Dellavedova's Next Move: Kings in Pole Position as United Exit Looms
So, big news coming out of the NBL Free Agency scene—Matthew Dellavedova, the Boomer we’ve all watched rise from NBA grind to Aussie hardwood icon, looks set to move on from Melbourne United. Yeah, that’s right. The man they call “Delly” is reportedly not heading back to United, and instead, all signs point to the Sydney Kings as the frontrunner to land him.
Now, this is a pretty major shake-up for NBL fans. Delly’s been a central figure for United, and his experience, grit, and leadership on and off the court are pretty much priceless. But from what’s being tracked in free agency, he’s looking for something more stable—specifically, a long-term deal. That kind of security makes total sense when you think about his career stage. He’s done the hard yards in the NBA, worn the green and gold for the Boomers, and now he’s aiming for consistency and commitment from his next club.

Enter the Kings. They’ve been aggressive in the free agency market and if they can lock Delly down, it could be a serious boost to their championship aspirations. Not just in terms of skill, but also culture. He’s the kind of guy who can anchor a team’s mentality, bring a never-say-die attitude, and give you elite-level playmaking when it matters most.
For United, this definitely leaves a hole. Replacing a player like Dellavedova isn’t easy. And for fans, it’s bittersweet. You want what’s best for him, but losing him still stings. It’ll be interesting to see how Melbourne responds in the market—whether they pivot to younger talent or try to bring in another veteran presence.
So, while it’s not official yet, all signs point toward Delly in a Kings jersey next season. And honestly, that storyline writes itself. Big city lights, championship pedigree, and a seasoned floor general hungry for his next chapter. Watch this space—it’s going to be a wild NBL season.
