OAKLAND — Andrew Bogut was traded from the Mavericks to the Sixers before Thursday’s trade deadline. But Bogut is unlikely to remain in Philadelphia. Rumors are that the Sixers and Bogut will work together on a buyout, planting him on the free agency market to sign elsewhere.

For much of the morning, it was widely assumed Bogut couldn’t sign with the Warriors because of a CBA rule put in place a few years back that restricted players who are traded from a team to rejoin that same team within a calendar year.

But after some digging from The Vertical’s front office expert Bobby Marks and insider Adrian Wojnarowski, a loophole has been discovered. Because Bogut was traded again — by Dallas — the Mavericks are the only team unable to sign him.

Since Golden State is now not the last team to trade him away, the Warriors are able to sign Bogut, should he be bought out. There’s no word if there is interest from either side on a reunion. It didn’t end particularly cordially between the two. But the possibility is intriguing. The Cavaliers, Rockets and Spurs, among others, are reportedly interested in him, as well.
