Matthew Dellavedova Reportedly Accepts Bucks Offer Sheet: Contract Details, More

Former Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Matthew Dellavedova has agreed to an offer sheet with the Milwaukee Bucks. 

Per TNT's David Aldridge, Dellavedova's agreement with the Bucks is for $38 million over four years. Since he's a restricted free agent, the Cavs do have the right to match the deal and bring him back. 

However, a tweet from LeBron James seems to indicate that Dellavedova will not return to Cleveland next season:

Dellavedova, 25, averaged 7.5 points, 4.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game across 76 games played and 14 starts in 2015-16, all career highs. It was his finest season to date, and he played an important role off the bench for the Cavaliers on the way to the organization's first title in June.

But he barely played at all in the final five games of the NBA Finals. He was glued to the bench as Mo Williams and Dahntay Jones cut into his minutes, while Kyrie Irving and J.R. Smith rarely left the floor.

Whereas Dellavedova had been a key contributor for the team a year prior in the NBA Finals when Irving was injured, he was barely an afterthought in this year's championship round.

It was obvious, then, that he was expendable in Cleveland, which meant that teams in need of a solid, if unspectacular, backup point guard had a nice target in free agency. Ultimately, the Bucks made an offer to entice Dellavedova. 

He will never be the flashiest or the most talented player, but his defensive effort makes him a valuable contributor. He also provides experience and leadership, having been to the NBA Finals in consecutive seasons, and his teammates have praised his intensity in the past.

He will help round out the Bucks' bench if the Cavs decline to match the offer sheet, and he will present another solid option at point guard behind Michael Carter-Williams. After three seasons of steady improvement, a change in scenery could be just what Dellavedova needs to take a major leap forward in the 2016-17 season.
