The Atlanta Hawks have traded Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams and a 2019 first-round pick. Korver is a 35 year-old shooting guard who has played for 4 teams(the 76ers from 2003-2008, the Jazz from 2008-2010, the Bulls from 2010-2012, and the Hawks from 2012-2016). Korver is a one-time all-star and has a career average of 10 points per game and 3.1 rebounds per game. These are definitely not glittery stats, but he has a career three point percentage of .429 and once had 127 games in a row with a three-pointer. Korver plays shooting guard and is a catch and shoot player who only has a career average of 1.8 assists per game. Korver has never had a triple-double in his life and has only had a double-double 7 times. Korver has never averaged more than 15 points in a sesason. We will have to see how this trade plays out but it seems like the Hawks might have the better end of this trade.

Trading Mo Williams gets salary off the Cavs’ roster, enabling them to acquire another point guard without paying more in luxury tax. Dunleavy is done. If LeBron is still playing for Cleveland, the first round pick will be one of the last in the round. Great trade for the Cavs.
