NBA championship winner Matthew Dellavedova is set to rejoin forces with former Boomers coach Brian Goorjian after reportedly signing with the Sydney Kings on a multi-year deal.
Dellavedova entered the NBL's free agency period on Friday as one of the most sought-after players, with both Perth and Brisbane interested in his services, as well as his current club Melbourne United.
But according to ESPN, the 34-year-old has settled on joining the Kings, who are coached by Goorjian.
Just last month, Goorjian appointed Dellavedova's former Boomers teammate Andrew Bogut as an assistant coach.
Both the Kings and United declined to comment on Dellavedova's future when contacted on Sunday.
Dellavedova is a four-time Olympian, helping Australia to break through for a bronze medal at the 2021 Tokyo Games.
He also won an NBA Championship alongside LeBron James at the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.
Dellavedova spent the past two seasons at Melbourne United, who during that period suffered heartbreaking grand-final series defeats to the Tasmania JackJumpers then the Illawarra Hawks.
The star guard produced a classy act last month when he handed his grand final MVP award to Will Hickey in the belief his Hawks opponent was the more deserving winner.
Fellow Melbourne United star Jack White has also opted for free agency.
Other big names on the free agency list include Keanu Pinder, Josh Bannan and Sam Froling.
Key imports also on the table include championship winner Trey Kell III, Kendric Davis, Montrezl Harrell, Parker Jackson-Cartwright, Matt Hurt, Milton Doyle and Jaylen Adams.
