The Bucks acquired point guard George Hill from Cleveland and forward Jason Smith and a 2021 second-round pick from Washington in a three-way trade which was completed last night.
The Cavs acquired Matthew Dellavedova and center John Henson along with 2021 first- and second-round draft picks from Milwaukee.
The Wizards acquired Sam Dekker from Cleveland via Milwaukee and swapped second-round draft picks with Cleveland, with the Cavs sending the Wizards’ 2021 pick back to Washington for the Wizards’ 2022 selection.
This trade will save the Bucks $18M from the salary cap of the 2019-2020 season. This space will allow them to strengthen the roster and potentially pair franchise star Giannis Antetokounmpo with another high-caliber player.
With this trade, Dellavedova returns to the Cavs where he spent the first three years of his career, from 2013-2016, also winning a championship (2016).
