How Matthew Dellavedova's arrival will help Collin Sexton

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Most everything with the Cleveland Cavaliers nowadays is about Collin Sexton -- and draft picks. Let's not forget those.

The full trade included three teams, five players and four total picks, including the two the Cavs netted from Milwaukee.

But it really boils down to chairman Dan Gilbert's willingness to take on extra salary now for the team's future benefit while also trying to keep Sexton, the 2018 eighth-overall pick, in the best situation to blossom into a franchise building block.

On the one hand, the Cavs sent away Sexton's mentor George Hill.
