After a championship winning season, the Cavaliers were riding a high that not many franchises and players get to experience often, if at all.
It was the first championship for the Cleveland Cavaliers after 46 years of playing the game without ever reaching the pinnacle of success.
But during the offseason, scrappy backup point guard Matthew Dellavedova – a restricted free-agent – signed an offer sheet with the Milwaukee Bucks for 4 years and $38.4 million.
The Cavaliers felt the $9.6 million a year was a bit too much to pay for a backup point guard, so instead they negotiated a sign-and-trade with Milwaukee and received a $9.
