Another blockbuster trade went down Friday in the NBA, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski . . .
As Woj also notes, getting this deal done by 6 p.m. Friday allows the players in the deal to be eligible to be aggregated on the Feb. 7 trade deadline. The Cavs are taking on some significant salaries as part of their recent draft capital purge; according to Spotrac, Dellavedova is due a total of $20 million over this season and next, while Henson is due $18 million.
This deal could have long-term implications on the current hierarchy of power in the Eastern Conference, which sees the Raptors boasting the NBA's best record but the Boston Celtics, a preseason Finals favorite, finally building steam after a sluggish 10-10 start.
Boston Celtics
Hill, 32, is averaging 10.8 points and shooting 46 percent on three-pointers this season, but he's also missed 11 games so far with a shoulder injury. He's only guaranteed $1 million of his $19 million base salary next year. That could save the Bucks significant money if they don't resign him, freeing then up to potentially secure deals with other players set for free agency this summer, including Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton and former Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon.
