Latest free agency news, rumors Thursday, July 8

LEE HEADED TO WEST COAST: The Warriors have acquired David Lee in a sign-and-trade deal with the Knicks, according to FanHouse. Lee, a free agent on July 1, has agreed to a six-year contract worth approximately $79 million. In return, the Knicks garner Kelenna Azubuike, Ronny Turiaf and 2008 first-round pick Anthony Randolph. [Fanhouse]

BOSH S&T: The Houston Rockets, Charlotte Bobcats, Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors have discussed a deal that would send Chris Bosh -- who on Thursday orally agreed to join the Heat -- to Miami by way of a sign-and-trade, guaranteeing Bosh the sixth year on his deal that he has coveted, a source familiar with the discussions told SI.com.

The framework of the deal would send Bosh to Miami, Jared Jeffries and Michael Beasley to Charlotte, Tyson Chandler to Houston and a fill in player from Houston to Toronto. The teams continue to negotiate but the source warned that the deal was "unlikely to happen" at this time.

HAYWOOD RE-UPS WITH MAVS: The Mavericks agreed to a six-year, $55 million deal with center Brendan Haywood, SI.com has confirmed. Haywood was traded to Dallas at the February trade deadline last season and averaged 8.1 points, 7.4 boards and 2.0 blocks in 28 games for the Mavs.

As, perhaps, the top center on the market this free-agent season, Haywood also drew interest from Miami and Cleveland. [Chris Mannix, SI.com]

HARRINGTON LOOKING: Free agent Knicks forward Al Harrington has interest in Utah, New Jersey, Orlando and the Los Angeles Clippers, league sources told SI.com. Harrington is also interested in returning to the Knicks but it is unclear whether the interest by New York, which recently signed Amar'e Stoudemire, is mutual.

MIAMI TROIKA?: As first reported by Newsday's Alan Hahn and followed by ESPN's Chris Broussard, LeBron James is leaning toward Miami, where he would join fellow All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
