-

A person familiar with the trade says the Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to re-acquire guard Matthew Dellavedov­a from Milwaukee, and also are getting forward

John Henson and two draft picks in 2021 from the Bucks in exchange for guard George Hill and forward

Sam Dekker. The swap, which will bring the popular Dellavedov­a back to Cleveland, is pending league approval, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams have not yet had the conference call with NBA officials. The first-round pick in 2021 is protected, the person said. Hill recently returned after missing 11 games with a shoulder injury. Dekker has also been sidelined. Dellavedov­a’s scrappines­s endeared him to Cleveland fans during his three seasons with the Cavs. He was a major contributo­r on their 2016 title team before he signed with the Bucks as a free agent.
