OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Dorell Wright is getting another chance to start over and leaving behind another team that has more salary cap space in his absence.
The Golden State Warriors agreed Tuesday to trade Wright to the Philadelphia 76ers for the rights to a player currently in Europe, a person familiar with the decision said.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because teams can't announce any trades until the free agency moratorium ends Wednesday, said Golden State would receive Edin Bavcic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in return. The 76ers acquired Bavcic's rights in a trade with Toronto in 2006.
The move frees up about $4 million in salary cap space for Golden State, which drafted small forwards Harrison Barnes of North Carolina seventh overall and Draymond Green of Michigan State at No. 35 two weeks ago to take Wright's place. The Warriors now have about $8 million to spend before going into the luxury tax.
