He’s not yet 32 but he looks 40, he’s a basketball player but he clearly looks like a scrum-half, he’s both finito for high-level basketball but at the same time…so useful for not any team. This man is Matthew Dellavedova, NBA champion with Cleveland and absent from NBA radars for almost two years, Matthew Dellavedova who reappeared in Las Vegas in recent days in the enlarged group… of the Kings.
What if your favorite striker’s favorite pain in the ass made his return to the NBA? In any case, this is the question that we are entitled to ask ourselves, listening to the latest news from Nevada. Preview hanging out in the passageways of the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, where the Summer League is currently being held, Matthew Dellavedova would therefore be busy finding NBA shorts for next season, and according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin it could to be with the Kings, rumor officially substantiated last night when The Australian gentleman appeared in the stands of Davion Mitchell, Domantas Sabonis, Chimezie Metu, Kevin Huerter and Quinn Cookthe latter also being in the small papers of the Californian franchise, just like Shabazz Muhammad for that matter.
Former Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova is working out with the Sacramento Kings in Vegas, in hopes of making a return to the NBA. Delly played for Melbourne United in Australia last season. He got his NBA start in CLE playing for coach Mike Brown, who is now w/ SAC

Former Cavs point guard Matthew Dellavedova is currently training with the Kings in Las Vegas, hoping to return to the NBA. Dellavedova played in Melbourne last season and started his career in Cleveland under Mike Brown, who became the new Kings coach this summer.
Here’s some info that hasn’t fallen on deaf ears, that isn’t bitten by beetles, in short, some info that allows us to slap two grandpa expressions. NBA champion with the Cavs in 2016 then left in stride to become the starting point guard for the Bucks (we knew how to laugh at the time), Delly has since taken a downward slope in the NBA until recently finding himself near his family, in the Australian championship, to be posterized in complete relaxation in matches that will be described as “manly”. Renowned among the watchdog caste but limited in attack, Dellavedova has mainly made a name for herself as a defender who is not shy about biting and who wing clings to shorts, watchdog we tell you, but we noticed on some sequences in the NBA and especially with the Boomers… he was also able to send some good offensive performances. From there to say that Delly could replay a major role in the NBA? Let’s put this grenadine bleach cocktail (of the javelin) right awayand let’s start from the fact that if the Australian veteran manages to find a place in Sacto’s fifteen it will already be a great bet.
* lacks Kevin Huerter on the backcourt
The presence of Mike Brown is – as said above – perhaps less innocuous than it seems, and if Quinn Cook and Shabazz Muhammad also apply Coach Brown’s former back-up in Cleveland may well have a head start due to the two men’s shared history. A return that would touch us because it would remind us of a time not so distant but full of memories, and an addition that would undoubtedly – at least – guarantee a big upgrade to the roster in terms of experience.
No more than 4 points and 2 assists in the scope for Matthew Dellavedova if he were to sign with the Kings this season, but Sacramento’s youth may have found a spiritual guide to lose matches and drink beers. See you in a few days, we just hope it won’t be a shooting contest.
