A person familiar with the decision says the Sacramento Kings have agreed to acquire Sam Dalembert from the Philadelphia 76ers for Andres Nocioni and Spencer Hawes.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Thursday because the deal is still awaiting league approval.
Dalembert was Philadelphia's longest-tenured player, but he never developed into a dominant force after being drafted in the first round in 2001. The 6-foot-11 center averaged 8.1 points and 8.3 rebounds over eight seasons. He was unhappy with his role and asked for a trade last year
Nocioni, a 6-foot-7 forward, averaged 8.5 points for the Kings last season. Hawes, a 7-foot-1 center, averaged 10 points and 6.1 rebounds last season. Hawes was Sacramento's first-round draft pick in 2007.
