Breaking News: Goodbye Wombat?
2016-07-01
Matthew Dellavedova and the Milwaukee Bucks reached an agreement today on a four-year, $39 million deal, according to NBA league sources. Once the Bucks submit the signed offer sheet, the Cavs officially have three days to match the deal or let Delly go. While there’s still the possibility, initial reports have indicated that it is unlikely Cleveland matches.
Or you can take LBJ’s Tweet as a signal that the Wombat will soon be running with the Bucks…
Congrats to my brother! @matthewdelly on his deal! Good luck in Milwaukee! Very deserving to you and your family. 1

If this is actually the case, though a happy day for Delly and his family, it is a sad day for those in the Cavalier fanbase who genuinely loved and appreciated everything this scrappy Aussie guard did for this team and this franchise. He will certainly be missed.
Good luck Delly!
Man… Free Agency makes my head hurt… and my wallet sad…
Things I’m looking forward to: @BillSimmons bitching about how washed up Al Horford is in a year & a half.
Good call!!! Can’t wait for House to give him grief…
That’s the bright side. And it’ll happen. Then he’ll start talking about how they can trade him plus an expiring for Anthony Davis.
Will it even take that long?
YES. I love watching the Celts wallow in mediocrity and then having Simmons talk very passionately abut how great Brad Stevens is. Its so fun.
Love this
Per Sam Amico: #Cavs would like to add free agent G Jamal Crawford, and feeling is mutual, per sources. But making it work money-wise another matter.
Very interesting. KI, Crawford, JR, Bron, Love might have a pretty good offensive rating
Per Sam Amico: Kevin Durant has informed #Clippers he will not be joining them, per LA Times.
Nate Smiths response: Losing Delly to add the worst defender in nba. Ugh.
My response: plus Mo Williams
Cols response: you suck and everything is awesome…
Cols is kind of right this moment in time….
I honestly don’t even expect Mo to play next year. I think his knees are shot. If he really thought he could play he would have opted out for the summer bonanza. If he could play, he’d make twice what he opted in for.
This should help them with their fourth quarter D… /s

It’s meh to me if they get him. Might be better for the opposition since he’s a ball stopper
The Clippers… How to run a masterclass in squandering cap space…

Seems like this means Durant told them No. Hope Durant stays in OKC.
I love how the narrative that the “big splash” the Celtics just made was the same guy who got roasted in back to back playoff series by Tristan Thompson… LOL/SMH
yes sir. i have been laughing all night. horford is the best guy on a team the cavs swept two years in a row, and he just left to go to a team with a worse roster than the hawks had the last two years, and we are supposed to be nervous? if they get KD, then maybe we have a convo.
That’s the only reason I’m nervous about it – it gives them a shot at Durant when they had zero chance before.
If you find yourself getting nervous… just go check LBJ’s record against Horford, Durant and the Celtics over the last couple of seasons and playoffs…
I know. Yet ESPN has a headline right now that says, “Will Celtics Surpas Cavs With Horford?”
No. No they will not.
It’s not even worth talking about unless they get Durant. Even if they manage that, LeBron has KD’s number like no other. I looked it up a little while ago: KD won 4 and 3 against the Spurs and Warriors last playoffs, but he’s only beaten LeBron three or four times in his career. Counting every regular season.
Not so much nervous about losing to them, it’s much more the freaking Celtics getting Durant, and listening to all the Boston natives in the sports media (and there are thousandx of them, it’s not just Simmons) crowing about it. And that’s not even mentioning their scumbag fans, easily the most obnoxious, entitled fans in the sports world. Yes, far worse than Lakerfan.
All the sweeter it will taste when they fail once again…
^this… no sweat
This is pretty sad if you think about it…
