Report: Cavs and Dellavedova far apart on new contract

[Hey Yo]

"The Cavaliers and Dellavedova both want reach a new deal that keeps the reserve point guard being the guy off the bench behind Kyrie Irving (Dellavedova is a restricted free agent, the Cavs can match any offer he gets). But they are nowhere near a deal, reports Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated.

"Not much movement between the Cavaliers and Matthew Dellavedova on a new contract. A restricted free agent, Dellavedova is seeking a multiyear deal starting at $4 million per season, per a source, and the Cavs have balked, largely due to the enormous luxury tax implications that come with that type of contract. The market has largely dried up

I don't imagine he has a lot of other teams offering much. I like him but he had one good play off run but doesn't really look to have the tools to improve through out his career.

[Foster5k]

Let him walk. He's stock went way down after the Cavs lost the Finals. It's just how it goes. If the Cavs would have won, he might would be getting paid.

[Jailblazers7]

Delly has no leverage to be honest. I don't see any team in the league that would value Delly more than Cleveland would.

[GreggPopazit]

I thought they already agreed on a deal. Must have just been an offer.

Shouldve gone for Lin 2mil/year...

Look at him wantin 4m/ year lol

[WorldWarriors]

Well they got Mo Williams back now. Ace in the hole.

I'm wondering about TT. That's who they need to sign ASAP. Are they close yet?

Cavs should keep him around so LeBrons* voodoo work continues of having opponents get injured.

Delly could just physically threaten Dan Gilbert as well.

He brings more than his on court ability. He has grit, toughness and leadership qualities. He is a Derek Fisher type of player. He will do in tangibles that don't show up in the box score and will win you games with those in tangibles. His value is not extremely high bc of playing behind a elite pg, but he provides more than his stats.

Kind of, but right now Mo can more looked as the back-up SG since JR isn't signed. If and until that happens, Delly looks more like the back-up PG (if signed) than Mo does.

Watching Delly drive to the basket and shoot is cringe worthy. Looks scared as hell while doing so.

Oh snap. I forgot about JR. What is gonna happen with him. I think it was kind of dumb for him to opt out. Has he gotten any offers?

[Hey Yo]

Not sure about JR. Haven't heard of any real offers.

[midatlantic09]

Offer him $2 mil a yr and not a penny more. If he doesn't like it, let him walk...

They don't need Lin.
They need an MVP stoppa like Delly.
