In the lawsuit, Hemofarm Vrsac of Serbia and Montenegro claims agent Marc Cornstein and Pinnacle Management Corp. interfered with Milicic’s European contract, which the club said runs through 2009.

The Cleveland Cavaliers agreed to trade swingman Jumaine Jones to the Boston Celtics for point guard J.R. Bremer and center Bruno Sundov.

An announcement planned for Monday night was postponed because there wasn’t enough time to file the trade paperwork with the league.

The teams agreed to the deal and expect to officially announce it today, Cavalier spokesman Tad Carper said.

Celtic spokesman Bill Bonsiewicz said he could not confirm the deal and declined to comment.
