ThunderGirls win Silver Division
CLEVELAND — The NBA champion Cavaliers have made a qualifying offer to popular backup point guard Matthew Dellavedova, making him a restricted free agent.
Dellavedova is expected to draw interest from other teams once free agency begins, and depending on how much he’s offered, the Cavs could face a tough decision on whether to resign the Australian. The 25-year-
old had a solid third season with Cleveland, averaging 7.5 points and 4.4 assists in 24.6 minutes per game. However, his playing time dwindled during the NBA Finals as coach Tyronn Lue gave min-
utes to Mo Williams. Dellavedova was vital for Cleveland during the finals a year ago when Kyrie Irving shattered his kneecap. The 6-foot4 guard is a relentless defender, and star LeBron James joked during a rally last week that if Dellavedova was battling a bear for a loose ball that “Delly would tear that damn bear up.”
‘magic’ hopes for ibaka ORLANDO, Fla. — A week ago after waking up in Paris to a flurry of congratulatory text messages, Serge Ibaka wasn’t quite sure how to feel about the NBA draft night trade that landed him in Orlando. But one text message in particular helped him feel better about his transition from the Oklahoma City Thunder — a team contending for an NBA championship — to a young team trying to figure out how to make the postseason. “One of things that made me feel good at that moment was dad texted me,” Ibaka said Thursday at a news conference. “Before I could get excited and happy, my dad was happy. He congratulated me and said he was real happy for me. That’s what changed everything at the moment. “This is a business, and things happen for a reason. So I’m happy to be here and for my family and for my daughter.” The Magic aggressively went after Ibaka, trading Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and the rights to Domantas Sabonis (the No.11 overall pick) to land the veteran power forward. They were looking for an inside presence and leadership; Ibaka, a veteran who has gone deep into the playoffs, gives them both.
