ANDREW Bogut has committed to joining the Cleveland Cavaliers for the rest of the NBA season and is expected to formally sign in the coming days.

The Boomers great is likely to join the star-studded NBA champions by this weekend after weighing up multiple offers from other teams.

Bogut was also linked with teams including Boston and Houston and his agent, David Bauman of ISE, told AP the final decision was “a lot harder than Bogut anticipated.”

Bogut will be able to sign with the Cavaliers as long as he signs clears waivers at 5pm Wednesday US time (Thursday 9am AEDT), but he is not expected to be claimed.

Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon said the Cavs could waive another player as early as Thursday (AEDT) to clear a roster spot for Bogut.

The Australian will likely sign by the weekend but probably won’t feature in the Cavs’ upcoming three-game road trip, meaning he could make his debut at home to Miami on Monday (Tuesday AEDT).

Bogut was traded at the deadline from Dallas to Philadelphia in a deal that brought Nerlens Noel to the Mavericks.

He and the 76ers agreed to part ways so Bogut could join a championship contender, and he had several teams lining up to add the defensive-minded centre.

Australia’s greatest basketball export had also held discussion with the Rockets, Celtics and San Antonio Spurs.

The 32-year-old appeared to confirm the news himself on Wednesday with this cryptic tweet, alluding to the Cavs’ team colours by linking to a video of UB40’s Red, Red Wine.

NBA.com’s David Aldrige reported Bogut had been told his role in Cleveland would be to help relieve starting centre Tristan Thompson. He also revealed Bogut’s Boomers teammate and former Cav Matthew Dellavedova played a role in the decision.

Bogut's role: “get Tristan some well needed rest. X and Os wise didn’t get that far but I’m sure they’ll use my passing as an advantage." — David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) March 1, 2017

Just got a text from Bogut. Asked him, why Cleveland? Answer: “I heard it’s beautiful this time of year." — David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) March 1, 2017

Bogut’s relationship w/fellow Aussie Matthew Dellavedova also a factor, per source. Delly spoke highly of Cavs’ team and organization. — David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) March 1, 2017

Due to the Cavaliers’ salary cap constraints, it’s likely former Golden State Warriors star Bogut turned down more money elsewhere to chase his second career championship ring with the star-studded Cavaliers.

Bogut became Australia’s fifth NBA champion when he helped the Warriors to the title in 2015. The Cavaliers will be the fourth team of his NBA career having also spent seven years with the Milwaukee Bucks where he was No.1 draft pick in 2005.
