 Terms of the deal were not announced but reports say it is a
one-year deal worth more than $1 million to Dellavedova, who made
just over $800,000 last season.
Dellavedova, 24, made only 13 starts for the Cavs in the 2014-15
regular season, but rose to prominence in the NBA Finals with his
hustling defense against the Golden State Warriors.
With starter Kyrie Irving out with a season-ending knee injury,
Dellavedova started five games in the series, which the Cavs lost to
the Warriors 4-2.
He scored 20 points in a winning effort in Game Three, and was
hospitalized after the game for dehydration.
In 20 playoff games, Dellavedova and averaged 7.2 points, 2.1
rebounds and 2.7 assists.
Also on Monday, the Cavaliers traded center Brendan Haywood,
guard/forward Mike Miller and two future second round draft picks to
Portland.
Haywood made only one start last season, while Miller started 15
games.
Meanwhile, Golden State sent forward/center David Lee to Boston in
exchange for forward Gerald Wallace and guard/forward Chris Babb.
Lee played only a peripheral role for Golden State in the
championship series against Cleveland.

Boston also re-signed forward Jae Crowder, who averaged 9.5 points
and 4.6 rebounds last season, and acquired Zoran Dragic from the
Miami Heat.
The Heat also sent guard Shabazz Napier to Orlando in exchange for a
protected second-round draft pick.
