CLEVELAND, Ohio. - The Cleveland Cavaliers will not match the offer sheet restricted free agent guard Matthew Dellavedova received from the Milwaukee Bucks, league sources informed cleveland.com.

Dellavedova, 25, is expected to sign his four-year, $38.5 million deal shortly after July 7, the first day free agents can sign their contracts. The Cavaliers would have three days to match the offer sheet to retain the services of their backup point guard, but cleveland.com was told that wouldn't be the case.

His new deal contains no team or player option and I'm told a sign-and-trade transaction will not occur.

What a difference a year makes for a player who went undrafted in 2013.

Last off-season, Dellavedova settled for the Cavaliers' qualifying offer of $1.2 million after it was made clear that a multi-year pact that suited both sides could not be reached. Cleveland.com was told that last summer Dellavedova would have accepted a salary of around half of what he's in store to collect from the division rival Bucks.

He bet on himself and it paid off.

The third-year guard is coming off a season in which he produced career-high numbers of 7.5 points, 4.4 assists and in shooting the three-ball at a 41-percent clip.

It is anticipated that the NBA champs will soon open negotiations with point guard Kay Felder out of Oakland University, the 54th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. Currently, Kyrie Irving and Mo Williams are the only point guards under contract.
