Bucks get George Hill from Cavs for Matthew Dellavedova, John Henson

The Milwaukee Bucks were finalizing a deal Friday to add a veteran and clear their books in the short-term future in a four-player deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sources told ESPN.

The Bucks will acquire point guard George Hill and forward Sam Dekker in exchange for guard Matthew Dellavedova and center John Henson. The Cavs will acquire the Bucks' 2021 first- and second-round draft picks, though the first may not convey until as late as 2023 because the Bucks owe a future first to the Phoenix Suns that might not convey until 2021.

The deal potentially could save the Bucks about $19 million next season if they don't keep Hill, who has only $1 million of a $19 million deal guaranteed. Both Henson and Dellavedova, who won a title with the Cavs in 2016, have one year and about $10 million left on their contracts.

Milwaukee has several major free agents next summer including Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe and Malcolm Brogdon and this puts them in a better financial position to keep their team intact.

Dellavedova won a title for Cleveland but I guess he's been a bust for Milwaukee.
