Report: Cavs trade for Dellavedova in three-team swap

The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Matthew Dellavedova on Friday in a trade with the Milwaukee Bucks, who also parted with forward John Henson and two draft picks in 2021 for guard George Hill and forward Sam Dekker. The Bucks sent Dekker to the Washington Wizards for forward Jason Smith.

The Cavs are receiving Milwaukee’s 2021 first- and second-round picks as well as a 2022 secondround pick from the Wizards.

Hill recently returned after missing 11 games with a shoulder injury, and the Cavs have been shopping him around for a deal. Dekker has also been sidelined with a severely sprained left ankle.

Dellavedova’s scrappiness endeared him to Cleveland fans during his three seasons with the Cavs, who didn’t re-sign the player known as “Delly” after winning the 2016 title.

Cleveland recently traded sharpshooter Kyle Korver to Utah for two picks in 2020 and 2021. The Cavs are targeting 2020 to land a big-name free agent, and should have plenty of salary-cap space to add one.

The 28-year-old Dellavedova will get a chance re-start his career with the Cavs. The Australian had been buried on Milwaukee’s bench and is averaging just 1.7 points and 2.4 assists in 12 games.

Henson recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. He’s averaging 5.6 points and 5.1 rebounds in 14 games.
