Tippett, who'd previously spoken of his desire to return home to his native Queensland, shocked Adelaide when he knocked back offers from Gold Coast and the Brisbane Lions after walking away from the Crows after six years.
The sought-after key forward chose the Swans on Friday, with the decision made public on Saturday, and his manager, Peter Blucher, said it was now up to Adelaide to get a deal done with the 2012 premiers.
"There is a commitment by the club to Kurt to help get him to the club of his choice and that's what we'll be asking them to do, as per the commitment they've given him," Blucher said on Melbourne radio station SEN.
"[Adelaide chief executive] Steven Trigg and [football manager] Phil Harper are people of the utmost integrity, it's certainly not for me to question that, so we'd be very comfortable and confident that that deal will get done."
Trade Machine
Blucher scoffed at suggestions that Tippett has a clause in his contract that allows him to be traded for just a second-round draft pick in return.
But he reiterated his view that the Crows were honour-bound to get his client to the Swans following discussions between the two parties when he signed his last contract with Adelaide in 2009.
Adelaide management has remained tight-lipped on the gentlemen's agreement, but it was reported in The Advertiser that the agreement was based on Tippett's desire to return home to Queensland and would not be honoured if he chose to go elsewhere.
The Swans currently possess the 22nd overall pick in the NAB AFL Draft, which would fall well short of the Crows' demands.
"Happily that's not my responsibility," Blucher said of what it will take to satisfy both clubs.
"But at the end of the day there is an understanding that the Crows will do their utmost to get him to the club of his choice and we also understand that things need to be commercially viable.
"[Swans chief executive] Andrew Ireland and the Adelaide people can sort that one out."

However, with Gold Coast looming as a possible fall back position with the second pick in the pre-season draft, Blucher warned the Crows not to be too demanding as they seek the best-possible compensation for the 104-game forward.
"If he'd chosen to go to the Gold Coast he could have walked there for nothing," he said.
"While the Giants (who have the No.1 pick) could technically take him in the pre-season draft, they don't want him. They've got Cameron and Patton as their two big key forwards and they don't have the facility to fit him in at the minute anyway.
"That makes [pick 22] commercially viable because the alternative is that they get nothing for him.
"We don't want that either because there was a commitment by us and Adelaide that there will be a commercially viable deal done to the best satisfaction of both parties.
"I'm sure it will be a very interesting period of time."
The Swans and Adelaide have been willing trade partners in recent years with Lewis Johnston and Tony Armstrong switching between the clubs during last year's trade week.
