The Golden State Warriors are finalizing an agreement that will send center Willie Cauley-Stein to the Dallas Mavericks.
League sources told ESPN and The Athletic on Friday that the Warriors
will trade Cauley-Stein to the Mavs for a 2020 second-round draft pick.
According to ESPN, Dallas is sending the Utah Jazz's 2020 second-rounder
in the deal.
Cauley-Stein, 26, could fill an immediate need for the Mavericks after
key big man Dwight Powell went down with a significant injury earlier
this week. Powell suffered a ruptured right Achilles during Tuesday
night's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Sacramento Kings selected Cauley-Stein with the No. 6 overall pick
in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Kentucky. After spending his first four
seasons with the Kings, he signed a two-year contract with the Warriors
this past off-season.
Cauley-Stein is scheduled to earn $2.17 million this year and has a
$2.28 million player option next season, according to Spotrac. The
Mavericks will acquire him with the $11.7 million trade exception
created from the Harrison Barnes deal last February.
Cauley-Stein has averaged 7.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in 41 regular-season matchups this year.
