The Cavaliers Acquired 'Kyle Korver' From The Hawks For Dunleavy; Dunleavy Refused To Play With The Hawks
The Cleveland Cavaliers official acquires "Kyle Korver" from the Atlanta Hawks, confirmed last Saturday. The newest NBA trade was agreed upon a three-team trade between the Cavs, Hawks, and the Blazers.
The ESPN confirmed that "Kyle Korver" is now a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Korver was acquired by the Cavaliers at the expense of Mike Dunleavy Jr., Mo Williams, and a future 1st round pick.
"Kyle Korver" could be a great contributor to the Cavs' offense as he can stretch the floor due to his shooting skills. As a 3-point specialist, Korver can help the team to provide open space where LeBron James and Kyrie Irving dominates.
Several basketball analysts said that thought the Cavaliers acquired the veteran 3-point shooter, Korver doesn't really upgrade the team to a new level. Korver doesn't provide a strong defense that would probably result in LeBron James to double up his effort on both ends of the court.
With the arrival of Korver to the Cavaliers, the team was compared to the Warriors and it has been said that it doesn't mean that the Cavs could have a higher chance of beating the All-Star Dubs. Fans should keep in mind that the Warriors acquired Durant, which is a matchup nightmare for any of the Cavs.
On the other hand, Mike Dunleavy is reportedly refusing to report to the Hawks. Dunleavy expressed his frustration about the trade and resist of playing with the Hawks, according to the CBS Sports.
Until today, it is not clear which player the Hawks could keep or what they would get in return. As far as everyone is concerned, Paul Millsap is one of the players that expressed his intention not to re-sign with the Hawks next season.
