Milwaukee Bucks guard Matthew Dellavedova was packaged in a deal as he was sent back to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for George Hill.
It’s clear that the Cavs is shaking their roster after LeBron James left the team for Los Angeles Lakers.
Matthew Dellavedova is definitely a fan favorite in Cleveland especially when he did his heroic acts back in the 2015 NBA Finals where he dropped 20 points plus the suffocating defense he thrown against Stephen Curry.
Along with Dellavedova he will be joined by John Henson and two future draft picks. In exchange, the Cavs sent George Hill to the Bucks.
Washington Wizards also joined this transaction which makes it a three-team trade. They have sent Jason Smith and second-round future pick to the Bucks as they acquired Sam Dekker.
With this move, the Bucks is showing that they’re looking forward for a much deeper playoff drive this season. Hill’s experience playing with the San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz and the Cavs will help them in that campaign.

For the Wizards, they’re now starting to click but it seems still isn’t good enough. The John Wall-led team needs another long range shooter and Dekker can fit in that role.
