Despite a last-minute bid by the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign restricted free agent Carlos Boozer, a source tells ESPN's David Aldridge that the forward is still expected to sign a six-year, $68 million offer sheet with the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

On Monday, the Cavaliers offered the most they can under league rules -- the mid-level exception, which will be $4.903 million for next season -- for one year. But late Tuesday, Boozer still planned to accept the Jazz deal, the source said.

Boozer and his family are expected to be in Salt Lake City on Wednesday to officially sign the sheet. The Cavaliers would have 15 days after the sheet is signed to match it -- and retain Boozer -- or decline to match it, in which case Boozer would go to the Jazz.

Boozer's controversial dealings with Utah came after Boozer and his former agent, Rob Pelinka, verbally agreed with the Cavaliers that Cleveland would not pick up its third-year option on Boozer, which would have paid him $695,000 next season.

The Cavaliers contend that Boozer and Pelinka gave them assurances that if the team released Boozer -- thus making him a restricted free agent -- he would quickly re-sign with Cleveland on a long-term contract. Instead, Boozer came to terms with the Jazz. Because he was a second-round pick, the only thing Cleveland could offer him was the mid-level exception.

Pelinka informed the NBA Players' Association on Monday that he had resigned as Boozer's agent, two league sources told ESPN Insider Chad Ford, after Boozer's apparent reneging on the verbal agreement with the Cavs.

Once Cleveland receives the offer sheet from Utah, it can only match the deal if it clears enough room under the salary cap to match Boozer's first-year salary.

The Cavaliers have a little more than $43 million committed for next season, barely leaving them under next season's $43.87 million cap. They would have to either find a taker for center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who'll make $14.625 million next season -- and take nothing but draft picks in return -- or trade several players.
