Bucks complete Matthew Dellavedova sign-and-trade, Giannis max deal drops with cap, Thon Maker debut tonight

Matthew Dellavedova is officially a Milwaukee Buck -- and three days sooner than expected.

After agreeing to a reported four-year, $38.4 million deal with Dellavedova on the first day of free agency, the Bucks were expected to sign the 25-year-old restricted free agent to an offer sheet on Thursday, which the Cavaliers would then have had three days to match (though we all knew they wouldn't). Instead, the two teams agreed to a sign-and-trade that created a trade exception for the capped-out Cavs and saw the Bucks land $250,000 in cash for their troubles -- but don't let that little bit of cap nuance distract from the fact that from a Bucks roster perspective this is basically the same as simply signing Dellavedova outright.
