DeMarcus Cousins will sign a one-year, $5.3 million contract with the Warriors.
The big man will return from his Achilles injury between December and January.
Per ESPN, Cousins told Spears that he called his agent and they discussed various options, including the Warriors, who lost center JaVale McGee in free agency to the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Monday, Cousins called Warriors president of basketball operations Bob Myers to discuss joining the team.
"This is my ace of spades," Cousins said. "This is my chess move."
After the details had been discussed, Cousins said he had "great" conversations with Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, all of whom were his teammates on Team USA.
"Every guy was excited," he said.
The conversations sealed the deal, Cousins said, and he called Myers around 8 p.m. ET to say he would sign.
