Canadian Kelly Olynyk has agreed to sign with the Miami Heat.
Agent Greg Lawrence confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press, after ESPN first reported it would be a four-year deal worth in excess of $50 million.
The deal has not been signed, though could be as early as Friday.
A 7-foot centre from Kamloops, with 3-point range, Olynyk spent his first four NBA seasons with the Boston Celtics and played mostly as a reserve.
He averaged 9.5 points in 278 regular-season games shot a career-best 51 per cent last season.
Olynyk is the second significant agreement for Miami in this free-agent period. The Heat struck a deal Wednesday to re-sign guard Dion Waiters.
