericks so the team would free up the cap space required to sign Kevin Durant. Bogut only played 26 games with the Mavericks and was traded to Philadelphia 76ers. After the 76ers waived Bogut, he joined the Cleveland Cavaliers as a man who could put them over the Durant fronted Warriors. Spell with the Cavs turned to be a short one since Bogut suffered a fractured tibia in his debut for the Cavaliers.
